Modular Panel Bedding System
20220347426 · 2022-11-03 ·

The present disclosure is directed to a bedding panel system comprising a bottom or fitted sheet with embedded channels throughout such that at least one or more modular top panels and cushions can be attached to create physical sleep chamber spaces and thus independent “sleep zones” for multiple occupants on a single mattress. A bedding panel system can have dimensions to fit any size mattress. Fitted sheet, modular panels and cushions can include several layered components, each with comfort or utility features for each sleep chamber space. Top and bottom layers of fitted sheet and modular panels may be comprised of various fabrics and materials desirable for sleep comfort. Middle layers of fitted sheet and modular panels can include items such as foam or gel padding, moisture resistant barriers, biometric sensors for measuring physical health and sleep quality, and hardware for heating and cooling. Customized foot panels with specialized materials and electronic components can also be attached to fitted sheet for elevated comfort in the foot box. Bedding panel system components can be embedded with channels, arranged in crisscross and diagonal patterns, containing reinforced holes spaced symmetrically throughout to accommodate different configurations for modular panel and cushion installations. Anchor systems can include a variety of material and hardware combinations to enable ease of component connections, sleep comfort, and convenience of occupant access to sleep zones. Similar to modular panel configurations, anchors allow cushions, pillows, pillow cases and similar headrests designed for the head box section to remain connected to fitted sheet to ensure sleep materials remain intact and in place for the duration of the occupants sleep session.
