A tuck sheet in the form of a pocket closed at one end and open at an opposite end to receive a mattress or the like can comprise at least one fastener which is fastenable in at least two different positions to adjust a level of pressure exerted by the tuck sheet and/or wherein a first side of the pocket and a second side of the pocket can be of a different weightings, thicknesses, materials, compositions and/or tog ratings.

A woven textile fabric that is lightweight, soft, smooth, supple and durable has a composition including a regenerated cellulosic fiber, cotton and an elastane fiber such as spandex. The fabric includes warp yarn and weft yarn, and the weft yarn is a core spun yarn made of an elastane fiber core surrounded by a sheath of blended regenerated cellulosic fiber and cotton. The fabric construction may range from about 44 ends/inch to about 300 ends/inch and from about 30 picks/inch to about 600 picks/inch. The warp count may range from 2 s count to 140 s count, and the weft count ranges from 2 s count to 170 s count. The fabric, which can be made using a series of innovative process steps, is particularly useful as a bed linen.

A bedsheet and/or blanket having a stress relieving squeezable element releasably secured to an edge of a bedsheet, blanket or pillow case for use in achieving stress relief, and thereby promoting restful sleep by squeezing and releasing the squeezable element. In a preferred embodiment the is place in a fabric pocket for releasable attachment to the bedsheet, blanket or pillow case by a flexible strap. The squeezable element is formed from rubber or a polymer gel.

The present invention relates to heatable garments (1), comprising a garment body (3) and a heating pad (5) adhered to at least a portion of the garment body (3), wherein the heating pad (5) 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.

A three-layer circular knitted jacquard fabric includes a first layer having a yarn made from a first material. A second layer of the fabric includes a yarn made from a second material. A third layer of the fabric includes a yarn made from a third material. At least one of the materials includes ultra-high weight molecular polyethylene. The second layer is positioned between the first layer and the third layer such that the second layer provides loft between the first layer and the third layer.

A method includes forming a multi-pick yarn package through winding multiple oriented yarns onto a spool. The multiple oriented yarns serve as weft yarns forming adjacent substantially parallel yarns wound together, and each of the multiple oriented yarns is formed through drawing each of multiple synthetic yarns from a corresponding supply package. The method also includes simultaneously inserting the weft yarns in a single pick insertion event of a pick insertion apparatus of a loom apparatus in which the simultaneously inserted weft yarns are to be conveyed through a set of warp yarns to produce an incremental length of a woven textile fabric.

The present invention describes methods and product for protection against microbial colonization associated with the use of hygienic products, such as diapers, bandages, sanitary napkins, tampons, gowns, facemasks, table covers, and the like, through significantly minimizing, inhibiting, or preventing microbial colonization in the hygienic product material. The present invention provides for using a hygienic product containing at least one inner layer of its composition that is integrated with an effective amount of natural, viable, non-pathogenic, antimicrobial, Terpinen-4-ol, for inhibiting the growth and multiplication of microorganisms. The method used for integrating the natural antimicrobial product, the Terpinen-4-ol, to the selected sanitary product layer utilizes, amongst others, a nanotechnology process.

A bedding for couples that is separated into two different sections, each section associated with one of the two opposing sides of the bedding, each section having independent design attributes. In certain embodiments, the two adjacent sections may represent juxtaposed indicia, such as opposing gender motifs, rivalrous sports emblems, contrasting appearances, or the like.

Stretchable bedding components reconfigurable between a neutral or retracted configuration and an expanded configuration. In example embodiments, fabric is cut and sewn to form one or more bedding components with at least some dimensions being about 5%-30% less than those of conventional or traditional bedding components. In example embodiments, the length and/or width of the bedding component is expandable between about 5%-30%. In example embodiments, the stretchable bedding components include a biocomponent yarn having a helical structure that imparts elasticity therein so as to permit stretching of the one or more bedding components.

In accordance with embodiments of the invention, a bedding ensemble is provided. The bedding ensemble includes a comforter assembly including a comforter having a head end opposite a foot end, a top side opposite an underside, and an elastomeric comforter anchor portion attached to the underside of the comforter operable to securely attach to a mattress. The bedding ensemble further includes a top sheet having a flat portion operable to extend across a head end of a mattress and extend down sides of a head end of a mattress and an elastomeric top sheet anchor portion attached to the flat portion, the elastomeric anchor portion operable to securely attach to a foot end of a mattress. The elastomeric comforter anchor portion is operable to envelope the elastomeric top sheet anchor portion and a mattress when the top sheet is securely attached to a mattress.
