Untucked bedsheet set and method of use

Abstract

The present invention is an untucked bed sheet system designed to simplify the bed-making process and obviate the need to tuck the top bed sheet under the mattress. The system comprises a fitted bed sheet and a top bed sheet. The fitted bed sheet includes at least a pair of fasteners disposed on the top side thereof and near the foot of the fitted bed sheet. The fitted bed sheet includes elastic material along its corners or periphery for a snug fit. The top bed sheet includes corresponding fastener receivers for receiving the fasteners for secure attachment of the fitted bed sheet and the top bedsheet. The top bedsheet remains untucked along the sides and head of the bed. Fasteners such as buttons, magnetic fasteners, zippers, snaps, clips or other attachment mechanisms can be used for removably attaching (i.e., anchor) the fitted bed sheet and the top bedsheet.
