Disclosed is a weighted material that is configured to effectuate deep pressure therapy to a person when the weighted material is used as a blanket over the person's body. A length of layered yarn is interlooped to form the 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 fiber material is 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.

Presented herein is an article of bedding, which includes a body portion and a flap portion. The body portion includes a substantially elongated member configured to cover, or be covered by, at least a first portion of each of one or more users' bodies. The flap portion includes at least one other member configured to cover, or be covered by, at least a second portion of each user's body. For example, the flap portion can extend along a top portion of the user's body when the body portion extends along a bottom portion of the user's body. The flap portion defines one or more sets of one or more flaps, which may be selectively wrapped and unwrapped around at least part of the second portion of each user's body.

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 with comfort or utility features that are customizable for each sleep chamber space. Top, middle and bottom layers of fitted sheet, modular panels and cushions 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 panel compartments comprised of specialized materials and electronic components can also be attached to fitted sheet for elevated comfort in the foot box. Similar materials and cushion components may comprise headrest components designed for the head box sleep section. Bedding panel system components can be embedded with channels, arranged in cross, crisscross and diagonal patterns, containing reinforced holes spaced symmetrically throughout to accommodate different configurations for modular panel and cushion installations with one or more fitted sheets. Bedding panel system component may be fastened together using a variety of material and hardware anchor combinations to enable ease of component connections, sleep comfort, and convenience of occupant access to sleep zones. Similar to modular panel configurations, anchor systems allow cushions, pillows, pillow cases and headrests to connect with fitted sheet to ensure that all sleep components materials remain intact and in place for the duration of the occupants sleep session.

A mattress cover includes a fabric substrate having a top surface, a bottom surface, a head portion, a foot portion, a first length, and a first width, a secret tuck portion attached to the foot portion on the bottom surface of the fabric substrate, the secret tuck portion having a second length and a second width. The second width is less than the first width. A method of making a mattress cover includes providing a fabric substrate having a top surface, a bottom surface, a head portion, a foot portion, a first length, and a first width, and attaching a secret tuck portion to the foot portion on the bottom surface of the fabric substrate, the secret tuck portion having a second length and a second width. The second width is less than the first width.

A thermal insulating structure having insulation channels formed therein to receive insulation material, a movement channel extending along the insulation channels to disburse the insulation between the insulation channels and a storage channel to store insulation material not being used in the insulation channels. The movement channel, insulation channels and storage channel being integrally formed with each other while being partially obstructed from each other to maintain insulating material in the desired channels until moved to another one of the channels by a swiping or patting motion on the structure to provide a widely ranging temperature adjustable structure such as a sleeping bag, jacket, or comforter.

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.

The sleeping bag assembly may include a sleeping bag, one or more connecting portions, and a quilt. Advantageously, the quilt may be configured to drape over the top of the sleeping bag and cover the less insulated areas of the sleeping bag. The quilt may be configured to be coupled to the sleeping bag via the one or more connecting portions and the connecting portions may keep the quilt on top of the sleeping bag during use. The quilt may also be sized and configured to form a seal about a portion of the sleeping bag, which may increase heat retention and efficiency of the sleeping bag by covering the areas of the sleeping bag that are more susceptible to heat loss, including but not limited to areas that may lack insulation, where the insulation is compressed, and/or where the insulation is separated.

A bed comforter comprises a center section sized to cover a top side of a mattress, the center section including a first filling material with a first percentage of down; a first side section on a left side of the center section, the first side section configured to at least partially drop from a left side edge of the mattress, the first side section including a second filling material with feathers and a second percentage of down, the second percentage of down being less than the first percentage of down; and a second side section on a right side of the center section, the second side section configured to at least partially drop from a right side edge of the mattress, the second side section including the second filling material with feathers and the second percentage of down.

A simulated duvet cover system provides an easily-manufactured and assembled construction in which a cover layer, defined by top and bottom fabric sheets with pockets defined therebetween, is configured to be removably coupled to a separate fill layer, defined by a blanket or comforter. The bottom fabric sheet extends inwardly from the periphery of the top fabric sheet to surround a central opening, which the fill layer can be inserted through and then tucked into the pockets. A further backing layer may be connected to the cover layer with non-metallic and non-rigid fasteners such as fabric knot buttons, to cover the central opening. The system hides the appearance of the fill layer when in use, thereby providing a similar appearance to a conventional duvet cover, while still allowing for easy removal and cleaning of the system with industrial laundering equipment or the like.

A process for making a educational vestment and accessory including the steps of selecting a story from an educational literary work and choosing an accessory indicative of that literary work. Then printing text and imagery from the story onto an educational vestment and creating a chosen accessory that is manufactured and sold together or separately. A lighting device such as a glow ring is attached to one of the vestments using Velcro fasteners.
