Abstract
A fitted sheet having a top panel and side and end panels for covering the top, sides and ends of the mattress. A one-piece elastic band of generally cylindrical cross-section has end portions attached by band end anchors to one end panel of the fitted sheet, and the band is slidably connected intermediate its ends by intermediate band connectors to opposite side panels of the sheet in a manner such that an intermediate section of the band extends between the side panels of the sheet generally parallel to the end panel and corner sections of the band extend generally diagonally from the intermediate band sections to the end panel. The intermediate band connectors are arranged to allow sliding of the band to substantially equalize the tension of the corner band sections with the intermediate band section of the elastic band.
