Abstract
A mattress cover includes a top panel, a skirt portion depending from the periphery of the top panel, and an elastic strip connected to the free edge of the skirt portion. The elastic strip has a width of between about 0.75" and about 3.0" so as to produce a strong elastic force holding the mattress cover in close conforming relationship on mattresses within a wide range of thicknesses. The elastic strip is sufficiently wide that ornamentation, including trademarks, logos and other symbols applied thereto, would be readily discernible when the mattress cover is not in use, but would not be plainly visible when the mattress cover is in use and therefore would not interfere with the aesthetic appearance of the bed.
