Benefits of technology

[0007]The invention incorporates a closure mechanism, such as, e.g., a hidden dressmaker's zipper, along at least two adjacent sides of a removable cover to give the appearance of a regular seam line, and allows for easier insertion of the bedding material into the cover.

Problems solved by technology

Washing and changing bedding covers has always required the difficult and unwieldy process of inserting a large piece of bedding, such as a duvet or comforter, into an opening along the short side of a cover, such as a duvet cover.
This process often involves long reaching or awkward maneuvering inside the cover to smooth the far corners of the cover, or shaking the bedding to correct bunching and folding problems.
There are a number of problems with using buttons or snaps as the closing mechanism to close the open side of the cover.
First, the buttoning of buttons is time consuming; second, buttons are uncomfortable to the touch when the opening side is not placed at the foot of the bed; third, buttons may break or come loose from the cover and need replacing; and finally, often the inserted bedding is visible and bulges out of the cover in the areas between the buttons.
Additionally, when the size of the opening is increased to make inserting easier, the above-noted problems with such closing mechanisms are exacerbated.
