A cover for an infant confining device having a bottom, four sides, and an open top is described. The cover includes a body formed of a dark stretchable material and having at least one side with a top and bottom portion. The body is configured to stretch around the four sides of the infant confining device such that the top portion extends over the open top and the bottom portion extends to the bottom. The cover includes a roof flap of dark non-stretchable material with four sides. One side of the roof flap is coupled with the top portion of the body while the rest are unattached and larger than the infant confining device. The unattached sides of the roof flap drape over the top portion of the at least one side of the body and respective sides of the infant confining device.

A mattress cover, comprising a top layer; a first side layer comprising a first air-impermeable portion, a first air-permeable portion, a first air-impermeable flap, and first affixing apparatus, wherein the first affixing apparatus is configured to reversibly affix the first air-impermeable flap over the first air-permeable portion; a second side layer comprising a second air-impermeable portion, a second air-permeable portion, a second air-impermeable flap, and second affixing apparatus, wherein the second affixing apparatus is configured to reversibly affix the second air-impermeable flap over the second air-permeable portion; a head layer; and a foot layer.

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 method for making a bed having a mattress is disclosed. The method includes permanently attaching a mattress assembly to the mattress, removably attaching a sheet assembly to the mattress assembly, the sheet assembly including a first sheet member, which includes a fluid barrier layer, and a second sheet member, and blocking fluid using the fluid barrier layer from moving from the sheet assembly to the mattress assembly when the sheet assembly is removably attached to the mattress assembly.

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.

A mattress or mattress topper includes a cushioning element having an elastomeric material forming intersecting buckling walls that define hollow columns, and a knitted fabric disposed over the cushioning element and configured to move independently of the buckling walls. The elastomeric material includes an elastomeric polymer and a plasticizer. The knitted fabric includes a first layer of stretchable material; a second layer of stretchable material; and a layer of stretchable fill material between the first layer of stretchable material and the second layer of stretchable material. The first layer of stretchable material is knitted together with the second layer of stretchable material as a unitary sheet of fabric including the layer of stretchable fill material. A method of forming a mattress or mattress topper includes disposing a knitted fabric over a cushioning element comprising intersecting buckling walls and configuring the knitted fabric to move independently of the buckling walls.

Methods and apparatus for creating furniture protection which may be easily installed and removed are disclosed. The stored furniture protection may be designed to function as decorative items for the furniture such as pillows, bolsters and the like. In some examples, the stored furniture protection may take a form as a pillow and then when unfolded may form a lightweight impermeable cover for the furniture.

A bleach compatible mattress cover made of a non-woven polyolefin material and defining an interior cavity. The interior cavity configured to receive a mattress structure which may include a first and second support structure disposed in the interior cavity. In certain embodiments, the mattress cover has a Moisture Vapor Transfer Rate of greater than or equal 400 to less than 10,000, 7500 or more particularly less than 5000 grams per square meter per day and a hydrostatic head of 100 cm or greater and passes ASTM 1670 and ASTM 1671.
