Elastic thread lines can extend along borders of puckering areas of a fabric. The thread lines can include elastic thread line sections of the thread lines passing through thread line intersections and segments of the thread lines between the intersections. The elastic thread lines can bias the puckering areas in multiple different non-parallel directions toward a puckered configuration. In the puckered configuration, the puckering areas can be gathered together to pucker the fabric. The fabric can be stitched together to form a product, such as a sleeping bag sack that is stretchable in multiple orthogonal directions by stretching the thread lines. Elastic thread line sections passing through intersections can be made more secure by forming thread line section patterns that increase numbers of thread line crossings at the intersections. Densities of thread lines in different directions can be selected to produce different amounts of gathering, and for security.

A sleep garment for an infant may include an enclosure for enclosing the infant. The enclosure may include one or more accommodation features such as a support element to position under the legs of the infant to elevate the feet, a weight element to position over the infant, or both.

A portable bivouac sack configured to be self-deploy when released from its compact storage configuration. The bivouac sack comprises an elongated bag shell made of waterproof material with an elongated ground piece and a top panel. The sack is closed on one end, open at an opposite end, and configured to receive a sleeping bag. The top panel is shorter than the ground piece to form a transverse opening into the bag shell and a longitudinally aligned pan. Disposed over the pan is a self-deploying frame that folds into a compact circular configuration for storage and automatically unfolds and self-deploys when released to form an expanded frame. Attached to the frame is a flexible outer cover that expands with the frame to form a dome over the pan. The frame cover extends downward towards the pan and a sliding connector selective attaches the frame cover to the pan to provide egress and ingress to the protected area under the dome. An optional outer cover is provided that fits over the dome.

A new or alternative swaddling garment that swaddles infants by sufficiently restraining movement of the limbs to suppress the startle reflex, yet allowing movement of hand to mouth thereby facilitating non-nutritive sucking and allowing the infant to self-soothe by sucking the hands or the fabric of the garment.

Infant swaddling allows an infant to be comfortably and easily swaddled. The swaddling includes a pouch featuring a lower end that can be opened and closed to allow an infant's soiled diaper to be easily removed and replaced or to take a rectal temperature. The swaddling can include a blanket that comprises a first blanket flap and a second blanket flap and that can be removably attached to the pouch. The swaddle is used by placing one of the blanket flaps over the pouch, and then placing the other blanket flap over the pouch.

A sleeping bag comprising a bed sheet and a cover sheet secured together at a first end and at a portion of the sides to form a sleeping pocket. The bed sheet includes at least one of reversible pockets and a set of slits for securing the sleeping bag to a support. The cover sheet includes a reversible pocket at one end to secure the cover sheet in certain modes of operation. The sleeping bag further comprises a blanket sheet disposed between the bed sheet and a cover sheet to provide added comfort. The sleeping bag further comprises a holding member removably attached to at least one of the bed sheet and the cover sheet to support shoulders or lower body of a child such that the child is on the back while sleeping and the child is unable to slide entire body inside the sleeping pocket.

A combined sleeping bag and tent assembly includes a sleeping bag that has a pad pouch that is integrated into the sleeping bag. The sleeping bag has a pair of tent fasteners each extending along opposite sides of the sleeping bag. A pillow is removably attachable to the sleeping bag for sleeping. A sleeping pad is insertable into the pad pouch in the sleeping bag and the sleeping pad can be laid upon when sleeping in the sleeping bag. A tent is provided and a pair of sleeping bag fasteners is each integrated into the tent. Each of the sleeping bag fasteners releasably engages a respective one of the tent fasteners for releasably attaching the sleeping bag to the tent.

A fabric includes an inner layer, a metallized membrane disposed on the inner layer, and an outer layer disposed on the metallized membrane. The metallized membrane includes a base layer containing a polymer and a metal layer deposited on a first surface of the base layer. The inner layer is coupled to the metallized membrane via first point contacts, and the outer layer is coupled to the metallized membrane via second point contacts.

A foldable bed includes a first outer panel defining a length and a width, a middle panel hingedly coupled to the first outer panel along an inner edge of the first outer panel, the middle panel defining a length and a width, the middle panel defining a cut-out having a length and a width, and a second outer panel hingedly coupled to the middle panel opposite the first outer panel and along an inner edge of the second outer panel, the second outer panel defining a length and a width. Each of the first outer panel, the middle panel, and the second outer panel includes a rigid substrate with a cushion coupled thereto, and the panels are hingedly coupled by a webbing extending across a lower surface of the foldable bed.
