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.

A bedding can be detachably attached to an exterior or interior surface of an apparel. The bedding may attach to the surface of the apparel or the bedding can be disposed in a pocket formed in, or as part of, the interior or exterior surface of the apparel. Alternatively, an apparel can be configured into a bedding. Alternatively, the apparel and a second apparel can detachably attach to one another to form a bedding.

A bed sheet is provided that includes top, side and end panels. Adjacent ends of the side and end panels are joined to form a seam at a corner of the sheet. The side and end panels each have a lower edge that is spaced apart from the top panel. At least one of the corners includes a power band having a first side that extends from a portion of the lower edge of one of the end panels to one of the seams. A second side of the power band extends from a portion of the lower edge of one of the side panels to the one of the seams. A third side of the power band extends from the portion of the lower edge of the one of the end panels to the portion of the lower edge of the one of the side panels.

A duvet insert includes a plurality of filler compartments for receiving filler material, a first edge including a first number of coupling mechanisms, and a second edge opposing the first edge such that the plurality of filler compartments is positioned between the first edge and the second edge. The second edge includes a second number of coupling mechanisms different than the first number. At least one of the first number of coupling mechanisms or at least one of the second number of coupling mechanisms enables the duvet insert to be coupled to another duvet insert to form a combined duvet insert.

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.
