A cover for a cushioning element, such as a pillow, volume adjustable. The cover includes one or more gathering elements that can alter a length and a volume of the cover. Each gathering element may extend around an end of the cover (e.g., circumferentially, helically around a circumference of the cover, etc.). Each gathering element may enable adjustment of the length and volume of the cover in extremely small increments or even continuously (i.e., in micro adjustments). The length and volume of the cover may be adjusted in a manner that limits or prevents migration of a cushioning element (e.g., an infill material, etc.) within the cover. A cushion, such as a pillow, may include a volume-adjustable cover with a cushioning element therein. Methods for adjusting the manner in which a cushioning element supports, molds around, underfills, and/or backfills a load and its form are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a wearable blanket usable as a blanket, a towel, a wrap, and worn fashionably as a skirt. The front and back fabric panels are trapezoids in shape. Pockets are formed by pocket bags that are positioned between the front and back fabric layers and aligned with seams in the front panel allowing a person to insert their hands into the pocket bags when wearing the wearable blanket. A stretchable belt tab is stretchable, has a hook-and-loop surface portion, and is fastened along an edge of the wearable blanket. A belt receiver has a hook-and-loop portion and is fastened to the front fabric panel. The belt receiver fastens with the stretchable belt tab in a stretched orientation. The recoil force of the stretchable belt tab pulls the top edge of the wearable blanket snuggly around the waist or torso of the person wearing the wearable blanket.

A duvet cover for housing an assembly includes a top fabric panel and a bottom fabric panel that together form a flexible fabric envelope for receiving the duvet, wherein head edges of the top fabric panel and the bottom fabric panel are joined together and may form a permanently closed head edge. Side edges of the top fabric panel and the bottom fabric panel and foot edges of the top fabric panel and the bottom fabric panel edges may be equipped with closable fastening devices to engage each other thereby defining at least three closable edges and a composite fabric panel that forms a second end pocket at a foot edge of the bottom fabric panel. The foot edge of the composite fabric panel is joined with the foot edge of the bottom fabric panel securing the duvet in place inside the duvet cover.

A bedding system can include a combination sheet and comforter. A sheet can be removably affixed to a comforter. Connecting the sheet and the comforter can be accomplished by the use of buttons, hook and loop fastener, ribbon, cloth ties, or hooks. A top side of the sheet can include an array of buttons in columns and rows. An amount of buttons can be adjusted based on an intended size of the bedding system. The comforter can include a plurality of buttonholes, where each of the buttonholes on the comforter corresponds to one of the buttons of the sheet. It should be appreciated that each of the buttons and the buttonholes can be disposed in various patterns, arrangements, or arrays so long as the pattern of the buttons of the sheet corresponds to the pattern of the buttonholes of the comforter.
