Foot support method
A novel foot support device includes a first sidewall adapted to engage the lateral side of a first foot, a second sidewall adapted to engage the lateral side of a second foot, and a backwall adapted to engage both the plantar region of the first foot and the plantar region of the second foot. In a particular embodiment, the first sidewall includes an inclined interior surface, the second sidewall includes an inclined interior surface, and the backwall includes an inclined interior surface. In another particular embodiment, the foot support device includes sidewalls and a backwall that can flatten and pivot relative to one another, facilitating a collapsible foot support device.
Mattress securing apparatus and method of using the same
A mattress securement device having a generally planar substrate dimensioned to have one or more aperture that is circumscribed by peripheral multi-directional edges of the planar substrate. An adhesive along one side of the planar substrate enables the mattress securement device to be releasably adhered to a foundation on which a mattress is supported. The weight of the mattress urges a portion thereof into the one or more apertures and other portions of the mattress against the multi-directional edges, both of which resist the mattress moving or sliding relative to the foundation.
Comfort Curtain Bed Divider
Comfort Curtain Bed Divider separates a shared bed into two spaces and prevents one person's breath exhales from assaulting their bedmate. It also blocks direct light from wireless devices from a bedmate's line of sight. It consists of two end boards, a line, and a stiff curtain. Each end board is folded at a 90-degree angle designed to slide underneath a mattress at the center point of the head and foot of the bed. The dome of the boards features height adjustable fasteners that allow a line to attach onto them so that a stiff curtain can run on the line.
Bed sheet/bed covering securing device and method
The present invention includes a device for securing bed sheets on a mattress having a bottom, a top surface, and a periphery including side and end walls, the device including a sleeve or band having side panels, end panels corner panels and a top edge, the sleeve or band can be fitted around the mattress periphery side and end walls. A securing, gripping, or positioning element, e.g., elastic or other suitable securing element, can be provided at one or more locations on the sleeve or band, wherein the securing, gripping, or positioning element(s) can be placed around the mattress periphery at a position below the mattress top surface. The securing, gripping, or positioning element(s) are capable of securing the bed sheets in between the sleeve or band and the mattress.
Article comprising a temperature-conditioned surface, thermoelectric control unit, and method for temperature-conditioning the surface of an article
The present invention provides systems, methods, and articles for temperature conditioning a surface. An article is formed from a first layer having a plurality of openings and a second layer having a corresponding plurality of openings. At least one interior chamber constructed and configured to retain a fluid without leaking is defined between an interior surface of the first layer and an interior surface of the second layer. At least one flexible fluid supply line delivers the fluid to the at least one interior chamber. At least one flexible fluid return line removes the fluid from the at least one interior chamber. At least one control unit that is operable to selectively cool or heat the fluid is attached to the at least one flexible fluid supply line and the at least one flexible fluid return line.
BEDDING SYSTEM
A bedding system includes a base having a bracket and a cushion having a rod. The rod is configured to removably engage the bracket to couple the cushion to the base in a manner that prevents relative movement between the cushion and the base.
BEDDING SYSTEM
A bedding system may include an integrated top blanket and bottom blanket joined to one another at a seam. A tuck panel may extend from the seam and may include and anchor, the tuck panel and anchor being constructed and arranged to secure the top blanket and bottom blanket to a bed, mattress, box spring, bed frame, or the like.
Zipper Mattress Attachment
A system can include a zipper that connects a mattress to a bed foundation. For example, the zipper can extend from a head end to a foot end of an adjustable foundation. For another example, a zipper can connect to a mattress along a seam of the mattress and/or to a foundation along a seam of a foundation. For another example, a first zipper can connect the mattress core to a second zipper and the second zipper can connect a foundation to the first zipper. For another example, first and second zippers can be substantially vertically aligned.
Individualized bedsheet system
The disclosed bedsheet system includes a middle portion, a foot connector, and a head connector that allows for quick removal and/or addition of sheets. The middle portion has a length and a width defining a plane, the length has a first end and a second end. The foot connector is attached to the first end of the middle portion and has at least one sheet connector mechanism. The head connector is attached to the second end of the middle portion and has at least one sheet connector mechanism. The foot connector and the head connector extend generally perpendicular from the plane of the middle portion.
Mattress Corner Retainer Bracket
A mattress corner retainer bracket having a flex segment pivotally mounted to an adjustable bed frame and having two retention segments spaced apart that are each joined to the flex segment. Each of the three segments extend in different respective planes relative to each other. As a mattress flexes in unison with adjustable movement imparted by the adjustable bed frame, the mattress corners impart a force against the two retention segments, which retain the mattress in its relative position on the adjustable bed frame by preventing the mattress from sliding off. The two retention segments are joined to each other via a joining rod that extends within the flex plane.
