Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

When people sleep at night their body temperature may vary from their feet to their heads. An example of this would be when people's feet are colder than the rest of their bodies which causes the entire body to feel cold.

It would be advantageous to provide a sheet that would passively create a warmer zone for the feet and legs than the head.

It would also be advantageous to provide a sheet that combined the features of cool fabric with warm fabric to apply these zones to a bed.

It would also be advantageous to combine these fabrics in a single sheet that would be fitted to a mattress without any modifications to the mattress or the bed.

It is therefore an object of the invention to maintain a warm zone at the foot of the bed.

It is another object of the invention to be a warming zone as long as it is on the bed.

It is another object of the invention to be cooler at the head of the bed.

It is another object of the invention to make it easy for the user to create a dual warmth bed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a fitted sheet a portion of which is made from a fabric that feels warmer and a portion of which is made from a fabric that feels cooler so the user would be able to have warmer feet without overheating the rest of their bodies.
