Bed covering system

Abstract

A bedding system invention makes it easier to make and maintain a bed. The system includes a fitted sheet attached to a top sheet with an elastomeric panel of material disposed in a foot portion of the fitted sheet. The top sheet is attached along a seam proximate the elastomeric portion of the fitted sheet and the remainder of the fitted sheet thus preventing a bed user from pulling the fitted sheet off the mattress and providing a more natural feel to the bedding system. The system can further include added attachable components including a blanket, comforter and other top coverings. The system eases the placement of the bedding components on the bed and provides a quick and effective was to make the bed and have it appear neatly made.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bedding system for a mattress, but not including the mattress, the bedding system comprising:
 a fitted sheet adapted to cover a mattress's top, sides, including a head side and a foot side of the mattress, and a portion of a bottom of the mattress,   wherein said fitted sheet includes an elastomeric panel disposed in a portion of the fitted sheet adapted to cover a foot-side of the mattress; and   a top sheet connected to said fitted sheet at least partially along a seam between said elastomeric panel and a remainder of said fitted sheet.   
     
     
         2 . The bedding system of  claim 1 , wherein the connection between said fitted sheet and said top sheet extends to sides of said fitted sheet as seen when said fitted sheet is on the mattress, wherein said top sheet forms mitered corners near the foot-side of the mattress. 
     
     
         3 . The bedding system of  claim 1 , wherein said top sheet further comprises a fastener adapted to couple a bed covering to said top sheet, wherein said fastener is disposed on said top sheet near the foot-side of the mattress. 
     
     
         4 . The bedding system of  claim 3 , further comprising said bed covering, wherein said bed covering has a second fastener on a top surface of said bed covering and is adapted to connect to a second bed covering. 
     
     
         5 . The bedding system of  claim 1 , wherein said top sheet includes an alignment indicator disposed proximate a top middle of said top sheet. 
     
     
         6 . A bedding system, comprising:
 a fitted sheet comprising a flat panel, said flat panel connected to a head side panel, a left side panel, a right side panel and a foot side panel, a head under panel generally extends from said head side panel, a left under panel generally extends from said left side panel, a right under panel generally extends from said right side panel and an elongatable under panel extends from said foot side panel, said under panels adapted to at least partially cover the bottom side of a mattress, and   a top sheet comprising a flat panel defined by a top edge, a right edge, a left edge and a bottom edge, said top sheet attached to said fitted sheet in proximity to said elongatable under panel.   
     
     
         7 . The bedding system of  claim 6 , wherein said bottom edge of said top sheet is attached to said foot panel of said fitted sheet, forming a foot edge at the intersection of the foot side and top side of the mattress. 
     
     
         8 . The bedding system of  claim 7 , wherein said bottom edge of said top sheet connects to said foot panel of said fitted sheet adjacent to said elongatable under panel. 
     
     
         9 . The bedding system of  claim 8 , wherein said bottom edge of said top sheet is at least partially attached to said left side panel of said fitted sheet thereby forming a left side mitered corner and said foot edge of said top sheet is at least partially attached to said left right panel of said fitted sheet, thereby forming a right side mitered corner. 
     
     
         10 . The bedding system of  claim 8 , wherein said top sheet further comprises a fastener, said fastener disposed on said flat panel adjacent to said foot edge. 
     
     
         11 . The bedding system of  claim 10 , further comprising a blanket, said blanket having fastener disposed adjacent to a foot edge of said blanket, said blanket fastener adapted to connect to said fastener disposed on said flat panel of said top sheet. 
     
     
         12 . The bedding system of  claim 11 , further comprising a coverlet, said coverlet having a fastener disposed adjacent to a foot edge of said coverlet, said blanket further comprising a fastener adapted to connect to said fastener disposed on said coverlet. 
     
     
         13 . A bedding system, comprising:
 a fitted sheet having an elongatable underpanel adapted to at least partially cover the bottom side of a mattress; and   a top sheet comprising a flat panel defined by a top edge, a right edge, a left edge and a bottom edge, said top sheet attached to said fitted sheet.   
     
     
         14 . The bedding system of  claim 13 , wherein said bottom edge of said top sheet connects to said fitted sheet adjacent to said elongatable underpanel. 
     
     
         15 . The bedding system of  claim 14 , wherein said bottom edge of said top sheet connects to said fitted sheet adjacent to said elongatable underpanel forming a foot edge at the intersection of the foot side and top side of the mattress. 
     
     
         16 . The bedding system of  claim 15 , wherein said top sheet further comprises fastenings, said fastenings disposed on said flat panel adjacent to said foot edge. 
     
     
         17 . The bedding system of  claim 16 , further comprising a blanket, said blanket having fastenings disposed adjacent to a foot edge of said blanket, said blanket fastenings adapted to connect to said fastenings disposed on said flat panel of said top sheet. 
     
     
         18 . The bedding system of  claim 17 , further comprising a coverlet, said coverlet having fastenings disposed adjacent to a foot edge of said coverlet, said blanket further comprising fastenings adapted to connect to said fastenings disposed on said coverlet.
