A bedding sleeve dimensioned to slide over an upper portion of bedding is provided. The bedding sleeve embodies a system and method of providing one bedding cover material for the the upper portion of the bedding and a yet a different bedding cover material for the lower portion of the bedding. The bedding sleeve defines a cavity for receiving the upper portion of the bedding, wherein the opening communicating with the cavity is configured to snuggly engaged the periphery of the bedding in such a way that the bedding sleeve does not move around when in use, even if the bedding has a full sheet cover of another material already attached thereto.

A mattress cover includes a fabric substrate having a top surface, a bottom surface, a head portion, a foot portion, a first length, and a first width, a secret tuck portion attached to the foot portion on the bottom surface of the fabric substrate, the secret tuck portion having a second length and a second width. The second width is less than the first width. A method of making a mattress cover includes providing a fabric substrate having a top surface, a bottom surface, a head portion, a foot portion, a first length, and a first width, and attaching a secret tuck portion to the foot portion on the bottom surface of the fabric substrate, the secret tuck portion having a second length and a second width. The second width is less than the first width.

A foam mattress in which a layer of latex or latex-like foam placed above a layer of memory foam is described. This construction of the mattress provides the contouring pressure relief that a visco-elastic foam provides with a top surface with quick recovery (a latex-like “bounce”) that prevents people from getting “stuck” in the visco-elastic foam and improves the springiness of the mattress. The mattress may also include straps and cinches to aid in transportation of the mattress. The mattress may also include removable covers that aid in keeping the mattress clean.

Active comfort controlled bedding systems include a variable firmness control and/or variable climate control. The active comfort controlled bedding systems generally include a plurality of air bladders, each one of the plurality of air bladders includes a pressure sensor configured to measure pressure within a respective air bladder. A control unit configured to selectively operate a pump and valves to sequentially adjust a pressure in two or more of the plurality of air bladders having an applied load of an end user thereon to provide a repeating pattern within the two or more plurality of air bladders, wherein the repeating pattern is defined by a pressure increase and subsequent decrease in a selected one of the plurality of air bladders followed a pressure increase and subsequent decrease in a selected other one of the plurality of air bladders to provide a massaging action.

A mattress guard with one or more inflatable bumpers to prevent patients or older adults from accidentally rolling out of or falling out of bed, and also to avoid the patients or older adults from being trapped in hard/rigid bed rails. A mattress cover includes a fitted mattress sheet, one or more inflatable bumpers, and an air pump system to inflate and deflate the one or more bumpers. At least one of the bumpers has a length and a position that optimizes safety and allows for common user movements without requiring deflation of the bumper. A dual pump system may include primary pump with higher inflation rate to initially inflate one or more bumpers and a secondary pump with lower inflation rate and/or that is quieter to maintain inflation of the bumper(s). An alert system can provide alerts to relatives or staff if a patient is endangered.

A barrier for a mattress and a bed deck is provided. The barrier includes a mattress cover portion and a skirt. The mattress cover portion is configured to fit over a top and sides of a mattress. The skirt extends beneath the mattress cover portion. The skirt comprises an upper panel and a lower panel. The upper panel is coupled with the mattress cover portion along a first perimeter. The lower panel is coupled with the upper panel along a second perimeter. The lower panel comprises a lower edge that defines a third perimeter. The lower panel is configured for selective coupling to a bed deck.

A furniture covering includes a main body extending from a first end to a second end, the main body having a pair of first tabbed ends at the first end, and the pair of second tabbed ends at the second end, a pair of end portions coupled to a midsection of the main body, a pair of first wings coupled to the first tabbed ends, and a pair of second wings coupled to the second tabbed ends, the pair of first wings and the pair of second wings being set back from respective edges of the tabbed ends.

A mattress assembly includes a chassis having top and bottom walls and first and second sidewalls that each extend from the top wall to the bottom wall. Inner surfaces of the walls and the sidewalls define an interior cavity. The top and bottom walls each include a first section that is connected to the first sidewall and a second section that is connected to the second sidewall such that the first sections are pivotable relative to the first sidewall and the second sections are pivotable relative to the second sidewall. The first section of the top wall is pivotable relative to the second section of the top wall and the first section of the bottom wall is pivotable relative to the second section of the bottom wall. A spring assembly is configured to be positioned within the interior cavity.

A wool mattress set includes a receiving mattress including a wool filling enclosed in a first envelope, combined with a base mattress comprising a foam filling enclosed in a second envelope. The wool filling of the receiving mattress includes a stack of one or more superposed wool mat layers, essentially devoid of wool flakes, and the receiving mattress is laid on the base mattress, the receiving mattress and the base mattress being independent and separable from each other. The foam filling of the base mattress, whose density is at least 35 kg/m.sup.3, can include in particular a material originating from foam recycling.
