An encasement for protecting a household item from bug intrusion includes a fabric cover having an elongated opening with a first end location and a second end location, the fabric cover being of a size for receiving the household item in the interior of the cover, a zipper configured to seal the opening, a first inside securing member attached inside the fabric cover along a first edge of the elongated opening, the first inside securing member comprising hook or loop fasteners, a second inside securing member attached inside the fabric cover along a second edge of the elongated opening, the second inside securing member including hook or loop fasteners, and an inside patch comprising the other of the hook or loop fasteners, the inside patch configured to be attached to the first inside securing member and the second inside securing member when the zipper is closed.

A unitary sheet that is provided with a waterproof underside layer. The sheet is used to cover a mattress, changing pad or similar surface to be occupied by a baby or a child. The upper layer of the sheet is a fabric (e.g. cotton) that provides comfort to a baby or child resting on the sheet, and it also provides waterproofing so that spillage or other waste matter does not seep through the sheet and onto the underlying mattress.

A mattress and mattress cover assembly, comprising a mattress component, wherein the mattress component includes a first foam layer having a top side and a bottom side; and a second foam layer, wherein the second foam layer is attached to and extends widthwise and lengthwise across the bottom side of the first foam layer; and a covering completely enclosing the mattress component, wherein the covering includes at least one liquid-resistant layer, wherein the at least one liquid-resistant layer is an outer layer comprising elastic fibers; and at least one fire-retardant layer either attached to or formed integrally with the at least one liquid-resistant layer, wherein the at least one fire-retardant layer is an inner layer comprising fire-retardant fibers.

A pet bed including a base mattress including a cut-out is defined in a first layer, and a corresponding detent is defined in a second layer, and a water repellant outer covering surrounds the first layer and the second layer, and includes a water resistant section sewn into the water repellant outer covering which consists only of a portion of a surface of the water repellant outer covering corresponding to the cut-out, and a top coverlet configured to be removably connected to the base mattress to cover a top surface of the base mattress. The water resistant section of the water repellant outer covering is sized and positioned so as to extend into the cut-out and detent when the water repellant outer covering is in use and a heating or cooling unit is seated on the water resistant section to be flush with a top surface of the water repellant outer covering.

An encasement for protecting a household item from bug intrusion includes a fabric cover having an elongated opening with a first end location and a second end location, the fabric cover being of a size for receiving the household item in the interior of the cover, a zipper configured to seal the opening, a first inside securing member attached inside the fabric cover along a first edge of the elongated opening, the first inside securing member comprising hook or loop fasteners, a second inside securing member attached inside the fabric cover along a second edge of the elongated opening, the second inside securing member including hook or loop fasteners, and an inside patch comprising the other of the hook or loop fasteners, the inside patch configured to be attached to the first inside securing member and the second inside securing member when the zipper is closed.

A mattress protector completely encloses a mattress to preclude bed bugs from escaping. All of the interior surfaces of the protector are coated or laminated with a film laminate that is resistant to bed bug bites. A zipper extends partially around the circumference of the mattress protector so that when the zipper is opened an opening is provided allowing a mattress to be slid into the protector. The zipper is located next to the intersection between side walls and the bottom wall. A closure flap extends perpendicularly to the direction of extension of the zipper. The outer surface of the top wall is provided with a coating that renders the top surface waterproof while also providing anti-microbial properties and unique temperature regulation.

A cushion includes a cushion shell formed to define a fill receiving cavity and a cushion fill that resides within the fill receiving cavity. The cushion shell includes a shell upper surface, at least one shell side surface and a bottom surface. The shell upper surface is generally oriented parallel to a first plane. The shell upper surface does not include any seams and is fabricated from at least one water impervious material. The at least one shell side surface is generally oriented parallel to a second plane perpendicular to the first plane. The shell side surface is fabricated from the at least one water impervious material. The shell bottom surface is generally oriented parallel to the first plane. The shell bottom surface is fabricated from a water pervious material and is joined to the side surface along a bottom edge seam.

A combination mattress includes an elastic body, a bottom cover, longitudinal side covers, transverse side covers, and a pad body, where the bottom cover, longitudinal side covers and transverse covers are in sheet shape, the periphery of each of which is configured with a connecting element; the bottom periphery of the pad body is configured with a connecting element, and the upper edge thereof a shielding sheet. Upon assembly, the bottom cover, two longitudinal side covers and two transverse side covers are covered on the elastic element, and the pad body is placed on the elastic body to form a mattress. The detachable longitudinal side covers and transverse side covers are used to make the mattress have air permeability in different directions, and the detachable pad body allows the replacement thereof with a different type of pad body, thereby improving the practical value of the mattress.

The present invention is designed to allow for complete customization of a flexible item, e.g. a modular handbag system. The invention can therefore be outfitted for multi-uses, such as a personal handbag, diaper bag, backpack, insulated cooler, storage tote, satchel, laptop and work bag, or a gym bag among other uses, with handles or shoulder strap or other carrying options as applicable. Said bag system may comprise one or more outer bag shells which allow for straps and/or handles and/or modular attachments to be attached to it. An outer bag shell may house a modular inner bag outfitted with a series of fastener systems to allow for complete interior customization. Furthermore, the present invention describes a fully functional smart flexible item, e.g. smart bag that espouses a system for delivering power from a battery located in an outer bag shell, and/or in an inner bag, and/or in a modular attachment (e.g. pockets) to an outer bag shell, and/or an inner bag, and/or one or more modular attachments featuring technological components. Finally, the power delivery system can be applied to a variety of soft goods, most notably: clothing, outdoor gear, home furnishing covers, and personal accessories.
