Abstract
A fitted bed sheet is adapted for use with a relatively thin mattress having cutaway corners. The fitted sheet is formed from a blank of sheet material to have corner pockets that easily fit over the mattress corners. In particular embodiments the sheet is formed from the blank by a series of folding operations and is then stitched at the corner pockets to complete the sheet. The resulting fitted sheet may be ironed in conventional flat-ironing machines and may be folded into a compact form by an automatic folding machine.
