A duvet cover includes a lower fabric layer and an upper fabric layer. The upper fabric layer includes an opening in the center of the duvet cover so that a duvet is visible through the opening when the duvet is in the duvet cover. A ratio of an area of the opening in the upper fabric layer to a total area of the upper fabric layer including the opening is at least 1:9.

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.

The present invention is a bedding system that simultaneously: 1) simplifies the process of installing a fitted sheet; 2) simplifies the process of removing and reinserting a duvet from a duvet cover; 3) secures a duvet inside the cover so it does not shift, bunch, or fold inside the cover; and 4) allows a user to quickly and easily to make a bed with all parts neatly aligned. The system comprises: a fitted sheet with zippers, a duvet, a duvet cover, and optionally a flat sheet. The invention further comprises a plurality of magnets and/or thin ferrous metal plates that secure a duvet inside the cover such that it does not shift, bunch, or fold inside the cover and align the duvet cover with the fitted sheet.

Devices and methods that allow for rapid and efficient changing of duvet covers, comprising an upper section and a lower section of washable material that are sized to be larger than a duvet that will be covered and isolated. The upper and lower sections are secured together along a single edge only, and that edge is positioned at the head of the bed. The duvet is placed between the upper and lower sections, isolating and enclosing the duvet, thereby preventing the duvet from becoming exposed while the bed is in use, and simultaneously allowing for easy and rapid changing of the duvet cover after use.

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.

The invention is a duvet and method of operating same, the duvet comprising a base cover and tab sheet, the base cover defines a hollow interior accessible through a resealable aperture that continuously located along a base cover bottom edge that is adjacent to one base cover side edge, the hollow interior further configured to removably receive a quilt or the like and a continuous seam forms the base top edge and adjacent another base cover side edge, the tab sheet that has a pocket portion and base portion, the base portion attaches to the base cover proximate to the base cover bottom edge while the pocket portion forms an open-end pocket having an pocket aperture that opens out upon the base portion, the open-ended pocket being sufficiently constructed to accommodate at least a portion of an operator's hand.

An air mattress assembly includes an air mattress and a cover system. The cover system is made of a fabric material. The air mattress, if fully inflated without the cover system in place, would be too large for the cover to fit over the fully inflated air mattress. With the cover system in place around the air mattress, the cover system will be under tension when the air mattress is inflated to operational pressures. In some embodiments the cover is bonded to the air mattress.

Devices and methods that allow for rapid and efficient changing of duvet covers, comprising an upper section and a lower section of washable material that are sized to be significantly larger than a duvet that will be covered and isolated. The upper and lower sections are secured together along a single edge only, and that edge is positioned at the head of the bed. The duvet is placed between the upper and lower sections, isolating and enclosing the duvet, thereby preventing the duvet from becoming exposed while the bed is in use, and simultaneously allowing for easy and rapid changing of the duvet cover after use.
