Abstract

An improved bedding anchor, which comprises a somewhat U-shaped hook with a plastic retainer strip. An end of the bed sheet or like sheet material is wrapped around the retaining strip and the retaining strip with the end of the bed sheet wrapped therearound is inserted in the U-shaped hook. An elastic strip is connected to the hook at one end and at its other end. At the other end of the strip is a retaining pad which is preferably formed of a foam-like member, and is inserted between a box springs and a mattress. Preferably, a separate bedding anchor is located at each of the corners of a bed to retain the sheet in a taut condition.
