Claims
- 1. A knitted bedsheet comprising:A core spun elastomeric yarn and a non-elastic yarn, said core spun elastomeric yarn being knitted with said nonelastic yarn whereby the ratio of ends of non-elastic yarn to ends of core spun elastomeric yarns in said knitted bedsheet is greater than 2:1, said core spun elastomeric yarn being greater in size than said non-elastic yarn, such that said knitted bedsheet has ridges on one side and has a smooth surface on the opposite side.
- 2. The knitted bedsheet of claim 1 in which said ratio of ends of non-elastic yarns to ends of core spun elastomeric yarns in said knitted bedsheet is between 3:1 and 6:1.
- 3. The knitted bedsheet of claim 2 in which the size of said core spun elastomeric yarn is more than one and one-half times the size of said non-elastic yarn.
- 4. The knitted bedsheet of claim 2 wherein said ridges are spaced apart a sufficient distance to permit air to pass within the space defined by said ridges.
- 5. The knitted bedsheet of claim 5 wherein, when said surface of said bedsheet having ridges is placed adjacent to a second surface, said ridges hold a portion of said fabric away from said second surface.
