USGI Twin Mattress Cover

USGI Twin Mattress Cover

This is a US Army issue mattress cover sized for a twin mattress, the kind of bedding used on barracks bunks and field cots. It wraps the mattress in a layer of white cotton and polyester fabric that you can strip off and wash, so the mattress underneath stays protected. Fabric ties at the end close the cover around the mattress so it stays put on a bunk, in a cabin or at camp.

Features

• Genuine US Army Issue — Supplied through the US military system under National Stock Number 7210-00-883-8492, the federal catalog number used to order it.
• Twin Size — Cut to fit a twin mattress, the size used on most single bunks and cots.
• Cotton And Polyester Blend — The poly-cotton fabric pairs the soft feel of cotton with the strength and easier laundering of polyester.
• Fabric Tie Closure — Sewn-on white cloth ties along the end let you tie the cover snug around the mattress so it does not shift.
• US Stencil Marking — A printed "US" marks the cover as government property, a detail collectors and reenactors look for.
• Plain White Finish — Plain white fabric matches institutional bedding and shows clearly when it needs a wash.
• Washable Barrier Layer — The cover comes off for laundering, which is easier than cleaning the mattress itself.

Issue Specification

The cover is catalogued under Federal Supply Class 7210, the military's household furnishings group, and it was made for barracks and field bedding. Construction is a white cotton and polyester fabric with hemmed edges and stitched-on ties at the closing end. It suits anyone outfitting a bunkroom, hunting cabin or camp cot, and collectors who want period-correct barracks bedding.
