The present invention relates to a mattress cover, and more in particular a knitted mattress cover, comprising: a top panel, at least one side panel, and at least one tape edge connecting the top panel with the at least one side panel, wherein the top panel, the at least one side panel and the at least one tape edge are integrated into a seamless, one-piece knit. The invention further relates to mattress comprising such a mattress cover and a method for manufacturing a knitted mattress cover according to the invention.

A mattress cover includes a bottom panel, a top panel, a fixed side panel joined to the bottom panel and an expansion side panel joined to the fixed side panel and to the top panel. A fully separable expansion closure has a first part at an expansion panel upper edge and a second part at an expansion panel lower edge. When the expansion panel closure parts are engaged, the expansion panel is in an unexpanded state to define a first interior volume of the cover and the cover accommodates mattresses of a height in a first range of heights. When the expansion panel closure parts are disengaged, the expansion panel is in an expanded state to define a second interior volume of the cover larger than the first interior volume, and the mattress cover accommodates mattresses of a height in a second range of heights larger than the first range of heights.

An active mattress encasement which can be relatively easily installed or removed or rotated over a mattress supported by a foundation is disclosed. The encasement is formed to encapsulate a mattress and may include a top panel, a bottom panel and multiple side panels. One or more of the side panels are zippered together, In one embodiment, the un-zippered side panels, i.e. side panels without zippers, fixedly connect the top and bottom portions of the side panels. In another embodiment, an inflatable volume is integrated into the bottom panel. Alternatively, the inflatable volume may be integrated with a separate detachable cover and attached to the bottom panel by conventional means. The top and bottom panels, as well as the side panels may be made from a 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 polyurethane (TPU/PU), silicone, and/or urethane to form a waterproof membrane. In accordance with an important aspect of one embodiment of the invention, an interior surface of the bottom panel is formed with a slick surface while the exterior surface of the bottom panel is integrated with an inflatable volume. The inflatable volume faces outwardly and is adapted to be in contact with the foundation or optional bed skirt. In this embodiment, the exterior surface of the bottom panel of the encasement is formed at least partially with a non-slick surface. The non-slick surface provides a frictional relationship between the exterior surface of the bottom panel of the encasement and the foundation or bed skirt while the encasement is being installed or removed over a mattress. The slick interior surface of the bottom panel allows a mattress to be rotated, installed, or removed, once the bottom panel is juxtaposed between the mattress and the foundation in an application in which the encasement is unzipped and the top panel is disposed on the floor adjacent one end of the mattress. Alternatively, a separate detachable cover may be used to allow the mattress to be relatively easily installed or removed or rotated with the encasement fully installed on the mattress. Optional straps may be provided, fixedly attached to the encasement, to allow the encasement to be snugged against the mattress. This enables the encasement to be used with a relatively wide range of mattress sizes and still provide a snug fit.

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 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.

A portable cushion system includes a superior cushion section configured for placement under the user's head and upper torso, a midsection cushion section configured for placement under the user's seat and lower back, a proximal inferior cushion section configured for placement under the user's upper legs, a distal inferior cushion section configured for placement under the user's lower legs, two straps coupled on one end to the superior cushion section, two fastener terminals located on the distal inferior cushion section, and configured for fastening to the straps, and wherein when the superior, midsection, proximal inferior, and distal inferior cushion sections are folded, the straps are configured for use as shoulder straps for securing and transporting the system.

Bedding components generally include a desiccant applied or infused into a selected bedding component. The desiccant can be microencapsulated, applied as a topical solution, and/or provided within a container including a moisture permeable membrane.

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.
