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 motorized bed has a base frame and an articulating frame. A mattress backing is supported by the articulating frame. A vibration motor mounted to the articulating frame by a vibration motor mount. A flexible bracket is fixed to a lower surface of the articulating frame and the vibration motor such that the vibration motor is suspended from the lower surface of the articulating frame.

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 bed sheet is provided that includes a knitted performance fabric having a plurality of spaced apart ventilation ports. The knitted performance fabric has a gauge per square inch, grams per square meter, air permeability and material content that are pre-selected to provide the knitted performance fabric with one or more selected physical features.

A cover for beds includes a cover with a structural profiles formed by perimeter or otherwise rail aspects such as a top rail aspect, bottom rail aspect, lateral rail aspects, geometrically designed to create desired profiles and/or profiles that form its shape and design. Rails aspects may be made from plastic, foam and/or the like that change the shape and the design can be arranged to achieve desired functional objectives and may be designed to fit hospital bed, any mattress or child mattress. The cover is complemented by a material that may be removed, replaced and/or added to another material.

Example split bedding systems include a first sheet section comprising a first side portion and a first end portion and a second sheet section comprising a second side portion and a second end portion. The first end portion having a first tuck flap region extending between opposing notched-out corners, and the second end portion having a second tuck flap region between opposing notched-out corners. The first side portion of the first sheet section overlaps with the second side portion of the second sheet section. Part of the first tuck flap region and part of the second tuck flap region are attached via an attachment system to form a joined sheet.

A bedsheet having a stress relieving foam insert around a sewn edge. The foam insert is preferably constructed from closed-cell polyurethane foam rubber and may include a fluid bladder when the foam insert is formed for segments. The fluid bladder for use in enlarging the foam inserts, and may include reed apertures positioned between segments wherein audible sounds are created when fluid is transferred between segments. The squeezing of the foam inserts providing stress relief to an individual and promoting restful sleep. The foam inserts attached to bedsheet to prevent misplacement.

A mattress topper is provided that includes opposite first and second end surfaces. The end surfaces each extend from a first side surface to a second side surface. The mattress topper includes a plurality of rows. Each of the rows include a quilting pattern defining a first pocket that extends from the first side surface to the second side surface, a second pocket that is enclosed within the first pocket and a third pocket that is enclosed within the second pocket.

Disclosed are a method and/or a system of stitchless bedding. In one aspect, a bedsheet component includes a fabric having an angled corner area. A marginal border is folded to include a top marginal fold and a bottom marginal fold. The top marginal fold is aligned to be substantially parallel with the bottom marginal fold. An adhesive is inserted between the top marginal fold and the bottom marginal fold. A heat and/or a pressure is applied to the top marginal fold and/or the bottom marginal fold to soften the adhesive. The adhesive further permeates a portion of the top marginal fold and a portion of the bottom marginal fold. The top marginal fold and the bottom marginal fold are held together as a single, complete flexible unit when the adhesive is cured.

Provided are fabrics and lifting devices that are high performance and skin friendly, for patient care, including as bed linens upon which a patient may sleep and/or rest, as well as patient slings for lifting and/or repositioning a patient.
