Abstract
A fitted sheet and a gripping element integrable with fitted sheets is provided. The fitted sheet comprises an elastic band and a plurality of gripping elements secured to a surface of the fitted sheet. Each gripping element comprises a horizontal elastic strip and an inverted V shaped elastic segment attached to the horizontal elastic strip. At least two arms of the inverted V shaped segment are attachable diagonally along the surface of the sheet respectively. The horizontal elastic strip is extendable laterally along a surface of the fitted sheet. The resultant force generated by the elastic band and the plurality of gripping elements enhances gripping of the fitted sheet and prevents crumpling and dog ear formation during usage.
