A cord with an outer fabric covering over a sheath and draw string is used to secure a sheet to a bed. The cord has a series of clips attached there-to by a second cord or by direct attachment. The clips are in turn removably attachable to edges of a sheet. One then tightens the draw string, reducing the length of the cord, and continues to do so until the sheet is pulled to a bottom side of the mattress. In this manner, the sheet ends are beneath the mattress and tightened thereto by the cord. The cord further snaps to itself, in embodiments of the disclosed technology, to form a closed loop around the bed.

1. A method of covering a bed with a fabric sheet comprising the steps of: placing said fabric sheet on a top side of said bed, with at least some of said fabric sheet draped over front, back, left and right sides of said bed;wrapping a continuous cord enclosing a draw string around each of said front, said back, said left, and said right sides of said bed, at least a portion of said draw string extending through a hollow portal in said cord;connecting said fabric sheet to said cord via a plurality of removable cords, with at least one cord of said plurality of removable cords being associated with each of said front, said back, said left, and said right side of said bed; andpulling at least a portion of said draw string out of said hollow portal in said continuous cord, causing said continuous cord to decrease in length such that said connected fabric sheet more completely and tightly covers said front, said back, said left, and said right side of said bed. 2. The method of covering a bed of claim 1, wherein said step of pulling continues until said continuous cord is completely adjacent to a bottom side of said bed, said bottom side being opposite said top side. 3. The method of covering a bed of claim 2, wherein said step of pulling further continues until said fabric sheet covers at least a portion of said bottom side of said bed. 4. The method of covering a bed of claim 1, wherein said cord comprises an outer fabric layer covering an elastic layer which, in turn, covers said hollow portal and said draw string runs a length of said hollow portal. 5. The method of covering a bed of claim 1, wherein each cord of said plurality of removable cords comprises a removable clip at one end thereof, which is attached to said fabric sheet in said step of connecting and further comprises another end which is removably connectable to said continuous cord. 6. The method of covering a bed of claim 1, wherein each cord of said plurality of removable cords comprises a removable clip at one end thereof, which is attached to said fabric sheet in said step of connecting, and further comprises another end which is fixedly and permanently connected to said continuous cord. 7. The method of covering a bed of claim 1, further comprising a step of connecting opposite ends of said cord to each other via a fastening mechanism, before said step of pulling. 8. The method of covering a bed of claim 1, wherein more completely is totally completely, such that an entirety of each said front, said back, said left, and said right side of said bed are covered by said sheet. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of connecting said fabric sheet to said cord is carried out before said step of placing said fabric sheet on said top side of said bed. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein said sheet is fitted. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein said sheet is unfitted. 12. A kit for covering and securing a pre-determined sized bed with a fabric sheet upon a mattress, comprising: an elastic cord with a draw string extending within an elastic layer and a fabric layer of said cord, at least a portion of said draw string further extending through at least one hollow portal in said elastic cord;a plurality of removable cords attached perpendicularly to said elastic cord, each removable cord having a connector located at an end thereof, the connectors each being removably attachable to said fabric sheet;wherein, in a first condition, said sheet overlies said mattress and edges of said sheet are at proximate sides of said mattress and wherein said elastic cord with said draw string is sized to extend beyond a perimeter defined by said mattress such that the connectors may engage the sheet;wherein pulling said draw string out of said at least one hollow portal in said elastic cord causes a transition from said first condition to a second condition; andwherein, in a second condition with said sheet overlying said mattress and said connectors attached to said sheet, said elastic cord with said draw string and at least portions of said sheet are located relatively lower around said mattress than in said first condition, the length of the elastic cord being shorter in the second condition than in the first condition. 13. The kit of claim 12, wherein each cord of said plurality of removable cords has clamps, including one at a first end removably attached to said elastic cord and a second at a second opposite end from said first end removably attached to said fabric sheet. 14. The kit of claim 12, wherein each cord of said plurality of removable cords has a clamp at a first end removably attached to said fabric sheet and, at a second opposite end thereof, a permanent connection to said elastic cord. 15. The kit of claim 12, wherein said elastic cord comprises fasteners at extreme ends thereof which fasten to each other. 16. The kit of claim 15, wherein said plurality of removable cords each comprise a snap fastener. 17. The kit of claim 12, wherein said elastic cord comprises fasteners at extreme ends thereof which are configured to fasten to each other. 18. A kit for covering and securing a pre-determined sized bed with a fabric sheet upon a mattress, comprising: an elastic cord with a draw string extending within an elastic layer and a fabric layer of said cord, at least a portion of said draw string further extending through at least one hollow portal in said elastic cord;a plurality of removable cords attached perpendicularly to said elastic cord, each removable cord having a connector located at an end thereof, the connectors each being configured to removably attach to said fabric sheet;wherein, in a first condition, said sheet overlies said mattress and edges of said sheet are proximate sides of said mattress and wherein said elastic cord with said draw string is sized to extend beyond a perimeter defined by said mattress such that the connectors may engage the sheet;wherein pulling said draw string out of said at least one hollow portal in said elastic cord causes a transition from said first condition to a second condition; andwherein, in a second condition with said sheet overlying said mattress and said connectors attached to said sheet, said elastic cord with said draw string and at least portions of said sheet are located below said mattress, the length of the elastic cord being shorter in the second condition than in the first condition.
