Apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for quilting webs without compressing the webs. A quilting machine includes a needle bar to which needles are attached, needle thread passing through each needle, a looper shaft to which loopers are attached, a looper corresponding to each needle and from which looper thread is provided to form stitches, and a retainer bar to which spreaders are attached to facilitate stitching. A drive pulley powered by a first servo motor rotates cranks to move the needles through a cycle and rotates a belt which rotates an indexer pulley. Rotation of the indexer pulley oscillates the looper shaft and reciprocates the retainer bar. Another drive pulley powered by a second servo motor operates to move an input web through the machine between chain stiches.

A bed linen comprises a single, continuous piece of fabric extending substantially completely across lateral dimensions of the bed linen and including elastomeric fibers and non-elastomeric fibers. The single, continuous piece of fabric is configured to stretch to at least 125 percent of an initial length thereof without damage thereto and to substantially return to the initial length thereof after being stretched. A bedding assembly and a method of forming a bedding assembly are also described.

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 duvet includes a duvet cover and an insert. The duvet cover includes a base and a top that that are secured to each other along fewer than three full edges (e.g., along one full edge and an adjacent part of one or two adjacent edge; along two full, adjacent edges; etc.). An upper surface of the top of the duvet cover may lack visible seams and fasteners. An interior surface of a base of the duvet cover may engage a surface of an insert positioned within a receptacle of the duvet cover, over the base (e.g., with touch fasteners, etc.). Methods for using duvet covers and duvets are also disclosed.

Textile articles are readily convertible between stowed and unstowed configurations. The convertible articles include an outer cover portion and an inner textile portion. The outer cover portion forms an interior cavity having an opening therethrough, and the inner textile portion has a free end and an opposite bottom end. In the stowed configuration, the inner textile portion is stowed within the interior cavity of the outer cover portion such that the article forms a pillow, cushion, pad, or the like. In the unstowed configuration, the free end of the inner textile portion extends through the opening of the outer cover portion and the bottom end is attached to the interior cavity, such that the article forms a blanket, a quilt, a sleeping bag, a garment, or the like.

The proposed blanket includes at least one flexible layer including an upper and a lower fabric, between which a filler made of fibers is arranged. The flexible layer includes a plurality of holes. The blanket has stitched seams, the intersections of which coincide with the centers of the holes. The holes of smaller dimensions occupy up to two thirds of the length of the blanket, and the holes of larger dimensions occupy up to one third of the length of the blanket. The ventilation holes are furnished around the perimeter with blanket stitches.

An artificial feather filling material. The material comprises artificial feathers (1), Each of the feathers (1) comprises a first sheet (20) of a first nonwoven material, A filament (10) is arranged along one extension of the sheet and the fiber is bonded to the first sheet.

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.

The present invention is a weighted blanket device that includes a weighted section and at least one support pillow but may or may not include a non-weighted section. The weighted blanket device provides support and/or comfort to certain applicable body area(s) of a user during use. As a non-limiting embodiment, the weighted blanket device preferably includes a first end, a second end, a right side, a left side, a top surface, a bottom surface, a length, a width, a weighted section, a non-weighted section, and one support pillow. As another non-limiting embodiment, the weighted blanket device includes a pair of support pillows. As non-limiting examples of embodiment(s) that includes a pair of support pillows, the support pillows may be of the same size or of different sizes. Preferably, the length of the weighted blanket device is shorter than the lengths of conventional weighted blankets.

A duvet cover for housing an assembly includes a top fabric panel and a bottom fabric panel that together form a flexible fabric envelope for receiving the duvet, wherein head edges of the top fabric panel and the bottom fabric panel are joined together and may form a permanently closed head edge. Side edges of the top fabric panel and the bottom fabric panel and foot edges of the top fabric panel and the bottom fabric panel edges may be equipped with closable fastening devices to engage each other thereby defining at least three closable edges and a composite fabric panel that forms a second end pocket at a foot edge of the bottom fabric panel. The foot edge of the composite fabric panel is joined with the foot edge of the bottom fabric panel securing the duvet in place inside the duvet cover.
