A convertible cover includes a cover and first and second nonrectangular panels. The first and second nonrectangular panels each have a generally horizontal set of opposing sides and a generally vertical set of opposing sides. The generally horizontal set of opposing sides is attached to the cover and the generally vertical set of opposing sides is not attached to the cover.

A bedsheet having a stress relieving foam insert around a sewn edge. The foam insert is preferably constructed from closed-cell polyurethane foam rubber and may include a fluid bladder when the foam insert is formed for segments. The fluid bladder for use in enlarging the foam inserts, and may include reed apertures positioned between segments wherein audible sounds are created when fluid is transferred between segments. The squeezing of the foam inserts providing stress relief to an individual and promoting restful sleep. The foam inserts attached to bedsheet to prevent misplacement.

Various entertainment systems, that include a blanket, along with a flexible book that is removably attachable to the blanket, are described. Such flexible books may include a flexible cover and disposed within the flexible cover may be at least one flexible page. The flexible book may be constructed from a fabric. In some embodiments, the blanket may comprise at least one pocket for removable storage of the flexible book. In some embodiments, the blanket may be folded in half, creating a folder, wherein this folder may be used to removably store the flexible book. And irrespective of such flexible book storage with the blanket, the flexible book may be removably attached to the blanket using mechanical fasteners. Additionally, methods of use and methods of manufacturing for such blankets and flexible books are described, disclosed, and taught.

The invention relates to a convertible cushion that may be used as a blanket in an unfolded configuration or used as a cushion or bed in a folded configuration. One use of such a device relates to a fully washable pet bed. When folded, the convertible cushion may be used by a pet as a bed. When unfolded, the convertible cushion may be used as a blanket. Additionally, the device is constructed of material that is fully washable so that it may be washed in a typical household washing machine when in the unfolded position and fully cleaned.

For some configurations, the convertible cushion may further be used in a pocketbook mode, a backpack mode, and a sleeping bag mode (by combining two or more convertible cushions).

A bed covering device for protecting humans, animals and objects from crawling pests such as bed bugs. The device includes a top component for contacting the top surface of bedding such as a mattress or box spring. The top component includes barrier material suitable for preventing pests from biting humans or animals resting on the bedding. The device further includes a fitted side skirt joined to the periphery of the top component and having a slippery, i.e., low friction, exterior surface that hinders bed bugs and similar pests from climbing up the covered bedding and gaining access to humans, animals, or objects resting atop the bedding. The device may be part of a system including pillow protectors, headboard and/or footboard protectors for preventing contact by traditional bed coverings with walls or bed structures that may be infested by bed bugs.

A cooling blanket, including a wall defining a body portion, a plurality of elongated chambers positioned within the body portion, a plurality of baffles positioned within each respective elongated chamber, at least one respective port operationally connected to each respective elongated chamber, and cooling fluid positioned within each respective elongated chamber. The respective elongated chambers are respectively sized to restrict fluid flow towards the ends.

The invention provides an invertible bedding stability system comprising a fitted sheet, a top sheet that resembles a flat sheet at the head end and fitted sheet at the foot end, and a cover bearing a constellation of buttons. The top sheet is sewn by a seam to the fitted sheet along their foot end and one side, such that elastic straps are sandwiched between them and bisected by that seam. The elastic straps define button holes; the external half of each strap may mate to one or more respective buttons on the cover. When the system is mounted on an intended mattress, the bedding remains more reliably in a fully or partially made-bed state, thereby improving the user's sleeping experience.

An interactive therapeutic blanket system is disclosed. The interactive therapeutic blanket system provides a set of selectable features that serve to address mental health therapeutic user needs. In one embodiment, a user selects a selectable blanket configuration using a system interface and a blanket system controller controls a set of active blanket devices to the selectable blanket configuration. In one feature, the set of active blanket devices include a set of vibration devices operating according to a temporally-referenced vibration regimen. In another feature, the set of active blanket devices include a set of pressure devices to impart discrete pressure to a user at discrete body locations.

A bed covering includes side folding portions that can be folded and fastened by fasteners to remain secured in the folded positions when not in use. When the folding portions of the bed covering are in the folded position, the dimensions of the bed covering are approximately those of a standard-sized bed covering for a particular mattress size (e.g., king, queen, etc.). When the bed covering is in use, the folded portions are unfastened and unfolded, increasing the dimensions of the bed covering, resulting in an oversized bed covering. Accordingly, the aesthetics of a properly-sized bed covering for a particular bed size are not sacrificed by use of the oversized bed covering, as the aesthetics are preserved when the bed covering is in the folded configuration.

The present disclosure is directed to multi-layer blanket systems which accommodate the insulation needs of one sleeper or two sleepers, by incorporating flaps that are disposed to open or close ports that can be disposed over different body parts of each sleeper, while keeping the sleeper covered by a lower layer of the system. In some illustrative embodiments, the flaps can be folded off the bed to decrease the amount of insulation on that particular body part for that particular sleeper or left on the bed to increase the amount of insulation on that particular body part for that particular sleeper.
