Passive mattress encasement
A passive mattress 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 un-zippered side panels fixedly connect the top panel to the bottom panel. The underside of the top panel and optionally the inside of the side panels may be coated with a waterproof coating to form a waterproof membrane. The encasement is configured to facilitate rotation of the 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 sizes and still provide a snug fit.
BED SHEET WITH AN INTEGRATED BODY POSITIONER
Implementations of a bed sheet with an integrated body positioner are provided. In some implementations, the integrated body positioner of the bed sheet may be padded and act as a pillow for the whole body. In some implementations, the bed sheet may comprise a sheet having an integrated body positioner. In some implementations, the body positioner may comprise a head portion, a torso portion, a first leg portion, a second leg portion, a first arm portion, and a second arm portion. In some implementations, the body positioner may further comprise a padded bumper positioned about the head portion. In some implementations, the integrated body positioner may not include leg portions and may further comprise an elevating foot portion. In some implementations, the elevating foot portion may be padded and configured to act as a pillow for a user's feet and/or ankles.
Method for forming a non-woven recyclable fabric
A nonwoven recyclable fabric and associated methods are provided. The fabric is formed from 100% polyester, and may also include surface coatings such as hydrophilic coatings to promote heat transfer as well moisture vapor transmission rates and/or a silicone coating to promote fabric smoothness and reduce abrasiveness of the fabric.
Bed bug protection device
A bed covering device for protecting humans, animals and objects from crawling pests such as bed bugs. The device includes a top component for contacting the top surface of bedding such as a mattress or box spring. The top component includes barrier material suitable for preventing pests from biting humans or animals resting on the bedding. The device further includes a fitted side skirt joined to the periphery of the top component and having a slippery, i.e., low friction, exterior surface that hinders bed bugs and similar pests from climbing up the covered bedding and gaining access to humans, animals, or objects resting atop the bedding. The device may be part of a system including pillow protectors, headboard and/or footboard protectors for preventing contact by traditional bed coverings with walls or bed structures that may be infested by bed bugs.
Encasement for preventing bed bug escapement via a zipper opening
The present technology provides an encasement comprising a fabric cover formed of bed bug impervious fabric. The encasement comprises an opening with a zipper mechanism disposed therein and operable to close the opening. The encasement also comprises a barrier attached to the fabric cover, extending along and opposite the zipper tracks. The encasement also comprises a channel between the barrier and said zipper tracks that receives a portion of the zipper head and becomes an enclosed channel when said zipper tracks are mated together. The channel has a confined space of a size to thwart bug movement along the channel.
PERFORMANCE BED SHEETS
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.
PROTECTIVE SLEEPING BAG
A sleeping bag for an isolated and hygienic sleeping environment. The sleeping bag having a proximal end and a distal end. The sleeping bag includes a base sheet that extends along the length of the sleeping bag. The proximal end of the sleeping bag is configured as a pillow housing having an opening for receiving a pillow. A top sheet extends from the distal end up to near the pillow housing forming a bag. a cover sheet that extends from the top sheet and folds over the top sheet. Corners of the cover sheet can have a fastener that can be coupled to opposite side edges of the base sheet. A pouch coupled to the distal end such as the sleeping bag can be rolled into the pouch.
Textile fabric fabricated of twill weave sheeting
The present disclosure relates to a new and improved textile fabric fabricated of twill weave sheeting that has excellent wrinkle resisting characteristics, improved softness and durability over the sheeting fabrics currently being manufactured, enhanced aesthetic appeal, economy in cost of manufacture and other desirable characteristics. The textile fabric of the present disclosure can be formed of warp and weft yarns of twill weave construction wherein each of the warp yarns can be made of a natural material and each of the weft yarns can be made of a synthetic material. In an embodiment, the twill weave sheeting can have warp yarn and weft yarn, wherein the warp yarn and the weft yarn being a cross weave of cotton and polyester.
Heatable Garment, Fabrics for Such Garments, and Methods of Manufacture
The present invention relates to heatable garments, comprising a garment body and a heating pad adhered to at least a portion of the garment body, wherein the heating pad comprises graphene particles dispersed in a polymer matrix material. The invention also provides fabrics for making such garments, and methods of making such garments and fabrics. Also provided are heatable bedding incorporating a heating pad as described above.
BED COVERING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE
A bed covering system prevents sheets or other bed linens from being displaced while a bed is slept or rested in. A first layer such as a fitted sheet is attached to a second layer such as a flat sheet along the bottom edge and prevents the displacement of the first layer with respect to the second layer.
