ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a protective mattress sheet which is capable of being washed frequently.
To this end, the sheet consists of a layer (6) of waterproof fibers which retain liquids by capillary action contained between two fabric layers (4) and (5), the upper one of which is a wide-meshed fabric and the lower one of which is waterproofed. The protective sheet is bordered by a bias (13). It may also comprise two small lateral grooves, each formed by folding back an edge (14), the small part which is folded back being secured by stitches (18). An absorbent material (17) may be easily introduced into the grooves.
The present invention may be used both for hospital beds and in the hotel industry.
