Abstract
Abstract A first embodiment of a bedding attachment device includes a strip of hook fastening material which is attachable to a bed frame and a further strip of loop fastening material which is selectively attachable to the bedding. Garter-like fastening straps are fixedly secured to the loop strip, and these straps are attached to the bedding at selected positions. The bedding may then be stretched over the mattress until the hook and loop fastening strips are engaged. A second embodiment makes use of the hook and loop fastening straps; however, the garter-like straps are replaced by a rigid plastic clamp which may be snap fitted over the bedding.
