Abstract
The safety sheet of the present invention may include a bed sheet with sleeves along one or more sides. The sleeves may be continuous or slotted and may accommodate inserts constructed of a material soft enough to avoid injury yet sturdy enough to provide an effective barrier to lateral motion of a bed's occupant. The safety sheet may include solid or hollow inserts. Portability of the safety sheet may be maximized by the use of inflatable/deflatable inserts. Inserts may vary in size and shape, and the sleeves may vary in size to accommodate a range of insert sizes. Alternatively, the sleeves may be stuffed with soft materials such as socks or other clothing when inserts are unavailable. The safety sheet may be reversed with inserts in place for aesthetic and comfort purposes or without inserts to hide the sleeves when inserts are no longer needed.
