Abstract: A security blanket which is simulative of the tactile response of the amnion lining and amniotic fluid as known and seen to be experienced by a fetus by the use of ultrasonography is provided by juxtapositioning two flexible sheets of material which are preferably attached only on their common peripheral boundaries. The sliding coefficient of friction between the two sheets is low and simulative of fluidic friction so that when the sheets are manipulated or stroked by the hand and fingers of an infant, a fluidic or smooth glide is sensed. The sheets preferably are formed as a rectangle 14 by 18 inches and are bound along their common peripheries by a border. In one embodiment the brush flannel sheet is attached to a charmeuse satin sheet and bound by satin border.

Abstract: The invention is an improved bed covering multiple component comforter formed with a container-cover unit containing removable and interchangeable insulator pad units enclosing heat insulating material such as down. The pads are each held in place in compartments or channels of the container-cover. The pad units may be removed prior to washing or dry cleaning of the container-cover. Similarly, the pad units may be washed independently of the container-cover, when removed. The container-cover may be made of one of a number of different decorative fabrics, with the user applying the pads units into the particular container-cover that is to be used at the moment. Each compartment opening through which a pad unit is to be inserted may be fitted with a flap that overlaps the opening of the compartment to prevent inadvertent removal of the pad. A flexible tape device may also be employed to fasten the openings of the compartments in use.

Abstract: A blanket assembly composed of interconnectable blankets, for single and double beds, comprises at least two single bed blankets, provided, along at least one of their sides, with buttons and buttonholes, respectively, disposed at such a mutual distance as to allow buttoning the sides to one another.

Abstract: A mattress construction in which the firmness of the top surface is selectively adjustable. A mattress body provides the primary support for a person lying on top thereof. A removable pillow top covers the mattress body, and is removably fastened thereto along its peripheral edges. A relatively thin fluid inflatable cushion is positioned beneath the removable top such that the pressure in the cushion can be varied to alter the firmness of the mattress top surface.

Abstract: A fitted double sheet for beds having upper and lower sheets notched and sewn together at their foot ends to provide doubled box corners cooperating with single box corners at the head end of the lower sheet to keep the unit in place on the bed. The side portions of the upper sheet are sewn only part way into the doubled box corners so that the side portions can hang free and not impose restrictions on the feet of the user. Elastic strips are provided for keeping the bottom sheet snug on the mattress and such strips are enclosed in fabric pockets running along the joinder between the foot ends of the upper and lower sheets.
