               A bottom sheet having a first end and a second end with                
          said first end and said second end in opposed generally                     
          parallel relation, and having a first edge and a second edge                
          with said first edge and said second edge in opposed generally              
          parallel relation; and                                                      
               A top sheet having a first end and a second end with said              
          first end and said second end in opposed generally parallel                 
          relation, and having a first edge and a second edge with said               
          first edge and said second edge in opposed generally parallel               
          relation, with said first end of said top sheet connected to                
          said first edge of said bottom sheet with said first edge of                
          said top sheet connected to said first edge of said bottom                  
          sheet along a substantial majority of the length of said first              
          edges, with said second end of said top sheet free from                     
          connection to said second end of said bottom sheet, and with                
          said second edge of said top sheet free from connection to                  
          said second edge of said bottom sheet through a substantial                 
          majority of the length of said second edges.
