Hybrid Sheet Device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel hybrid sheet device. The device is a modified bed sheet attached to one side of a mattress to assure a symmetrically made bed every time. The device comprises a body component comprising a single body of material with a pocket positioned along a bottom edge to be placed over the bottom of a mattress. The pocket maintains the sheet in a secure position without worry of it being pulled too far to one side or pulled off the bed entirely. Further, the hybrid sheet device also comprises a marking component, such as a dot, printed on opposing ends of the upper end of the sheet device. Users can align the sheet device with the corners of the mattress via the two dots. Thus, users can easily make their bed each day with minimal effort required.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hybrid sheet device attached to a bottom end of a mattress to assure a symmetrically made bed, the hybrid bed sheet comprising:
 a body component with a pocket; and   at least one marking component;   wherein the pocket is placed over a bottom of the mattress to secure the body component directly to the mattress; and   further wherein the at least one marking component is positioned on an upper end of the body component to allow a user to align the hybrid sheet device with a plurality of corners of the mattress.   
     
     
         2 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 1 , wherein there are two marking components on the body component. 
     
     
         3 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 2 , wherein the two marking components are printed dots. 
     
     
         4 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 3 , wherein the printed dots are printed on opposing ends of the upper end of the body component. 
     
     
         5 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 4 , wherein one of the printed dots is printed on a part of the upper end of the body component which contacts a mattress upper corner. 
     
     
         6 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 5 , wherein the user aligns the body component with the plurality of corners of the mattress via the printed dots, to center the body component on the mattress. 
     
     
         7 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 1 , wherein the body component is a flat portion on which a user rests or is used as a cover. 
     
     
         8 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 7 , wherein the body component has upper and lower surface areas and defines a free end and a mattress fitting end. 
     
     
         9 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 8 , wherein the pocket is formed across a width of the mattress fitting end. 
     
     
         10 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 9 , wherein the pocket is formed integrally with the body component. 
     
     
         11 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 10 , wherein a bottom end of the body component is folded and sewn to create the pocket. 
     
     
         12 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 11 , wherein once in place, the pocket overlies an end portion of the mattress. 
     
     
         13 . A hybrid sheet device attached to a bottom end of a mattress to assure a symmetrically made bed, the hybrid sheet device comprising:
 a body component comprising a free end and a mattress fitting end with a pocket integrally formed at the mattress fitting end; and   two marking components disposed on the body component; and   wherein the pocket is placed over a bottom of a mattress to secure the body component directly to the mattress; and   wherein the two marking components are printed on opposing ends of an upper end of the body component to allow a user to align the hybrid sheet device with upper corners of the mattress.   
     
     
         14 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 13  further comprising a plurality of indicia. 
     
     
         15 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 13  wherein the two marking components are printed dots. 
     
     
         16 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 15 , wherein one of the printed dots is printed on a part of the upper end of the body component which contacts a mattress upper corner. 
     
     
         17 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 16 , wherein a user aligns the body component with corners of the mattress via the printed dots, to center the body component on the mattress. 
     
     
         18 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 13 , wherein when the pocket is fitted over an end of a mattress, the pocket can be expanded via an expandable gather, so as to fit the pocket over the end of the mattress. 
     
     
         19 . The hybrid sheet device of  claim 13 , wherein a bottom end of the body component is folded and sewn to create the pocket. 
     
     
         20 . A method of securing and aligning a sheet to a bed for use, the method comprising the following steps:
 providing a hybrid sheet device comprising a body component with a pocket positioned along a bottom edge and a marking component positioned on an upper end of the sheet device;   choosing a specific style and size of the hybrid sheet device, depending on the needs and/or wants of a user;   positioning the hybrid sheet device on a bed with the pocket secured around a bottom of the mattress;   aligning the marking components on the sheet device with the mattress, to keep the sheet device centered; and   making a bed with the sheet device with minimal effort required.
