A protective case for a travel pillow having a hollow interior configured to receive a travel pillow, the hollow interior having a geometry configured to match the geometry of the travel pillow, wherein the travel pillow is defined by a fill encapsulated by a layer of material, and at least one sealable opening to the hollow interior, wherein the hollow interior is less than an entire interior of the protective case.

A method includes forming a multi-pick yarn package through winding multiple oriented yarns onto a spool, with the multiple oriented yarns serving as weft yarns forming adjacent substantially parallel yarns wound together. Each of the multiple oriented yarns is formed through drawing each of multiple yarns from a corresponding supply package. The method also includes, using the multi-pick yarn package, simultaneously inserting the weft yarns in a single pick insertion event of a pick insertion apparatus of a loom apparatus in which the simultaneously inserted weft yarns are to be conveyed through a set of warp yarns to produce an incremental length of a woven textile fabric.

A wearable and packable neck pillow includes first and second bolsters connected at their upper ends by a crosspiece. The crosspiece includes an opening to an interior of the neck pillow. The opening selectively closable by a closure, which can comprise a zipper, a snap fastener, a button and a hook-and-loop fastener. A bolster fastener is provided for attaching the bolsters at their lower ends, whereby the neck pillow is secured on a wearer. The neck pillow can include additional compartments, such as pockets on one or both of the bolsters. Printing can be placed on the neck pillow.

An expandable pillow cover includes a first layer and a second layer positioned opposite first layer to define an interior space therebetween. The first and second layers are joined to one another at at least junctures of at least two opposing openable sides, and at least two other sides, the at least two opposing openable sides being between the two other sides, wherein the openable sides and the other sides define four corners at which the first and second layers are joined to one another. Gusset panels are positioned between the first layer and the second layer in the interior space and adjacent the at least two opposing openable sides. At least two fasteners, one at each of the at least two opposing openable sides movable independently of each other between an open condition and a closed condition. The cover is adjustable between a first condition where one or both of the fasteners are fastened to contract its respective gusset panel and the interior space has a first volume, and a second condition where one or both of the fasteners are unfastened to expand its respective gusset panel and the interior space has a second volume greater than the first volume.

Systems and methods for a bed linen set comprising: at least one bed sheet having snap buttons on its corners adapted to allow snapping said buttons to allow said bed sheet to be wrapped tightly around a bed; at least four stripes comprising a first side having a double-sided adhesive and a second side having at least two snap buttons; and at least one pillow cover and at least one blanket cover each having snap buttons to allow closing its openings and snap buttons located on its surface adapted to be connected to said stripes.

A system for making a custom pillow using selected ones of several, different, interchangeable components, the selection based on a potential user's answers to questions that identify the user's needs and preferences in regard to pillow characteristics.

A pillow case assembly includes a pillow case defining an internal cavity accessible via an opening for removably receiving a pillow, the pillow case having a perimeter. The pillow case assembly also includes a pillow case accessory removably coupled to the pillow case adjacent the perimeter of the pillow case and a fastener removably coupling the pillow case accessory to the pillow case.

A multi-pillowcase assembly that includes a pillow having a first end and a second end, a set of at least 2 pillowcases each having a first end, a second end, a first side, a second side, a pillowcase displaying condition and a pillowcase inside-out condition, the pillowcases each having an opening for converting the pillowcases between the pillowcase displaying condition and the pillowcase inside-out condition and a fastener attaching the first end of the pillow to the first end of the pillowcase in the pillowcase back side condition.

A woven textile fabric that is lightweight, soft, smooth, supple and durable has a composition including a regenerated cellulosic fiber, cotton and an elastane fiber such as spandex. The fabric includes warp yarn and weft yarn, and the weft yarn is a core spun yarn made of an elastane fiber core surrounded by a sheath of blended regenerated cellulosic fiber and cotton. The fabric construction may range from about 44 ends/inch to about 300 ends/inch and from about 30 picks/inch to about 600 picks/inch. The warp count may range from 2 s count to 140 s count, and the weft count ranges from 2 s count to 170 s count. The fabric, which can be made using a series of innovative process steps, is particularly useful as a bed linen.

A method for adjusting a cushioning element, such as a pillow, by adjusting a length and a volume of a cover of the pillow. The cover includes one or more gathering elements that can alter the length and the volume of the cover. Each gathering element may extend around an end of the cover. Each gathering element may enable adjustment of the length and volume of the cover in extremely small increments or even continuously (i.e., in micro adjustments). Micro-adjustment of the length and volume of the cover may enable adjustment of a position and/or an orientation of at least one endpoint of a closed kinematic chain of an individual's spine, which may provide control over a curvature of the spine.
