Benefits of technology

The bedding foot pocket device is a cover that can be placed over a mattress to provide warmth and insulation to the user's feet. It has a pocket panel that can hold the user's feet and allows them to rest comfortably on the mattress. The device helps to even out the temperature of the user's body, providing a more pleasant sleep experience.

Problems solved by technology

When sleeping in or resting in a bed, many people suffer from cold feet.
The addition of one or more blankets to the bed typically does not resolve the problem because the blankets have the effect of make the entire body warmer and in many cases the body becomes too hot while the feet are still cold.
However, this may require the person to seek out or find a suitable pair of socks, and once on, they can become uncomfortable, may fall off, and therefore defeat their entire purpose.
Furthermore, with socks, if one's feet become too warm, the socks need to be removed which can be an inconvenience for the one or more people that may otherwise be comfortable in bed.
As a further drawback, many people dislike the image of even wearing socks to bed.
Finally, a need exists for novel foot warmth devices which do not unnecessarily provide warmth to other portions of the body.

Abstract

A bedding foot pocket device is provided. The device preferably may be used with a mattress having a top wall and bottom wall upon which individuals commonly sleep. The device may include a body which may receive all or portions of the mattress. A pocket panel may be coupled to the body so that when a mattress is received by the device, the pocket panel may be positioned above the top wall thereby forming a pocket between the pocket panel and the body. The pocket panel may have a terminal edge which may provide access to the pocket. The body may receive portions of a mattress and a user may rest on the body and mattress. The user may selectively insert portions of their body, such as their feet, into the pocket by passing portions of their body under the terminal edge between the pocket panel and the body.
