Abstract
A mattress covering adapted for fitted disposition over the top, sides, ends and corners of mattresses. An inelastic, generally rectangular top portion with an outer periphery is dimensioned to at least substantially cover the top surface of mattresses of at least one predetermined standard top surface size. An inelastic side skirt extends transversely to the top portion from the outer periphery of the top portion around the entire outer periphery of the top portion. An inelastic panel extends away from a periphery of the side skirt remote from the top portion and entirely around the side skirt periphery. The inelastic panel is separate and different from the side skirt and is attached to the periphery of the side skirt remote from the top portion. A first elastic cord is secured with the inelastic panel at a periphery of the panel remote from the side skirt.
