A weighted blanket with outer fabric layers and an inner layer comprising a continuous sheet of material may be formed from a core material comprising a polymer material and a filler material. The inner layer may include a plurality of ventilation apertures spaced that extend through the inner layer or may be a solid sheet.

A system for securing an internal padding element of a doona to conform with the extent of a sheath or cover of the doona; the system including providing fastening means at least proximate the respective four corners of the internal padding element and the sheath or cover of the doona; the fastening means comprising a first component and a second component arranged for releasable coupling one to the other; each first and second component provided with attachment means for securing respective components to the padding element and to the cover of the doona.

Apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for quilting webs without compressing the webs. A quilting machine includes a needle bar to which needles are attached, needle thread passing through each needle, a looper shaft to which loopers are attached, a looper corresponding to each needle and from which looper thread is provided to form stitches, and a retainer bar to which spreaders are attached to facilitate stitching. A drive pulley powered by a first servo motor rotates cranks to move the needles through a cycle and rotates a belt which rotates an indexer pulley. Rotation of the indexer pulley oscillates the looper shaft and reciprocates the retainer bar. Another drive pulley powered by a second servo motor operates to move an input web through the machine between chain stitches.

This invention describes a 3-layer insulation material (10) comprising a first fabric layer (12), a second fabric layer (14) and a third fluted intermediate fabric layer (16) between the first and the second fabric layers (12, 14), the fluted intermediate fabric layer (16) being attached alternately to the first and the second fabric layer (12, 14) with longitudinal seams (18a-18n) forming longitudinal channels (20a-20n) for the insulation material (22) having individual insulation material (22) bundle in-side each longitudinal channel (20a-20n). Also disclosed are a method and an arrangement for producing the same.

Disclosed is a weighted material that is configured to effectuate deep pressure therapy to a person when a piece of the weighted material is used as a blanket over the person's body. A length of layered yarn is interlooped to form the piece of weighted material. The layered yarn includes an outer tube extending longitudinally from a first end to a second end. The outer tube defines a conduit extending longitudinally therethrough from the first end to the second end. A plurality of inner layers of material are disposed within the conduit and extend longitudinally from the first end to the second end. The interlooped length of yarn, by itself, is configured and sufficiently weighted to effectuate deep pressure therapy to a person when the blanket lies over the person's body. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.

The present invention introduces a non-contacting or tent-like comforter, which has one or more air gaps between parts of the user's body and the comforter portions right above said parts of the user's body when the comforter is in use, and at least part of the weight of the comforter body is not directly supported by the user or the bed. The invention also introduces a process that creates one or more air gaps between parts of the user's body and the comforter portions right above said parts of the user's body, and at least part of the weight of the comforter body is not directly supported by the user or the bed.

A bed covering system including one or more bed coverings including a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and a blanket or comforter. The blanket or comforter bed coverings may each include a slit opening at a foot end of the bed covering. Each slit opening is covered by a flap in a closed position. A magnetic closure device is integrated in the blanket or comforter for maintaining each flap in a closed position when no force is applied to the opening and for releasing the flap when force is applied to the opening.

A textile product and a method for manufacturing thereof are discussed. The textile product comprises about 5-95% natural down clusters by weight and about 95-5% of a secondary fiber material by weight. The method for manufacturing the textile product includes opening a fiber material, adding natural down clusters to the fiber material, mixing the fiber material with the natural down clusters to form a homogeneous mixture, and filling the textile product with the homogeneous mixture.

A comforter comprising at least a top and a bottom outer shell fabric panels joined together about their peripheral edges and interiorly to form at least a first portion filled with a first filling material comprising down or a down-like material, and a second portion filled with a second filling material comprising a non-down or non-down-like material, where the first portion and the second portion are segregated. In various embodiments, the first portion comprises a central area of the comforter and the second portion comprises a peripheral area of the comforter.

Duvet inserts are provided with at least two chamfered or beveled corners to prevent overhanging of the corners. Additional drag caused by the overhanging corners and frequent handling of duvet inserts by the corners causes migration of fillers contained therein and this is mitigated by the chamfered corners. Again, sectional barriers, preferably by stitching zigzag, waves or triangle wave stitches along the periphery of duvet inserts are capable of minimizing migration of fillers. Furthermore, quilted or line stitches on at least two corners can also be provided to contain the fillers. Duvet inserts of the present disclosure are durable and chamfered corners provide a neat and tailored look thereby enhancing bed presentation and also avert accidents such as tripping over the overhanging portion.
