The present invention is directed to an improved fastening apparatus comprising a coil pin having a coil shape and a threaded pin receiver, said pin and fastener being releasably connectable by threading them together so that the coil and threads mesh. The coil pin may have a pointed end for penetrating fabric material of a duvet and duvet cover so that the fastening apparatus may secure the duvet and duvet cover together.

An inductive comforter has a comforter body and an inductive assembly. The inductive assembly is mounted on the comforter body and includes an inductive chip readable by a sensor. Therefore, as the inductive comforter is free from worn-off bar code or QR code, the inductive comforter will not become unreadable after use over a long time. Moreover, by using a sensor to read an inductive chip, no mechanical or optical contact between the sensor and the inductive chip is needed. Thus, the inductive chip is still readable even if the comforter has been folded and the chip has been covered. Therefore, the personnel's data-reading efficiency will be highly improved.

A composite material may comprise an inner layer and a knit structure. The inner layer may comprise a mesh material and may be configured to be disposed adjacent a body of a wearer. The knit structure may comprise a warp knit structure. The knit structure may comprise an outer layer. The outer layer may be spaced from the inner layer and disposed to define cavities between the inner layer and the outer layer. The knit structure may comprise spacers. The spacers may be disposed between the inner layer and the outer layer. The spacers may be configured in an alternating pattern with the cavities. Insulators may be disposed in the cavities. The spacers may be configured to control movement of the insulators.

A device for providing a blanket and a cushion which has a blanket, a cushion, and a pocket, which blanket has a bottom edge, which bottom edge of said blanket aligns with a bottom edge of the cushion, and where the pocket is formed by the intersection of the blanket and the cushion. The blanket further includes a plurality of fasteners arranged in a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth pair, which pairs allow for the securement of the blanket around a user's neck, torso, and arms.

A bedding system, method and kit for the automation and ventilation of an existing duvet are disclosed. The system has an inflatable lining configured to be inserted and affixed into a cover together with the duvet, the inflatable lining comprising a network of pneumatic chambers defining a plurality of openings extending through the lining allowing air to circulate through the lining; and an air blower operatively connected to the inflatable lining for blowing air into the network of pneumatic chambers, so as in use, the inflatable lining is inflated to allow for the duvet and its cover to be straightened back into position after every use of the bed. The system can also include a sub-network for providing warm or cold air to control the temperature of the bedding. In contrast to traditional systems, the proposed invention is light weight and easily adaptable to current commercially available beds.

The present invention relates to non-sewn down bedding including a partition wall provided with a unique non-sewn partition wall member and an edge portion finished to have a special structure, thereby greatly simplifying the bedding manufacturing process, reducing costs and improving productivity while inhibiting down from escaping through the edge portion. Therefore, the quality of a finished product may be very high. A non-sewn bedding item according to the present invention includes a bedding outer cover having an upper fabric and a lower fabric, the upper fabric and the lower fabric defining an inner space, a partition wall member configured to divide the inner space into a plurality of compartment spaces such that each of the compartment spaces is filled with down, the partition wall allowing air to flow between the compartment spaces and restricting movement of the down between the compartment spaces, and an edge finish portion formed at an edge of the bedding item to inhibit the down from escaping from each of the compartment spaces.

A quilt usable as a sleeping bag has inner and outer sets of fasteners arranged on slanted paths from each side edge to the bottom edge and fasteners along the bottom edge. The fasteners hold the quilt in a wrapped, overlapping arrangement. With the fasteners engaged, pulling a draw cord across the quilt bottom edge gathers the bottom edge and forms a closed, wrapped footbox of the sleeping bag. A sheet for use with a sleeping bag quilt include two sets of fasteners arranged to engage corresponding fasteners on the quilt to attach the quilt to the sheet in an expanded-footbox arrangement. Pulling a draw cord across the quilt bottom edge gathers the bottom edge and forms a closed, expanded footbox of the sleeping bag.

A weighted blanket that includes: a first side; a second side; a series of channels along a length or a width of the blanket; at least one weighted panel adapted for placement in one of the series of channels; and a means to seal each channel adapted to secure a weighted panel within each respective channel. The first side and second side both preferably include a zipper or hook and loop connector along the length thereof. Each weighted panel may further include a means to seal at each end of the weighted panel.

Cushioning material comprising a microcoil sheet and a surface cover material, the microcoil sheet comprising an array of wire springs held between two layers of fabric, the layers of fabric being joined together to form discrete spring-containing pockets; wherein the cover material is fastened to the microcoil sheet by one or more seams. Also provided is a cushioned or upholstered article (such as a mattress, mattress topper, seat, chair or loose cushion) comprising cushioning material according to any preceding claim. Also provided is a method of manufacturing cushioning material) comprising a microcoil sheet and a surface cover material, the microcoil sheet comprising an array of wire springs held between two layers of fabric, the layers of fabric having been joined together to form discrete spring-containing pockets; the method comprising fastening the cover material to the microcoil sheet by one or more seams.

A quilt has an inner surface, an outer surface opposed to the inner surface, a top edge, a bottom edge, a first lateral edge, and a second lateral edge spaced from the first lateral edge. The quilt includes a first set of one or more lateral fastener elements extending along the first lateral edge and a second set of one or more lateral fastener elements extending along the second lateral edge adapted for selective engagement and disengagement with each other. A bottom corner of the first lateral edge is folded over a bottom corner of the second lateral edge to form the footbox.
