A passive mattress encasement is disclosed which can be relatively easily installed or removed over a mattress supported by a foundation. The encasement is formed to encapsulate a mattress and includes a top panel, a bottom panel and multiple side panels. One or more of the side panels are zippered together. The unzippered side panels, i.e., the panels without zippers, fixedly connect the top panel to the bottom panel. The top and bottom panels as well as the side panels may be made from conventional materials. The underside of the top panel and optionally the inside of the side panels may be coated with a waterproof coating, such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU/PU), silicone, or urethane to form a waterproof membrane. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, the bottom panel is formed with a slick interior surface and a non-slick exterior surface. The exterior non-slick surface allows a mattress to be rotated without affecting an optional underlying bed skirt while the slick interior surface facilitates rotation of the mattress. The present invention also facilitates easy installation and removal of the encasement over a mattress. Optional straps may be provided, fixedly attached to the encasement. The straps allow the encasement to be snugged against the mattress to enable the encasement to be used with a relatively wide range of mattress depths perimeter lengths and still provide a snug fit.

A support surface including a cutout on a bottom surface of the support surface. The cutout, which can include a plurality of cutouts, provides a controlled structural collapse of the support surface by varying a stiffness in a cross-section. That is, the area in which the cutouts are positioned collapses more easily than the surrounding area of the support structure, thus making the area with the cutouts perceived as being softer. The cutouts can reduce the peak pressures on the portion of the user's body (for example, the user's ischial tuberosities) that is positioned over the cutouts. The support surface can also include a low-friction interface extending across a top surface of the support surface.

A mattress and an arrangement for altering a mattress' thickness or firmness, with an outer covering with a perimeter aligned with the perimeter of a mattress to be altered; an inner compressible material held within the covering; and a pocket is sized to accept a mattress insert, and wherein the pocket is attached on at least one side to a mattress.

The present invention provides a seat which reduces the load applied to a first fastening part, is unlikely to cause wrinkles or slack in a surface cover, and makes surface sheet attachment and detachment simple. To this end, a first fastening part and a second fastening part of a seat are attachable and detachable; hence, it is possible to easily exchange a surface cover according to the season and to clean the surface cover. The second fastening part attachably/detachably connects the surface cover and the rear-surface cover to one another. As a result, the second fastening part appropriately reduces the load directly applied to the first fastening part, making it possible to prevent damage to the first fastening part, and making it unlikely for wrinkles or slack to occur in the surface cover. Furthermore, the second fastening part is the same color and hue at each suspended section; hence, aligning the surface sheet position is easy.

A seat cover for a vehicle may include a lower or bench portion sized and configured to extend over a horizontally-oriented top of a bench of a vehicle seat. The lower portion may include a first section and a second section separated by a slit. The seat cover for the vehicle may also include an upper or backrest portion coupled to the lower portion. The upper portion may be sized and configured to extend upwardly over a backrest of the vehicle seat. The seat cover may be divided into vertical sections that correspond to the seats of a bench seat in a vehicle. One or more of the vertical sections may be removable to accommodate movement of the vehicle seats.

A cushion includes a cushion shell formed to define a fill receiving cavity and a cushion fill that resides within the fill receiving cavity. The cushion shell includes a shell upper surface, at least one shell side surface and a bottom surface. The shell upper surface is generally oriented parallel to a first plane. The shell upper surface does not include any seams and is fabricated from at least one water impervious material. The at least one shell side surface is generally oriented parallel to a second plane perpendicular to the first plane. The shell side surface is fabricated from the at least one water impervious material. The shell bottom surface is generally oriented parallel to the first plane. The shell bottom surface is fabricated from a water pervious material and is joined to the side surface along a bottom edge seam.

The present invention provides electrothermal mattress cover, electrothermal sleeping bag/mattress cover, and temperature control sleeping bag. The electrothermal mattress cover comprises a cloth cover and a heating sheet; the cloth cover at least covers or wraps the upper surface of the heating sheet; the cloth cover is provided with corner connecting pieces at its corners, for connecting the heating sheet; the heating sheet comprises a heating wire fixed within an interlayer between two adhesive tapes, and an outer cover wrapping the two adhesive tapes; the outgoing end of the heating wire goes through the tapes and the outer cover; the heating wire is bound to the outer cover by waterproof binding materials; and the outgoing end of the heating sheet is used for power connection.

A cover for beds includes a cover with a structural profiles formed by perimeter or otherwise rail aspects such as a top rail aspect, bottom rail aspect, lateral rail aspects, geometrically designed to create desired profiles and/or profiles that form its shape and design. Rails aspects may be made from plastic, foam and/or the like that change the shape and the design can be arranged to achieve desired functional objectives and may be designed to fit hospital bed, any mattress or child mattress. The cover is complemented by a material that may be removed, replaced and/or added to another material.

A bed covering system for inhibiting a bed from being disturbed when the bed is not used for sleeping includes a bed that may be slept upon and a plurality of pillows that are each selectively positioned on the bed. A cover is selectively positioned over the bed to inhibit debris from contacting the bed. The cover includes a flap that is positioned to cover the pillows when the cover is positioned over the bed.
