Abstract

A bedsheet-holder for securing bedding materials together when in use on a mattress. The bedsheet-holder includes an elongated flexible member having a first end and a second end designed to secure a plurality of bedding materials in place. A plurality of fasteners positioned along the length of the elongated member are designed to secure the elongated member to the plurality of bedding materials, such that the plurality of bedding materials remain attached to one another and are prevented from falling off of a bed when in use. The bedsheet-holder further includes a first mating fastener on the first end of the member designed to removably attach the member to a first side of a frame of a bed, and a second mating fastener on the second end of the member designed to removably attach the elongated member to an opposite second side of a frame of a bed.

Claims
