Various entertainment systems, that include a blanket, along with a flexible book that is removably attachable to the blanket, are described. Such flexible books may include a flexible cover and disposed within the flexible cover may be at least one flexible page. The flexible book may be constructed from a fabric. In some embodiments, the blanket may comprise at least one pocket for removable storage of the flexible book. In some embodiments, the blanket may be folded in half, creating a folder, wherein this folder may be used to removably store the flexible book. And irrespective of such flexible book storage with the blanket, the flexible book may be removably attached to the blanket using mechanical fasteners. Additionally, methods of use and methods of manufacturing for such blankets and flexible books are described, disclosed, and taught.

Various sheet configurations that improve mattress fit are described. For example, sheets having elastic corners, gripping mechanisms, and faceted side panels are provided that enhance sheet-to-mattress fit. The features employed by some or all of the versions of the sheet described herein enhance interconnection of the sheet onto the mattress, wherein sheets securely interconnect to mattresses having rounded corners or maintain fit with mattresses that have portions that selectively move.

Improved batting insert materials for quilting are provided herein. The improved batting materials are adapted to be positioned between a quilt top and quilt bottom, and the materials advantageously prevent slippage of quilt layers during stitching without the need for pinning or basting. The insert materials generally comprise a batting layer and a flannel layer secured to the batting layer. The flannel layer is adapted to be positioned abutting the quilt bottom, and it has been discovered that the interaction between the surfaces of these fabrics prevents the layers from slipping. Quilts and methods utilizing the improved batting insert materials are also provided herein.

A top cover comprises a woven web of warp yarns and fill yarns, with a first plurality of the fill yarns (and/or the warp yarns) being non-spandex, non-core spun elastomeric yarns and a second plurality of the fill yarns (and/or the warp yarns) being non-elastomeric yarns whereby the top cover has a wash activated patterning so as to have a bulky look or texture after it is laundered, especially the first time it is laundered, which allows the top cover to serve as a top cover without the need for additional processing such as ironing or pressing.

A polypropylene sheet with an upper panel and a lower panel that are joined at a foot end. The sheets are dimensioned to fit a person inside to protect them from direct contact with bedding sheets. There is an optional pillow pocket at the head end of the lower panel to fit a pillow inside also preventing direct contact. There are optional adhesive strips to seal one or both edges of the top panel to the bottom panel.

The bed cover includes a decorative top layer, a middle warming layer, and a bottom fabric layer. The bottom backing layer may be sewn to the middle warming layer using a functional stitch pattern. The decorative top layer may be sewn to the bottom fabric layer, or both the bottom fabric layer and middle layer using a perimeter stitch.
