Abstract: A tightly rolled sleeping bag. The tightly rolled sleeping bag is rolled using conventional equipment, but pressure is applied to an end of the sleeping bag so as to cause the sleeping bag to be more tightly rolled than previous sleeping bags. Rolling tines for a rolling machine for rolling the sleeping bag are tapered so as to aid in removal of the tightly rolled sleeping bag. A storage sack is provided for holding the sleeping bag. The storage sack is configurable between a first arrangement where the storage sack holds the sleeping bag in the tight configuration, and a second arrangement where the storage sack may be released and expands to hold the sleeping bag in a less tightly rolled configuration. To provide such a function, an expansion section is provided on the storage sack. A closure is provided on the expansion section.

Abstract: A sleeping bag that includes at least one clasp configured and arranged to hold sections of a sleeping bag together while the sleeping bag is rolled for storage. In use, when a user desires to roll the sleeping bag, sections of the sleeping bag are folded together, and the clasp or clasps are utilized to hold the sections of the sleeping bag together, which may help in maintaining alignment of the sections during rolling. In accordance with another embodiment, an inner liner extends along the inside of the sleeping bag and is exposed to part of the outer surface of the sleeping bag. The portion of the inner liner extending beyond the outer cover extends back over a section of the outer cover to form a cushion at the head of the sleeping bag.

Abstract: Airbed bedding that fits multiple sizes of airbeds. The airbed bedding includes first and second layers having drawstrings that extend around each corner of the respective layer. The drawstrings include barrel locks, which permit the drawstrings to be cinched and locked into position. The two layers may be used as a fitted cover for the airbed, and a top sheet or cover. To attach the lower layer to the airbed, a user cinches the four drawstrings. The upper layer is then usable as a top cover. For additional security, the drawstrings at the corners of the foot of the top layer may also be tightened around the airbed. The first layer and the second layer may be attached, for example by a zipper, along one edge, usually at the foot of the bedding.
