A one-piece fitted bed sheet and mattress pad has a batt quilted to a backing fabric and a cover of unquilted sheeting material. The cover is joined to the batt and backing fabric along a seam around their respective perimeters. Elastic tape is provided at preferably opposite ends of the fitted bed sheet and mattress pad to enable it to substantially conform to the shape of the mattress and hold it in place on the mattress.

All four corners of a single rectangular piece of quilted material are notched to form a mattress shield blank. The blank has a rectangular center portion substantially the same size as the top of the mattress to be covered, two side portions substantially the same size as the sides of the mattress and two end portions which are larger than the ends of the mattress. Each of the side and end portions are folded downwardly to form the sides and ends of the mattress shield and each pair of abutting side and end portions are secured together to form four vertical corners. The end flaps or the remaining parts of the end portions are then folded inwardly so as to be parallel to the top portion. These flaps are adapted to cover a portion of the bottom of the mattress and are secured to the side portions adjacent the edges of the flaps. In a second embodiment, the side portions are also provided with flaps which are secured at their edges to the edges of the end flaps.

A cover pocket for securing the corners of a mattress cover to a mattress or box spring which is made from a rectangular flexible material. The material to be made into the corner pocket has notches at opposite corners which overlay each other. Folding in a specific manner and fastening by stitching to a matress cover results in the corner pocket to be attached at each of the corners of the mattress cover.

An ultrasonic horn cooperates with a cutting wheel and two stitching wheels to simultaneously cut, seal and stitch thermoplastic material. The cutting and stitching wheels are urged towards the ultrasonic horn by a spring biased pivot arm upon which the wheels are rotatably mounted. The combination of ultrasonic horn, wheels and pivot arm define a cutting assembly. The entire cutting assembly is connected to the reciprocating rod of a piston which alternately lowers the cutting assembly into a cutting position wherein the material to be cut is located between the horn tip and the wheels, and raises the cutting assembly into a return position wherein the material to be cut is below and out of contact with the cutting assembly.
