Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates generally to bedding products. More particularly, the present invention relates to bedding products that are easy to clean and keep neat. Background Art

[0002] Changing sheets and making beds are often considered chores. For example, due to loose sheets, blankets, or bedding, a lot of time and effort may be spent to give the bed a neat appearance. In addition, removing bedding from the bed for purposes such as washing can also be time consuming and frustrating. Therefore, there is a need for bedding that is easy to manufacture and / or easy to remove and clean. Summary of the invention

[0003] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide benefits and / or solve one or more problems in the art by providing bedding with enhanced cleaning and / or arrangement convenience. For example, in some embodiments, the bedding includes a mounting base configured to at least partially surround a mattress, a top member (e.g., a bed sheet, a quilt, a duvet) that can be removably connected to the mounting base and has an extendable side portion, and a bed sheet that can be removably connected to the mounting base. For example, in some embodiments, the top member can be connected to the mounting base by a zipper to facilitate making the bed. In addition, in some cases, the bed sheet can be quickly removed from the mounting base (e.g., for washing) without removing the mounting base from the mattress.

[0004] The following description sets forth additional features and advantages of one or more embodiments of the disclosed bedding products. In some cases, such features and advantages will be apparent to those skilled in the art having benefit of this disclosure, or may be learned through practice of the disclosed embodiments.

[0016] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide benefits and / or solve one or more problems in the art through bedding that feels like traditional sleeping bedding while being relatively easier to clean and keep tidy (e.g., relatively easier to "make the bed"). Changing bedding, or tucking in blankets and sheets after sleeping, are cumbersome processes, especially for children. These processes become even more difficult when the bedding being replaced or made is used on non-standard beds, such as bunk beds, cribs, folding beds, hospital beds with rails, military camp beds, beds for recreational vehicles, and the like.

[0017] The bedding disclosed herein provides many advantages over conventional bedding. For example, the bedding disclosed herein is relatively easy to first place on the bed, to make the bed after sleeping, and to remove one or more portions of the bedding for washing. In addition, the disclosed bedding feels like conventional bedding and provides the same comfort and warmth that a user would expect from conventional bedding. Furthermore, the disclosed bedding allows a user to make the bed without tucking the sides of the bedding along or under the sides of the mattress, while still appearing to be tucked when making the bed.

[0018] The components of the embodiments as generally described and shown in the drawings herein may be arranged and designed in a variety of different configurations. Therefore, the following more detailed description of the various embodiments as shown in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure, but merely represents various embodiments. Although various aspects of the embodiments are presented in the drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0019] The phrases "coupled to," "removably coupleable," "connected to," and "removably connectable" refer to any suitable coupling, connection, or other form of mechanical interaction between two or more entities. Thus, two components may be coupled or connected to each other even if they are not in direct contact with each other.

[0020] Figure 1 1 is a perspective view of a bedding product 100 according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. The bedding product 100 has a mounting base 110, a bed sheet 120 removably connectable to the mounting base 110, and a top member 130 removably connectable to the mounting base 110. Figure 1 The view of FIG. 1 is an exploded view, in which the bed sheet 120 is separated from the fitting base 110 , and the top member 130 is also separated from the fitting base 110 . Figure 1 The view of FIG. 1 shows the mounting base 110 installed around the mattress 50 located on the bed frame.

[0021] In some embodiments, the mounting base 110 is configured to at least partially surround the mattress 50. For example, the mounting base 110 can be installed on the mattress 50 by wrapping the mounting base 110 around the sides and ends of the mattress 50. For illustration, the mounting base 110 has two sides and two ends configured to at least partially surround the mattress 50. In some cases, the user can place the mounting base 110 with the sheet 120 around the mattress 50 (e.g., connect the sheet 120 to the mounting base 110). For example, the bedding 100 can be packaged with the mounting base 110 and the sheet 120 connected, and the user can make the bed with the bedding 100 by wrapping the combination of the mounting base 110 and the sheet 120 around the mattress 50. In some embodiments, the mounting base 110 has an elastic band or other elastic member that can be tucked under the bottom edge of the mattress 50 to secure the mounting base 110 around the mattress 50.

[0022] As further described below, in some embodiments, the sheet 120 can be removably connected to the mounting base 110. For example, the sheet 120 has a zipper tape that cooperates with a corresponding zipper tape on the mounting base 110. In some cases, the user can pull the sheet 120 away from the mounting base 110 (or otherwise disconnect it) while installing the mounting base 110 around the mattress 50. For example, the user can remove the sheet 120 to wash the sheet 120 without also removing the mounting base 110. In some cases, this provides the utility of relatively easily removing the sheet 120 from the mounting base 110. In addition, in some cases, by removing the sheet 120 without also removing the mounting base 110 from the mattress 50, the mass and volume of clothing can be reduced, thereby simplifying the cleaning cycle and improving washing and / or drying time, energy and / or resources.

[0023] As described above, in some embodiments, the bedding 100 includes a top piece 130. For example, the top piece 130 can be a bed sheet, a blanket, a quilt, a duvet, or some other bedding. In addition, in some embodiments, the top piece 130 can be removably connected to another component of the bedding 100. For example, the top piece 130 can be removably connected to the mounting base 110. For example, the top piece 130 can be removably connected to the mounting base 110. For illustration, the top piece 130 has two sides, two ends, and two extendable side portions 135 attached along the two sides of the top piece 130. In some embodiments, the two sides of the top piece 130 and one of the two ends can be removably connected to the two sides of the mounting base 110 and one of the two ends. In an alternative embodiment, the top piece 130 can be removably connected to the bed sheet 120.

[0024] In some embodiments, the top member 130 can be configured to surround at least a portion of the top edge of the mounting base 110 (e.g., see Figure 1 , the top piece 130 can be removably connected to the mounting base 110 around the top edge of the mounting base 110 when the mounting base 110 is installed around the mattress 50. For illustration, the top piece 130 can have a zipper tape that mates with a corresponding zipper tape on the mounting base 110.

[0025] In some embodiments, the corresponding zipper strap (located on the mounting base 110) for mating with the top member 130 is a zipper strap different from the corresponding zipper strap (also located on the mounting base 110) for mating with the bed sheet 120 described above. For example, in some embodiments, the mounting base 110 has a smaller zipper strap (e.g., a #3 zipper) for connecting the mounting base 110 to the bed sheet 120 and a larger zipper strap (e.g., a #10 zipper) for connecting the mounting base 110 to the top member 130. Other configurations are possible, and the examples of specific sizes of zippers herein do not limit the present disclosure. In addition, the examples of specific devices for connecting the various components of the bedding 100 (as well as other embodiments of the bedding disclosed herein) do not limit the present disclosure. For example, in some embodiments, the bed sheet can be removably connected to the mounting base using hook and loop fasteners, buttons, snaps, fabric straps, or any other suitable connector.

[0026] Generally speaking, a zipper tape (or "split zipper tape") has two halves, each of which can be attached to a zipper tape and directly or indirectly attached to a fabric. The two halves (or "parts") of the split zipper tape can be removably coupled to each other by sliding a zipper slider and / or a zipper puller or by pulling the zipper slider and / or the zipper puller. For example, by pulling the zipper puller in one direction, the two parts of the zipper tape are coupled together (e.g., by bringing the teeth of the tape into alternating contact positions of the tape), and by pulling the zipper puller in the opposite direction, the two parts of the zipper tape are disengaged (or disconnected, or separated) from each other (e.g., by separating the teeth of one part of the tape from the teeth of the other part).

[0027] like Figure 1 As further shown, in some embodiments, the top member 130 has a middle portion 138 and an extendable side portion 135. For example, the top member 130 has a side portion 135 located on a first side portion and another side portion 135 located on a second side portion. As shown, each extendable side portion 135 has a free edge along the length of the extendable side portion 135 and another edge connected to the side of the top member 130. The side portions 135 can protect a person sleeping in the bedding 100 from direct contact with a zipper tape located on the top member 130. For example, the zipper tape can be located on the upper surface of the top member 130, and the side portions 135 are located below the zipper tape. Therefore, the side portions 135 can provide a comfortable barrier between the person and the zipper tape.

[0028] In some embodiments, the top member 130 includes two zipper tapes, wherein a first zipper tape is removably connectable to the mounting base 110 on one side and a second zipper tape is removably connectable to the mounting base 110 on the other side. To illustrate, the first zipper tape may extend along all or part of the left side of the mounting base 110 and a portion (e.g., the left half) of the end of the mounting base 110 (e.g., the foot side of the bed), and the second zipper tape may extend along all or part of the right side of the mounting base 110 and a portion (e.g., the right half) of the end of the mounting base 110. Therefore, in some embodiments, the top member 130 has an end that can be removably connected to the mounting base 110, a first side that can be removably connected to the mounting base 110, a second side that can be removably connected to the mounting base 110, a first extendable side portion 135 connected to the first side portion of the top member 130, and a second extendable side portion 135 connected to the second side portion of the top member 130.

[0029] In some cases, the user can make the bed by tucking the side portions 135 under the middle portion 138 of the top piece 130 and then pulling the top piece 130 together with the mating base 110 to form a finished or closed configuration. Additional details about the top piece and its relationship to the rest of the bedding are provided in U.S. Patent Application No. 14 / 166,607, filed on January 28, 2014, entitled "BEDCOVERING," and issued on October 6, 2015 as U.S. Patent No. 9,149,136, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0030] Figure 2 1 is a perspective view of some of the components of the bedding article 100 according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. As described above, the bedding article 100 includes a fitting base 110 and a bed sheet 120. Figure 2 The sheet 120 is shown disconnected from the mounting base 110. Figure 2 A mounting base is shown positioned about a mattress 50 .

[0031] As described above, in some embodiments, the fitting base 110 and the bed sheet 120 have a connector (e.g., a zipper), and the bed sheet 120 is connected to the fitting base 110 through the connector. For example, the fitting base 110 has a portion (e.g., a half) of the separated zipper tape 112, and the bed sheet 120 has a corresponding portion (e.g., the other half) of the separated zipper tape 122. Therefore, in some embodiments, the portion of the separated zipper tape 122 located on the bed sheet 120 can be removably connected to the portion of the separated zipper tape 112 located on the fitting base 110. For example, the user can connect and / or disconnect the bed sheet 120 from the fitting base 110 by pulling the zipper puller 121 to close and / or open the zipper tape. As also described above, in some alternative embodiments, the mounting base 110 and the bed sheet 120 have one or more other connectors, such as buttons and buttonholes, hooks and loops, male and female snaps, fabric ties, and the like.

[0032] In some embodiments, the zipper puller 121 is positioned on the mounting base 110 instead of the bed sheet 120. For example, the zipper puller 121 may be manufactured to remain on the portion of the separate zipper tape 112 located on the mounting base 110, and the zipper puller 121 is configured to be coupled to the portion of the separate zipper tape 122 located on the bed sheet 120 when the bed sheet 120 is coupled to the mounting base 110.

[0033] Figure 3 1 is another perspective view of some of the components of the bedding product 100 according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. As described above, the bedding product 100 includes a fitting base 110 and a bed sheet 120 . Figure 3 A bed sheet 120 is shown connected to the mounting base 110 .

[0034] although Figure 3 The zipper puller 121 is shown as being located at the head of the bed, but in some embodiments, the endpoint of the zipper puller 121 (i.e., the position of the zipper puller 121 when the zipper tape is closed) is located elsewhere. For example, in one or more embodiments, the endpoint of the zipper puller 121 is located at a corner of the bed sheet 120.

[0035] In some embodiments, the bed sheet 120 can be removably connected to the mounting base 110 using a single separate zipper strap. In other words, the single separate zipper strap is the only connector for coupling the bed sheet 120 to the mounting base 110. Specifically, in these embodiments, the bed sheet 120 and the mounting base 110 do not have additional zipper straps for coupling the bed sheet 120 and the mounting base 110 to each other (although the mounting base 110 and / or the bed sheet 120 may have additional zipper straps to couple to other components of the bedding 100, as described herein). In contrast, in some alternative embodiments, the bed sheet 120 and the mounting base 110 have multiple separate zipper straps for coupling the bed sheet 120 and the mounting base 110 to each other.

[0036] Figure 4 1 is an end view of some of the components of the bedding product 100 according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. As described above, the bedding product 100 includes a mounting base 110 and a top member 130 . Figure 4 The top member 130 is shown fitted over the base 110. In addition. Figure 4 The zipper puller 121 of the bed sheet 120 is shown. Figure 4 The sheet 120 is substantially obscured in the figure, but is connected to the mounting base 110.

[0037] In a typical use of the bedding product 100, the fitting base 110 and the sheet 120, when coupled together, can resemble a conventional fitted sheet for a mattress. Thus, for example, when the zipper puller 121 is positioned at (or near) its endpoints, a user can sleep on the sheet 120, wherein the top member 130 is used as a top layer of bedding (e.g., a quilt, a flat sheet, a blanket, etc.).

[0038] In addition, although Figure 4 The extendable side portions 135 are shown extending horizontally, but in typical use, the extendable side portions 135 will hang down on either side of the bedding 100. Thus, the extendable side portions 135 can provide comfort to the user, for example, by providing warmth, tactile comfort, and / or protection from zipper ties or other connectors on the top member 130. In addition, the extendable side portions 135 can also provide the traditional feel of a blanket cover when the zipper is not zipped up.

[0039] In some embodiments, the bedding article 100 has a finished configuration. For example, in the finished configuration, the top member 130 is connected to the mounting base 110 along the sides and one end of the top member 130, wherein the extendable side portion 135 is tucked between the middle portion of the top member 130 and the sheet 120. In addition, in some embodiments, the bedding article 100 has an unfinished configuration. For example, in the unfinished configuration, the top member 130 is separated from the mounting base 110 along the sides of the top member 130, wherein the free edges of the extendable side portions 135 extend freely outward from the sides of the top member 130.

[0040] Figure 5 1 is a top view of some of the components of bedding 100 according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. In particular, Figure 5 A sheet 120 is shown connected to the mounting base 110 (eg, when mounted on a mattress). Figure 5 The view of FIG. 1 shows the zipper puller 121 partially closed around portions of the separated zipper tapes 112, 122. Additionally, in some embodiments, the bed sheet 120 has a hidden wing 124 that at least partially covers the zipper tape.

[0041] For illustration, the sheet 120 can have a hidden wing 124 adjacent to a portion of the separated zipper tape 122. In some embodiments, the hidden wing 124 is configured to cover the separated zipper tape. For example, the hidden wing 124 provides a visual barrier on the zipper tape, thereby giving the bedding 100 the appearance of a traditional bedding (e.g., the hidden wing 124 can make the sheet 120 commensurate with the matching base 110 to give the bedding 100 the appearance of a traditional fitted sheet). In addition, the hidden wing 124 can protect the person using the bedding 100 from direct physical contact with the zipper tape, thereby enhancing the comfort of the user.

[0042] Figure 6 2 is a perspective view of a bedding product 200 according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. The bedding product 200 has a mounting base 210, a bed sheet 220 removably connectable to the mounting base 210, and a top member 230 removably connectable to the mounting base 210. Figure 6 The view of FIG. 2 is an exploded view, in which the bed sheet 220 is separated from the fitting base 210 , and the top member 230 is also separated from the fitting base 210 .

[0043] The bedding product 200 is similar in some respects to the bedding product 100 described above. Therefore, like features are indicated by like reference numerals, with the leading numeral incremented to "2". For example, Figure 6The illustrated embodiment includes a bed sheet 220, which in some respects may be similar to Figures 1 to 5 Therefore, the relevant disclosures about similar determined features set forth above may not be repeated below. In addition, Figures 1 to 5 Specific features of the bedding 100 and related components shown in the drawings may not be shown or identified by reference numerals in the drawings or not specifically discussed in the subsequent written description. However, these features may be the same or substantially the same as the features depicted in other embodiments and / or described with reference to these embodiments. Therefore, the relevant description of these features also applies to Figure 6 Features of the bedding product 200 and related components are shown. Figure 1 Any suitable combination of features and variations thereof described with respect to the bedding article 100 and related components shown in FIG. Figure 6 The bedding 200 and related components are used together, and vice versa. This mode of the present disclosure is also applicable to the additional embodiments depicted in the subsequent drawings and described below, wherein the leading numerals can be further incremented.

[0044] Figure 6 A bedding product 200 is shown having a waterproof layer 240. In some embodiments, the waterproof layer 240 is part of the mounting base 210. For illustration, the waterproof layer 240 is configured to be located under the bed sheet 220 when the mounting base 210 is installed on the mattress.

[0045] In some embodiments, the waterproof layer 240 provides protection for the mattress (e.g., preventing the occurrence of a wet bed). Thus, in some cases, the sheet 220 can be removed for cleaning (e.g., by unzipping the zipper and disconnecting the sheet 220 from the mounting base 210) and the waterproof layer 240 can be wiped with a cleaning cloth without requiring additional cleaning of the mattress.

[0046] In some embodiments, the waterproof layer 240 comprises a waterproof fabric. As used herein, a waterproof fabric includes a fabric that is water-resistant. For example, the waterproof layer 240 may include polyurethane, vinyl, or any other suitable fabric for preventing or limiting moisture from being absorbed into the mattress.

[0047] In addition, other components of the bedding 200 (and other embodiments disclosed herein) such as the fitting base 210, the sheet 220, and the top piece 230 (and any additional sheets and / or covers as described herein) can include one or more of a variety of materials suitable for bedding. For example, in some embodiments, one or more of the components of the bedding include patterned cotton, knit, mink fabric, wool, cotton, silk, polyester, or any other fabric type suitable for bedding.

[0048] Figure 7 3 is a perspective view of a bedding product 300 according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. The bedding product 300 has a mounting base 310, a bed sheet 320 removably connectable to the mounting base 310, and a top piece 330 removably connectable to the mounting base 310. Figure 7 The view of FIG. 3 is an exploded view in which the bed sheet 320 is separated from the mounting base 310 , and the top member 330 is also separated from the mounting base 310 . Figure 7 The mounting base 310 is shown mounted around a mattress 50 on a bed frame.

[0049] Figure 7 The bedding product 300 is shown with a waterproof fabric 328. In some embodiments, the waterproof fabric 328 is part of the bed sheet 320. For illustration, the waterproof fabric 328 is the underside portion of the bed sheet 320. Thus, in some cases, when the bed sheet 320 is attached to the mounting base 310, the waterproof fabric 328 faces downwardly toward the mattress 50, while another layer of the bed sheet 320 (e.g., a comfort layer) faces upwardly and contacts a person using the bedding product 300.

[0050] In some embodiments, waterproof fabric 328 includes polyurethane, vinyl, or any other suitable fabric for preventing or limiting the absorption of moisture into the mattress.

[0051] Additionally, some embodiments of the bedding products described herein may include a waterproof fabric as part of the sheet and a waterproof layer as part of the fitted base. For example, in some embodiments, the bedding product includes Figure 6 The waterproof layer 240 and Figure 7 Waterproof fabric 328 is shown.

[0052] Figure 8 4 is a perspective view of a bedding product 400 according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. The bedding product 400 has a mounting base 410, a bed sheet 420 removably connectable to the mounting base 410, and a top piece 430 removably connectable to the mounting base 410. Figure 8 The view of FIG. 4 is an exploded view in which the bed sheet 420 is separated from the mounting base 410 , and the top member 430 is also separated from the mounting base 410 . Figure 8 The mounting base 410 is shown mounted around a mattress 50 on a bed frame.

[0053] Also like Figure 8As shown, the bedding 400 includes an additional sheet 450. In some embodiments, the additional sheet 450 can be coupled to the top member 430. For example, the additional sheet 450 can be removably connected to the top member 430 via a zipper tape. Specifically, in one or more embodiments, the additional sheet 450 includes a first portion 452 of a separate zipper tape, and the first portion 452 can be removably connected to a second portion 432 of the separate zipper tape located on the top member 430. In some cases, the second portion 432 of the separate zipper tape at least partially surrounds the periphery of the top member 430. For illustration, the second portion 432 of the separate zipper tape surrounds the top member 430. For example, the second portion 432 of the separate zipper tape surrounds the outer edge of the top member 430 and the outer edge of the additional sheet 450 and is connected to the first portion 452 of the separate zipper tape. In some cases, a user can pull zipper puller 431 around at least a portion (or outer edge) of top member 430 to couple first portion 452 of separate zipper tape to second portion 432 of separate zipper tape. In some cases, additional sheet 450 includes a single separate zipper tape to couple additional sheet 450 to top member 430 (i.e., no additional separate zipper tape).

[0054] In some embodiments, the width and length of the additional sheet 450 match the width and length of the top member 430, and the additional sheet 450 includes two extendable side portions (e.g., extendable side portions similar to the extendable side portions 135 of the top member 130). For example, the top member 430 and the additional sheet 450 can have a rectangular shape with matching width and length dimensions. Thus, in some cases, the top member 430 and the additional sheet 450 can be coupled together and can provide increased warmth and / or comfort to the user.

[0055] In some embodiments, the additional sheet 450 can be coupled to the mounting base 410 or the sheet 420. For example, the additional sheet 450 can be removably connected to an end of the mounting base 410. As another example, in one or more embodiments, the additional sheet 450 has a portion of a zipper tape that corresponds to a matching portion of the zipper tape on the mounting base 410 or the sheet 420. For example, in one or more embodiments, the additional sheet 450 is coupled to the mounting base 410, while the top piece 430 is coupled to the additional sheet 450 but not to the mounting base 410.

[0056] In some cases, the user may wish to cover the user during sleep with substantially all of the additional sheet 450 and only a portion of the top member 430. Thus, in some embodiments, the user can partially pull the top member 430 apart from the additional sheet 450 and allow the remaining portion of the top member 430 to drape away from the user while keeping the additional sheet 450 close to the user.

[0057] Additionally, in some cases, the user may pull the additional sheet 450 away from the top member 430 and disconnect the additional sheet 450 from the top member 430 while keeping the top member 430 connected to the mounting base 410, thereby facilitating washing of the additional sheet 450 (e.g., alone or with the sheet 420). Thus, the bedding 400 may facilitate cleaning by allowing the user to remove only those components that need to be washed while leaving the other components assembled on the bed.

[0058] Fig. 9 is a perspective view of a bedding product 500 according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. The bedding product 500 has a mounting base 510, a bed sheet 520 removably connectable to the mounting base 510, and a top piece 530 removably connectable to the mounting base 510. Fig. 9 The view of is an exploded view, in which the bed sheet 520 is separated from the fitting base 510, and the top member 530 is also separated from the fitting base 510. Fig. 9 A mounting base 510 is shown mounted around a mattress 50 on a bed frame.

[0059] like Fig. 9 As further shown, the bedding product 500 includes a cover 560 (e.g., a comforter, a duvet, an additional sheet, etc.). In some embodiments, the cover 560 can be removably connected to the top member 530. To illustrate, the cover 560 has a first portion 562 of a separate zipper tape that can be removably connected to a second portion 532 of the separate zipper tape located on the top member 530. Moreover, in some cases, the second portion 532 of the separate zipper tape at least partially surrounds a middle portion of the top member 530, rather than surrounding a first extendable side portion and a second extendable side portion (e.g., an extendable side portion similar to the extendable side portion 135 on the top member 130). Thus, for example, the cover 560 can be configured to cover a middle portion of the top member 530, but not the extendable side portions. This can facilitate pulling the bedding 500 into a finished configuration, wherein the side portions of the top piece 530 are tucked in and the cover 560 remains above the top piece 530.

[0060] In some embodiments, the cover 560 is an additional sheet (e.g., for a duvet). To further illustrate the connection between the cover 560 and the top member 530, Fig. 9 A single split zipper tape is shown for both components (e.g., as opposed to multiple zipper tapes). Thus, for example, a single split zipper tape couples a cover 560 (e.g., an additional sheet) to the top member 530. For example, a user can pull a zipper puller 561 around at least a portion of the cover 560 to couple a first portion 562 of the split zipper tape to a second portion 532 of the split zipper tape. In one or more embodiments, the single split zipper tape (including the first portion 562 and the second portion 532 of the single split zipper tape) is configured to at least partially surround a middle portion of the top member 530, rather than surrounding two extendable side portions of the top member 530.

[0061] Fig.10 600 according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. The bedding product 600 has a mounting base 610, a bed sheet 620 removably connectable to the mounting base 610, and a top piece 630 removably connectable to the mounting base 610. Fig.10 The view of is an exploded view, in which the bed sheet 620 is separated from the fitting base 610, and the top member 630 is also separated from the fitting base 610. Fig.10 A mounting base 610 is shown mounted around a mattress 50 on a bed frame.

[0062] like Fig.10 As further shown, the bedding article 600 includes a cover 660 (e.g., a comforter, a duvet, an additional sheet, etc.). In some embodiments, the cover 660 can be removably connected to the top member 630. To illustrate, the cover 660 has a first portion 662 of a separate zipper tape that can be removably connected to a second portion 632 of the separate zipper tape located on the top member 630. Moreover, in some cases, the second portion 632 of the separate zipper tape at least partially surrounds a middle portion of the top member 630, rather than surrounding an extendable side portion (e.g., an extendable side portion similar to the extendable side portion 135 on the top member 130). Thus, for example, the cover 660 can be configured to cover a middle portion of the top member 630, but not the extendable side portions. This can facilitate pulling the bedding 600 into a finished configuration with the side portions of the top piece 630 tucked in and the cover 660 retained over the top piece 630 .

[0063] In some embodiments, the cover 660 and the top piece 630 include additional zipper tapes. For example, the cover 660 can include a third portion of an additional split zipper tape that can be removably connected to a fourth portion of an additional split zipper tape located on the top piece 630. Furthermore, the fourth portion of the additional split zipper tape can be configured to at least partially surround a middle portion of the top piece 630, rather than surrounding the extendable side portions.

[0064] As described above, in some embodiments, the cover 660 is an additional sheet. Thus, in some cases, the additional sheet has a first separate zipper strip that couples a first side of the additional sheet to a first side of the top member 630 and a second separate zipper strip that couples a second side of the additional sheet to a second side of the top member 630.

[0065] In addition, the user can use the zipper puller 661 to close and / or open the zipper. Fig.10 As shown, a first zipper puller 661 can be used to couple a first portion 662 of a separate zipper tape located on the cover 660 with a second portion 632 of the separate zipper tape located on the top member 630. Additionally, a second zipper puller 661 can be used to couple a third portion of an additional separate zipper tape located on the cover 660 with a fourth portion of an additional separate zipper tape located on the top member 630. The two separate zipper tapes can each have their own corresponding stopper (e.g., a box-shaped bottom stopper) associated with the two zipper pullers 661. Thus, the respective portions of the separate zipper tapes can be disconnected and the cover 660 can be removed from the top member 630.
