Provided herein is a new fire barrier material composed of flame retardant (FR) cellulosic fiber(s) and one or more of an antimicrobial (AM) cellulosic fiber and an untreated cellulosic fiber(s). The fire barrier material may be a fabric woven or knitted from the yarn containing the FR cellulosic fiber(s) and the one or more of AM cellulosic fibers and untreated cellulosic fibers. When AM cellulosic fibers are combined with FR treated cellulosic fibers, the fire barrier material has the dual features of flame retardancy and antimicrobial properties. The fire barrier material may also be a nonwoven, and in preferred embodiments optionally includes a binder fiber. The FR cellulosic fiber contains FR chemical(s) or FR compound(s) that have a melting point or decomposition temperature at 400 C. (752 F.) or below. The FR performance of the new nonwoven provided herein is comparable to the conventional FR nonwoven (FR cellulosic fiber/binder fiber), but has advantages in cost effectiveness, as well as antimicrobial properties.

A pillow is provided herein which includes a cover having opposing first and second panels. A gusset perimetrically bounds, and joins, the first and second panels. The gusset is formed of an open cell construction. Compliant fill material is disposed within the cover. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a pillow is provided allowing for lateral ventilation between opposing panels. This permits a cooling effect while a user is resting or sleeping.

A blanket having a vibrating element, heating element, sound generator, sound speaker and programmable wake-up alarm. A circuit electrically connects the programmable wake-up element with one or more of the vibrating element, heating element, sound generating element and sound speaker element to wake a sleeping person at a pre-set time by vibrations. A remote control can be used control the circuitry and the one or more elements of the blanket.

A mask which will provide air purification along with cooling and warming of a wearer's face and mouth, utilizing tubing that is filled with liquid that is detachable to the mask. The liquid is temperature controlled utilizing a thermostat and distributed by a pump. The mask is provided with removable filters, the filters clean incoming air and have filaments of organic herbs that are breathable and can serve medicinal purposes. A fan is attached to the mask to provide air circulation from outside the mask that is filtered before it reaches inside the mask to help purify the incoming air. An exhaust valve filter is placed inside the mask that filters air exiting the mask to the outside environment.

A bed linen combination for use on a mattress. The combination includes a bottom fitted sheet having a first side, an opposing second side, a top edge and a foot-end which is sized and shaped to fit over the mattress. The combination also includes a top flat sheet attached to the bottom fitted sheet at the foot-end and a portion of the first and second sides of the bottom fitted sheet at first and second side attachment segments. Tags may also be affixed at the ends of the side attachment segments to the top flat sheet and bottom fitted sheet. In another embodiment of the present invention, a blanket may be magnetically held in place at the foot-end of the top flat sheet and bottom fitted sheet.

A pillow includes: a body having a filler, consisting of bundles of fibers, filled inside a covering having a space therein; a printed pattern formed on the upper surface of the covering; and a light-emitting means which is installed in the body and which emits light towards the covering, on which the printed pattern is formed, so as to allow the printed pattern to produce an aesthetic effect.

A bed covering having a plurality of layers between which is an air cavity and having at least one air inlet in fluid communication with the air cavity. The layers have folds and have fasteners. The fasteners may fasten and unfasten and include respective fastener components that self-close when brought together to engage each other and that disengage to separate from each other. The fastener components when fastened to each other close the at least one air inlet and when unfastened from each other open the at least on air inlet. An elastic band is also provided on the periphery to wrap around an air tube when inserted into the at least one air inlet and apply an elastic force under tension to retain the same.

A comfort layer for a bedding or seating product has slow-acting pockets characterized by the individual springs of the comfort layer being pocketed with either semi-impermeable or impermeable fabric. Each seam joining opposed plies of fabric around each of the coil springs of the comfort layer may be segmented, allowing air to flow between the segments, thereby increasing the luxury feel of the comfort layer. The method of making the comfort layer includes compressing the springs and creating pockets with a welding horn and an anvil.
