Abstract
An article of bedding comprising a bottom sheet (11) having side walls (12) thus to form a box sheet to be placed elastically over a mattress (10), and a top cover (14) having its edges attached to those of the bottom sheet (11) by means of a gusset (16). A sliding clasp fastener or the like (15) is provided to attach the edges of the bottom sheet and top cover together respectively when the article is not in use. A pillowcase (18) is permanently or removably attached to one end of the sheet and has an opening for insertion and removal of a pillow. The entire article, possibly excluding the pillow, is preferably of machine washable materials. An article made in this way ensures that the top cover which may contain a duvet, cannot slide off the bed inadvertently and therefore the occupant, most likely a child, is kept warm and safe from falling out of bed whilst having freedom of movement within the enclosure formed by the bottom sheet and top cover.
Description
- This application is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/GB2006/003040 filed on Aug. 14, 2006 which claims priority to Great Britain Patent Application No. 0517315.8 filed on Aug. 24, 2005 all of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety herein.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention concerns an article of bedding comprising a bottom sheet and a top cover attached together to form a sleeping enclosure. Since the advent of duvets as opposed to blanket and sheet combinations which are tucked under a mattress, several attempts have been made to ensure that a duvet remains in place centrally over the bed and does not tend to move to one side or the other as a result of the occupant of the bed moving during sleep. The invention is particularly, though not exclusively, concerned with children's bedding, the importance being to keep a child warm during the night without the need for elaborate devices to maintain the central location of the duvet.
- 2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
- Some known devices have included straps or other ties which are attached to a duvet and pass around or are attached to the mattress of the bed. One of the disadvantages of these known devices is that the duvet is held tightly over the occupant thus reducing freedom of movement within the sleeping enclosure.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved article of bedding for this purpose.
- According to the present invention an article of bedding comprises a bottom sheet to be laid upon a mattress, the bottom sheet having means for attachment to a mattress thus to retain the bottom sheet thereon, a top cover superimposed upon the bottom sheet and having at least two edges attached to at least two corresponding edges of the bottom sheet to form therewith a sleeping enclosure; characterised in that the manner of attachment of the top cover to the bottom sheet is such as to afford the top cover freedom of movement upwards of the bottom sheet at said corresponding edges thereof.
- A gusset may be attached to and disposed between the corresponding edges respectively of the bottom sheet and the top cover to provide freedom of movement within the sleeping enclosure.
- The corresponding edges of the bottom sheet and the top cover may be selectively attached closely together by two-part fastening means such as a sliding clasp fastener or a hook and loop fastener, when the bed is not occupied.
- The top cover may be formed as an envelope containing a duvet which, optionally, may be removable for washing separately.
- The means for attachment of the bottom sheet to a mattress may be flexible side walls to form a box sheet elasticated around at least a part of the bottom edge thereof.
- The article may include a pillowcase attached to at least one edge region of the bottom sheet with an opening for insertion or removal of a pillow.
- The article may consist entirely of machine washable materials.
- An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows an article of bedding attached to a mattress; -
FIG. 2 is an underside view of a mattress with the article thereon; and -
FIG. 3 is a view showing the article in an open condition ready for use. - Referring now to the drawings, they show on a
mattress 10 an article of bedding made in accordance with the invention. It comprises abottom sheet 11 which is laid upon themattress 10 and is made, typically, from a breathable polyester/cotton mix fibre. Descending from all four edges of thebottom sheet 10 areside walls 12 which may be of a material similar to that of thesheet 10 or may be of a fleece material, for example. Thebottom edges 13 of the side wall, at least in the corner regions, are preferably elasticated thus to be retained on the mattress as can be seen inFIG. 2 , in the form of a box sheet. - A
top cover 14 of corresponding width is attached around three of its edges to thesheet 11 by a double slidingclasp fastener 15 thus to form, with the sheet 11 a sleeping enclosure rather like a sleeping bag. Attached to and disposed between the corresponding edges of the bottom sheet and top cover, partly around three sides thereof, is agusset 16. This may be permanently attached, for example by stitching, to the respective edges of the bottom sheet and top cover, or there may be a fastener to enable the top cover to be removed, with or without thegusset 16, from the bottom sheet if required. However, it is envisaged that, preferably, the entire article will be as one so that it may be removed in its entirety from the mattress, for washing. - The
top cover 14 may have an opening as shown at 17 to receive a duvet. In addition, or alternatively, at least one face of thetop cover 14 may be of a fleece material. - A
pillowcase 18 which may have an opening along the front or rear edge or at one or both ends to receive a pillow, is preferably attached to thebottom sheet 11 by stitching at 19. - The
top cover 14 is of such a length that in aportion 14 a it partly overlaps thepillowcase 18 for added warmth and it is seen that thegusset 16 along the side edges of the article extends slightly in excess of half of the overall length of thecover 14 with itsportion 14 a. - As can be seen from
FIG. 3 , when thefasteners 15 are opened the gusset may extend so that the entire top cover may be spaced from thesheet 11 to provide freedom of movement for the occupant who may gain access to the sleeping enclosure very readily by turning back the top cover as far as the adjacent extent of the gusset. - It will be appreciated that while the top cover which may contain a duvet, is attached to the bottom sheet and therefore cannot slide off the bed inadvertently, nevertheless the freedom of movement typically provided by a freely superimposed duvet, is retained by the provision of the gusset.
- When the bed is not occupied, the
fasteners 15 may be closed, withgusset 16 tucked inside, to present a neat appearance, as shown inFIG. 1 - It is envisaged that the entire article of bedding shall be made of materials which are machine washable and may be tumble-dried so that the whole item may be laundered without taking it apart save, perhaps, for the pillow being removed from the pillowcase. If the
top cover 14 contains a removable duvet it might render the item more readily machine washed if the duvet core were removed, thus reducing the bulk of the item. - One or
more pockets 20 may be provided in theside walls 12 which thus may contain personal items. - It will be appreciated that some or all of the outer surfaces of the article may bear decorative patterns or ornamentation including, for example, cartoon characters.
- It is not intended to limit the invention to the above example only. For example, the sliding
claps fasteners 15 may be replaced by hook and loop fasteners or other alternative means such as press studs. Thepillowcase 18 may be permanently stitched all round to thebottom sheet 11 or attached thereto by a removable fastener. - Instead of the gusset being disposed between the opposed parts of the sliding clasp fastener 15, one part of the latter may extend around one edge of the gusset with the other edge of the gusset stitched to the corresponding edge of the top cover or bottom sheet, whereby when the top cover is lying in superimposed relationship with the
bottom sheet 11, and thefastener 15 is closed, the gusset will partially overhang the sides of the mattress. - The
gusset 16 may extend further towards the pillow but be left, in the extended region, unstitched from the bottom sheet to allow ready access for the occupant. - The gusset may have a thickness greater than that of the bottom sheet to provide additional warmth.
