New York — The Fissato, a patented sheet with hidden snaps that can be connected to any blanket, quilt, bedspread or comforter, will debut during the New York Home Textiles Market, according to Louis Valentine, marketing director and inventor for Fissato Inc.

Intended to ensure the top sheet and blanket do not separate during the night, the Fissato is being introduced as a bed in a bag product in full through king sizes to specialty department stores retailing between $80 and $100. It is manufactured in China of 100 percent cotton.

"Fissato is reaching out to the consumer with this new product," said Matthew Kashani, ceo. "It was developed in response to consumers' complaints about the top sheet …getting lost at the foot of the bed during a night's sleep.

The Fissato, which means "attached" in Italian, is currently available in 200-count ecru and soft blue.
