An integrated pillow case and fitted sheet, wherein the location of the pillow case is definitely defined with respect to the fitted sheet, and wherein the pillow contained therein is not readily accessible to a would-be pilferer. The integrated pillow case and fitted sheet is composed of a fitted sheet having conventional elastic portions for form fitting upon a mattress, and further has one or more pillow cases connected thereto. In a first example, a sheet slit having an upper side and a lower side is provided in the fitted sheet at the head thereof and a case slit also having an upper side and a lower side is provided in an otherwise closed pillow case. The upper side of the sheet slit and the case slit are mutually sewn together, as is the lower side thereof. A pillow is inserted into the pillow case through the mutually aligned sheet and case slits. A zipper or other releasable fastener, such as buttons, snaps or VELCRO (trademark of Velcro USA) type hook and loop fastener is preferably then used to close the mutually aligned sheet and case slits. One or more such pillow cases can be connected with the fitted sheet, In a second example, a pillow case is sewn along a seam to the head of a fitted sheet. An otherwise closed pillow case is provided with a slit adjacent to the seam. A pillow is inserted into the pillow case through the slit, The slit may or may not be closable using a releasable fastener such as a zipper, buttons, snaps or VELCRO. One or more such pillow cases can be connected with the fitted sheet,
A sheet construction adapted to secure a pillow and to fittingly engage a mattress includes a main panel having a first pouch at a first end of the panel and cooperating flaps at the other end. The pouch is sized and shaped to encompass a first end of the mattress, while the flaps are adapted to encompass a mid-portion of the mattress. An auxiliary panel cooperates with the main panel to form a pillow-receiving concealment pocket. The pouch and flaps secure the sheet construction to the mattress, and the concealment pocket maintains a pillow in a desired location during use.
A combination beach towel and pillow case comprising a towel, which can be made of fiber-reactive dyed velour on one side for a decorative pattern, and a rectangular panel sized in shape and connected at two edges to form a pillow receiving compartment. The panel is folded over itself, connected at two edges and attached to one end of the beach towel, and can occupy approximately one-twelfth the surface area of the beach towel. Alternately, two rectangular panels can be attached at three edges and connected to one end of the beach towel to form the pillow compartment. The pillow compartment includes a closure at the pillow receiving opening to capture the pillow and keep sand and dirt from entering the pillow compartment and reaching the pillow. The pillow can be easily removed from the pillow compartment providing for easy cleaning of the towel, and easy replacement of the pillow.
A bedsheet with pocket is made by forming a hidden pocket which is located between the bedsheet and a mattress. A slot opening is made in the side edge cover area of a bedsheet, preferably near the head edge cover area of the sheet. The open edge of the pocket is attached to the slot opening to form a cavity to hold articles such as television remote controls, medicines or tissues, within easy reach of a person in bed.
A sheet construction adapted to secure a pillow and to fittingly engage a mattress includes a main panel having a first pouch at a first end of the panel and a second pouch at a second end of the panel. The first pouch is sized and shaped to encompass a first end of the mattress, while the second pouch is adapted to encompass a second end of the mattress. The second pouch includes cooperating flaps that extend from the main panel and overlap. An auxiliary panel cooperates with the main panel to form a pillow-receiving concealment pocket. The pouches secure the sheet construction to the mattress, and the concealment pocket maintains a pillow in a desired location during use. In an alternative embodiment, the pouches are sized and oriented to encompass the mattress sides.
