  • Patent number: 10945542
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10612174
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9089222
    Abstract: A simulated platform bed panel system is designed for use with a bed system such as a bed frame adapted to support a mattress above a floor surface. The simulated platform bed panel system creates the appearance of a platform bed upon which the mattress appears to be supported and includes first and second generally rectangular side panels. The simulated platform bed panel system also includes a generally rectangular foot panel. Each of the panels has an exterior aspect having a decorative feature, and the panels are cooperable to be situated in a set defining a U-shape with the exterior aspects directed outwardly. The side panels define the legs and the foot panel defines the yoke of the U-shape. The panels may be rigid and/or may have top sides which are free relative to each other.

  • Patent number: 8671476
    Abstract: A bed sheet defined by a one-ply woven web of warp yarns and fill yarns having a top and a side panel depending from the top panel. The warp yarns extend in a warp direction through the top and side panel and the fill yarns extend in a fill direction through the top and the side panel. A plurality of fill yarns, warp yarns, or both are a non-spandex, non-core spun elastomeric yarn whereby the bed sheet is stretchable at least along the elastomeric yarns as a contoured bed sheet. In one example, the non-spandex, non-core spun elastomeric yarns are composed of elasterell-p.

  • Patent number: 8230537
    Abstract: A bedding top cover that defines a woven fabric that is ordinarily white or substantially white in color and has an alternate colored, textured, and/or patterned area or band purposefully located near the foot end of the bedding top cover and which is woven, via colored, textured, and/or patterned yarns, integrally with the top cover fabric. This simulated alternate colored, textured, and/or patterned area appears in many respects to be a bed scarf and serves the same aesthetic and protective functions of a separate piece of fabric. In one example, the simulated bed scarf is multicolored and the remainder of the bedding top cover is white.
