A substantially rectangular fabric has a top sleeping panel, four depending side panels with substantially square apertures cut between adjacent perpendicular edges of said side panels, and four fitted corners. Each corner is partially stitched beginning at the top of the open portion of the corner formed by the aperture and extending inwardly towards the top panel to form a dart. When the sheet is positioned on the mattress, the stitched portion of each sheet corner while the lower portion of top portion of the mattress corner while the lower portion of each mattress corner protrudes through the aperture formed between adjacent sheet side panels. The sheet is maintained in position on the mattress by a flap secured to the lower edge of a first side panel adjacent each corner. This flap extends outwardly towards the adjacent second side panel when the flap is folded under the mattress so that the free end of each flap is adapted to overlie a portion of the adjacent second side panel. Adherend strips mounted on opposed faces of the overlying portions of each flap and second side panel removably and adjustably secure the free end of each flap to the respective second side panel. Means are also provided to secure one edge of an overlying top sheet to any side panel of the fitted sheet.
