Methods for stabilizing insulation and constructing garments from the insulation are disclosed. Methods include arranging the fibers into a plurality of bundle structures. The fibers may be synthetic fibers. The method may include receiving the bundle structures into bundle channels. The bundle channels are formed by tacks. The bundle channels enable the uniform distribution of the bundle structures prior to stitching quilting stitch lines. Multiple quilting stitch lines are stitched after the bundle structures are uniformly distributed. The quilting stitch lines are orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the bundle structures. The quilting stitch lines provide lateral as well as longitudinal stabilization of the uniform density of the bundle structures. The distance between the quilting stitch lines may be based on the loft of the fibers and/or a required durability of the garment. The quilting stitch lines are generally horizontal, while the longitudinal axis of the bundle structures are vertical.

A modular portable bedding system that emulates the home sleeping experience as much as possible, where users can easily remove or change different components to customize the system to optimize the sleeping experience for the environment they plan on using it in, while still allowing the user to easily transport the customized bedding system. The bedding system of the present invention may include four main components: a base shell, a sleeping pad, a sheet layer and an insulation layer, and in a more specific configuration, the bedding system of the present invention may have the base shell, the sleeping pad, a fitted sheet and a standard sheet in the sheet layer, a down quilt and synthetic quilt in the insulation layer and a top layer.

A sleeping bag system includes a sleeping bag body and a plurality of poles. The sleeping bag body includes one or more sleeves along perimeter edges thereof, and the plurality of poles interconnect to form a frame. The frame is positioned within the one or more sleeves of the bag body to prevent a twisting movement of the sleeping bag body during use. Each sleeve spans a majority of the respective perimeter edge and includes a tunnel that receives a pole of the frame.

The inventive subject matter generally relates to shaped battle constructs for use in consumer products, such as garments and sleeping bags. In certain aspects, the shaped baffles are arranged in a multi-level construction of baffles wherein the baffles are offset in two or more levels. In certain aspects, the entire construct is a unitary woven, seamless construction.

A closed cell foam sleeping pad has a foldable configuration and can be folded accordion style. The sleeping pad's top and bottom surfaces have a plurality of protrusions and a plurality of indentations, wherein the protrusions and indentations are arranged at different locations on different but adjacent foldable sections of the sleeping pad body such that when the pad is folded accordion style, the protrusions nest into the indentations perfectly to give the sleeping pad a smaller packing density while at the same time providing the protrusions for added user comfort.

A sleeping bag body includes one or more sleeves along a perimeter of the sleeping bag body and a plurality of poles that interconnect to form a frame. The frame is positioned within the one or more sleeves of the bag body to prevent a twisting movement of the bag body during use.

A sleeping bag that allows a user to comfortably sleep on their side without their sleeping bag twisting or otherwise hindering their ability to rest and sleep. The sleeping bag has an increased amount of insulation in one or more of the hip region, the shoulder region, and the footbox as compared to the torso region and the leg region. The sleeping bag may have two different types of insulation in the region having the increased amount of insulation versus one type of insulation in the other areas of the bag.

The bedding system of the present invention may include four main components: a base shell, a sleeping pad, a sheet layer and an insulation layer, and in a more specific configuration, the bedding system of the present invention may have the base shell, the sleeping pad, a fitted sheet and a standard sheet in the sheet layer, a down quilt and synthetic quilt in the insulation layer and a top layer.

A portable, lightweight, insulated, and heated storage device is provided. The heated storage device is movable between a closed condition adapted to maintain stored items therein at a predetermined temperature and an open condition for externally radiating heat. In one embodiment, the heated storage device may be a heating sack adapted to unfurl from the closed condition storing a sleeping bag or the like to the open condition as a flat, heated blanket, externally radiating heat.

A sleeping bag body includes one or more sleeves along a perimeter of the sleeping bag body and a plurality of poles that interconnect to form a frame. The frame is positioned within the one or more sleeves of the bag body to prevent a twisting movement of the bag body during use.
