ABSTRACT:
A novel fitted sheet and a novel rigid fixture for holding a corner of the novel sheet in place on a rectangular waterbed mattress. A fixture is positioned adjacent each corner of the mattress with a base portion under the mattress, an upstanding corner portion having a back side against the corner of the mattress and a face side having a fastener member attached thereto, and a spacing portion spacing the face side from the corner of the frame that holds the waterbed mattress. The novel fitted sheet has a mating fastener member on the inside surface of each of its corners. In combination, the novel sheet fits over the mattress and the corner portions of the four (4) fixtures with the fastener members fastened together, holding the novel sheet in place. Because the corners of the mattress are spaced away from the frame, the mattress does not have to be lifted or otherwise manipulated to position the sheet on, or remove the sheet from, the mattress. The novel fitted sheet may include a loop or tab attached to the edge of each of its corners.
