A mattress covering in the form of a fitted mattress pad or fitted sheet has an inelastic, generally rectangular top portion and a side skirt extending transversely, preferably perpendicularly from the outer periphery of the top portion in a closed loop entirely around the outer periphery of the top portion. The side skirt can be made of a single panel of a single layer of a textile material, or it can be made of multiple panels or lengths of other materials each of a single layer. A first elastic cord is attached to the inelastic material of the side skirt at its outer periphery remote from the top portion. A second, separate flat elastic strap is attached to the inelastic material of the side skirt at some place between and spaced apart from the top panel portion and the first elastic cord, preferably closer to the top portion outer periphery than to the first elastic cord. The top portion is dimensioned to fit a standard size mattress and the side skirt is dimensioned to fit a range of mattress heights.
