A bedding system, method and kit for the automation and ventilation of an existing duvet are disclosed. The system has an inflatable lining configured to be inserted and affixed into a cover together with the duvet, the inflatable lining comprising a network of pneumatic chambers defining a plurality of openings extending through the lining allowing air to circulate through the lining; and an air blower operatively connected to the inflatable lining for blowing air into the network of pneumatic chambers, so as in use, the inflatable lining is inflated to allow for the duvet and its cover to be straightened back into position after every use of the bed. The system can also include a sub-network for providing warm or cold air to control the temperature of the bedding. In contrast to traditional systems, the proposed invention is light weight and easily adaptable to current commercially available beds.

A bed and frame assembly includes a box that is positionable on a horizontal support surface. A pair of tracks is each of the tracks is removably disposed on the box. A lid is slidably disposed on the box for supporting a mattress. The lid is positionable in a first position to close the box or a second position to facilitate sheets on the mattress to be changed. A plurality of roller units is each disposed on the lid and rollably engages a respective one of the tracks to facilitate the lid to be rolled between the first position and the second position. A sliding unit is integrated into the box and the sliding unit is in mechanical communication with the lid. The sliding unit is actuatable in a closing condition for sliding the lid into the first position and the sliding unit is actuatable in an opening condition for sliding the lid into the second position.

Levitation devices are disclosed for use with beds. In one embodiment, the levitation device is configured to facilitate rotation of a mattress with respect to a box spring. In another embodiment, the levitation device is configured to facilitate making a bed which allows sheets and blankets to be tucked between the mattress and the box spring without the need to lift the mattress. In a third embodiment, the levitation device functions as a hybrid device and can be used for making a bed or rotating a mattress.

Bedding device unfolds and straightens bedding on a bed and which is simple in construction, easy to operate by physically weak users, sturdy during operation and angularly adjustable. Bedding device includes an actuator unit, a pair of immovable supports, horizontal adjusters, vertical adjusters, angle adjusters, bedding handlers and a plurality of clamps. Actuator unit is positioned at the base of bed and is connected with an actuating switch positioned nearby the user to be operable by hands or legs. Immovable supports enable sturdy operations. Horizontal adjusters and vertical adjusters adjust bedding handlers in accordance with the size of bed. Angle adjusters angularly adjust bedding handlers so that bedding handlers are in-line with the mattress in an inclined configuration. Bedding handlers have clamps that hold bedding and when actuated by user through actuating unit, bedding handlers unfolds and straightens bedding on mattress of bed.

An apparatus and a method for automatically making a bed includes a sheet holder suspended from a sheet holder support, a head-end duvet cover holder suspended from a head-end duvet cover holder support, a foot-end duvet cover holder suspended from a foot-end duvet cover holder support, a duvet holder suspended from a duvet holder support, a plurality of connectors on each of the sheet holder, the head-end duvet cover holder, the foot-end duvet cover holder, and the duvet holder, the connectors adapted to be connected to mating connectors on a sheet, a head-end of a duvet cover, a foot end of the duvet cover, and a duvet, respectively, and a framework upon which the sheet holder support, the head-end duvet cover holder support, the foot-end duvet cover holder support, and the duvet holder support are mounted. A sheet, duvet and duvet cover are manually attached to the holders, the duvet is automatically inserted into the duvet cover, and the sheet and the duvet are draped over the bed.

A passive adjustable frame acts as an edge “spacer” around the peripheral bottom edge of the mattress positioned between the bottom of the mattress and an underlying support, such as a box spring, slats, platform etc. The spacer has an angled upper surface which creates a gap into which bedding may be more easily tucked without lifting the mattress. The spacer may be adjustable in length and width so that the peripheral length and width dimensions that are roughly the same size as the mattress with which the frame is being used and it is thus universally adaptable to multiple different standard mattress sizes.

Bedmaking tools are disclosed. Methods of making and using bedmaking tools are also disclosed.

An apparatus comprises a mattress. An underpad is positioned on the mattress such that a lower surface of the underpad is in contact with the mattress. A securing assembly is interposed between the mattress and the underpad. The securing assembly comprises a plurality of securing member positioned on the lower surface of the underpad, and a plurality of mating securing members positioned on the mattress. Each of the plurality of securing members engages a corresponding mating securing member so as to be removably coupled thereto, thereby immovably positioning the underpad on the mattress.

A lift system comprises a plurality of bottom components, a plurality of top components structured to support a structure thereon, and a lifting assembly coupled to each of the plurality of bottom components and the plurality of top components. The lifting assembly comprises a plurality of lifting members configured to move the lifting assembly between a lowered configuration and a raised configuration, and a locking member coupled to a corresponding lifting member and configured to move between a locked position and an unlocked position in the raised and lowered configuration of the lifting assembly. A lock assembly is coupled to the lifting assembly and includes a lock/unlock member and a linking component coupling the lock/unlock member to the locking member. A release device is selectively engaged with the lock/unlock member by a user to activate the lock assembly for unlocking the locking member.

An active mattress encasement which can be relatively easily installed or removed or rotated over a mattress supported by a foundation is disclosed. The encasement is formed to encapsulate a mattress and may include a top panel, a bottom panel and multiple side panels. One or more of the side panels are zippered together, In one embodiment, the un-zippered side panels, i.e. side panels without zippers, fixedly connect the top and bottom portions of the side panels. In another embodiment, an inflatable volume is integrated into the bottom panel. Alternatively, the inflatable volume may be integrated with a separate detachable cover and attached to the bottom panel by conventional means. The top and bottom panels, as well as the side panels may be made from a conventional materials. The underside of the top panel and optionally the inside of the side panels may be coated with a waterproof coating, such as polyurethane (TPU/PU), silicone, and/or urethane to form a waterproof membrane. In accordance with an important aspect of one embodiment of the invention, an interior surface of the bottom panel is formed with a slick surface while the exterior surface of the bottom panel is integrated with an inflatable volume. The inflatable volume faces outwardly and is adapted to be in contact with the foundation or optional bed skirt. In this embodiment, the exterior surface of the bottom panel of the encasement is formed at least partially with a non-slick surface. The non-slick surface provides a frictional relationship between the exterior surface of the bottom panel of the encasement and the foundation or bed skirt while the encasement is being installed or removed over a mattress. The slick interior surface of the bottom panel allows a mattress to be rotated, installed, or removed, once the bottom panel is juxtaposed between the mattress and the foundation in an application in which the encasement is unzipped and the top panel is disposed on the floor adjacent one end of the mattress. Alternatively, a separate detachable cover may be used to allow the mattress to be relatively easily installed or removed or rotated with the encasement fully installed on the mattress. Optional straps may be provided, fixedly attached to the encasement, to allow the encasement to be snugged against the mattress. This enables the encasement to be used with a relatively wide range of mattress sizes and still provide a snug fit.
