Provided are protector articles, comprising: a plurality of sheets overlaid one to the next, the plurality of sheets comprising a bottommost sheet, a sheet comprising a comfort face and a barrier face, the comfort face comprising a biodegradable spunlace nonwoven material, the barrier face comprising a water-resistant biodegradable material, and at least one of the plurality of sheets being releasable (e.g., releasably attached) to the article. The articles can be used in bedding, apparel, and furniture.

A moisture control system includes a moisture control coverlet (10) and a fluid pump (18). The moisture control coverlet (10) includes a fluid pathway therein for moisture removal fluid. The fluid pump (18) is coupled to the fluid pathway for pumping fluid out of the fluid pathway by negative pressure at a fluid pump rate. The fluid pump rate can be adjustable and/or can be greater than 1 CFM.

Mattress assemblies are provided that include a mattress, a mattress overlay, and a mattress cover that is comprised of a first cover and a second cover. The first cover includes a top panel, a bottom panel, and a continuous side panel that collectively define a cavity and enclose the mattress. The mattress overlay is positioned atop the mattress and the first mattress cover. The second cover, which defines a perimeter, is positioned over and is dimensionally-sized to cover the mattress overlay and at least the top panel of the first cover. The second cover can then be connected to the first cover by a fastener that extends along the perimeter of the second cover.

An inflatable furniture design has a user-interfacing surface, such as the sleeping surface of an air mattress, which includes a breathable multilayer mesh which separates the user from the underlying air-impermeable sheet. The breathable mesh is made from a material such as 3D fabric, which is resiliently deformable while also allowing for airflow through and around the volume of the mesh material of the breathable interface material. When a person contacts the inflatable furniture, her or his body comes into direct contacts with the breathable mesh. The mesh then resiliently deforms such that airflow through and around the mesh is still permitted. This airflow allows heat and moisture from the user to dissipate through mesh of the breathable interface material. This, in turn, enhances the comfort of the breathable mesh, while also reducing the potential for the proliferation of bacteria and mites on the user-contacting surface.

A bedding includes: a cushion layer which is formed with a filament three-dimensional bonded member and which is breathable; a breathable water-repellent layer which is provided on the upper side of the cushion layer and which is breathable and water-repellent; and a breathable water-retentive layer which is provided on the upper side of the breathable water-repellent layer and which is water-retentive and is breathable during water retention.

A sleep system includes a ticking for a mattress, a bed cover, and a pillow cover. The ticking for a mattress is made of a first material. The ticking and the mattress together have a first set of temperature regulating performance-based properties associated therewith. The bed cover is made of the first material or of a second material having substantially the same temperature regulating performance-based properties as the first set of temperature regulating performance-based properties. The pillow cover is made of the first material, the second material, or of a third material having substantially the same temperature regulating performance-based properties as the first or second set of temperature regulating performance-based properties.

A support cushion assembly (10) suitable for use in medical institutions and the like. The assembly (10) comprises a profiled body with a waterproof washable cover containing a filling. The assembly has a first cushion part (12) locatable beneath the back of a person lying on their side, a connecting part (14) extends from the first cushion part (12) to a second elongate cushion part (16) which is locatable in use to support the person's abdomen and/or their legs.

A mattress topper is provided that includes a cover having opposing first and second panels each made from a first material. The mattress topper includes a gusset that either perimetrically joins the first and second panels and/or is in the form of one or more patches located on the first and/or second panels. The gusset is made from a second material that has a porosity that is different than that of the first material. A fill material is disposed within the cover.

A multifunction mat includes two outer fabric layers, a resin cotton layer, two non-woven fabric layers, an activated carbon filter layer and a breathable waterproof layer. The outer fabric layers are disposed on top and bottom surfaces of the multifunction mat respectively. The resin cotton layer is sandwiched between one outer fabric layer on the top surface and the non-woven fabric layer and is secured to one outer fabric layer. One non-woven fabric layer is sandwiched between the resin cotton layer and the activated carbon filter layer and the other non-woven fabric layer is sandwiched between the activated carbon filter layer and the breathable waterproof layer. The activated carbon filter layer is sandwiched between the non-woven fabric layers and is capable of destroying odors of air. The breathable waterproof layer is sandwiched between the other outer fabric layer on the bottom surface and the other non-woven fabric layer.

A mattress topper is provided that includes a cover having opposing first and second panels each made from a first material. The mattress topper includes a gusset that either perimetrically joins the first and second panels and/or is in the form of one or more patches located on the first and/or second panels. The gusset is made from a second material that has a porosity that is different than that of the first material. A fill material is disposed within the cover.
