The present invention is a system and method for providing a comforter that is divided into three sections or panels, wherein a center panel of the comforter may be pulled down while allowing the remaining two outer panels to remain up and on top of the other occupants of the bed on either side of the center panel, wherein a small infant sleeper crib may be placed in the gap between the two outer panels of the comforter without any danger of the infant being covered by the center panel.

This present invention relates to a custom fitted sheet to substantially cover a mattress. The custom fitted sheet includes a label on the top side to notify the users that the sheet is in a proper orientation before being applied to the mattress. The label may read “TOP” to indicate a top section of the sheet, wherein the label prevents the sheet from being installed on the mattress in an incorrect manner. A plurality of sleeves is present near the top corners of the sheet, and are disposed on the side surfaces of the mattress when the sheet is placed around the mattress. The sleeves provide secure storage for small personal items without risk of loss or misplacement. An elastic band is also provided along the peripheral edge of the sheet to assist in securing the sheet around the mattress.

A duvet cover includes first and second fabric layers with a pocket defined between the layers, and which is configured to have an opening defining an entrance to the pocket that can receive a separate fill layer, defined by a blanket or comforter. At least a section of one of the fabric layers defining a flap configured to engage with a corresponding section of the duvet cover and cover the opening via fastening elements. At least some of the fastening elements can be color-coded to identify the size of the bed for which the duvet cover is to cover. One of the fabric layers and the fill layer can include fastening elements that engage one another to secure the fill layer in position within the cover assembly. The duvet cover hides the appearance of the fill layer in the pocket and covers the opening through which the fill layer is received.

A bedding protector for installing over a bedding to serve as a machine washable barrier between a user and their bedding. The bedding protector comprises a body that is adapted to be attached to the bedding in a secured position such that the interior side of the body lays atop an exterior side of the bedding. A fastening system includes a bedding protector fastener configured to releasably mate with a bedding fastener, such that when they are secured to one another the bedding protector and bedding are thereby secured to each other. In one embodiment, the bedding protector wraps around the bedding to lay against the exterior side of the bedding so as to sandwich the bedding. In another embodiment, the bedding protector secures to the bedding via a zipper fastener. The bedding protector prevents dirt, odors, and oils from a sleeper's skin from transferring onto the bedding.

The present invention is a system and method for providing a comforter that is divided into three sections or panels, wherein a center panel of the comforter may be pulled down while allowing the remaining two outer panels to remain up and on top of the other occupants of the bed on either side of the center panel, wherein a small infant sleeper crib may be placed in the gap between the two outer panels of the comforter without any danger of the infant being covered by the center panel.

A method of updating existing screen printing or other manufacturing processing in order to generate sheets and other bedding with marking indicators for proper alignment of the covering on a mattress, and the covering as produced. For a top sheet it would be marked along the top edge of the sheet as well as the body of the sheet which contacts the corners of the mattress at the foot of the bed, and for a fitted bottom sheet the markings would occur at each corner of the sheet which is associated with a corner of the mattress. Optional side indicators located between the corner indicators may also be included. The purpose is to provide a quick and easy identifier for locating the corners of the mattress with the sheet so that the sheet is quickly and easily placed symmetrically upon the mattress the first time.

An article for use on a mattress includes a bedding article and means for orienting the bedding article on a mattress. The means for orienting the bedding article on a mattress may be hidden from view when the bedding article is installed on a mattress. The means for orienting the bedding article on a mattress may be one or more of color contrasting sections, indicia, labels, or stitching. The bedding article has two sides, a top end, a bottom, an opening for seating around the bed, an edge around the opening, and four corners, with two corners being at the top end and two corners being at the bottom end. An article for use as a cover for an underlying item is also disclosed, with the article including a cover article and means for orienting the cover article on an underlying item.

Bedding location identification devices, systems, kits, and assemblies, and methods of using the same. In at least one embodiment of a device for orienting bedding relative to a bed, the device comprises a first portion comprising at least one first piercing element and/or at least one first receiver extending therefrom or defined therein, and a second portion comprising at least one second piercing element and/or at least one second receiver extending therefrom or defined therein, wherein when the first portion and/or the second portion are positioned through a portion of bedding, the at least one first piercing element and the at least one second piercing element are engaged by the at least one first receiver and the at least one second receiver, respectively, to secure the device to the bedding.

A duvet cover includes first and second fabric layers with a pocket defined between the layers, and which is configured to have an opening defining an entrance to the pocket that can receive a separate fill layer, defined by a blanket or comforter. At least a section of one of the fabric layers defining a flap configured to engage with a corresponding section of the duvet cover and cover the opening via fastening elements. At least some of the fastening elements can be color-coded to identify the size of the bed for which the duvet cover is to cover. One of the fabric layers and the fill layer can include fastening elements that engage one another to secure the fill layer in position within the cover assembly. The duvet cover hides the appearance of the fill layer in the pocket and covers the opening through which the fill layer is received.

A duvet cover system includes a cover assembly, defined by first and second fabric layers with a pocket defined between the layers, and which is configured to receive a separate fill layer, defined by a blanket or comforter. One of the fabric layers and the fill layer include fastening elements that engage one another to secure the fill layer in position within the cover assembly, and at least some of these fastening elements are color-coded to identify the size of the bed for which the system is to cover. As such, a plurality of different size cover assemblies can be easily sorted for pairing with proper corresponding sizes of fill layers based on the easy size identification provided by the color-coded fastening elements.
