Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a covering bedding.

Background Art

[0002] There are known covering beddings that cover the user's body to suppress excessive decrease in body temperature when sleeping in an environment where the temperature is relatively high, such as in summer or during the day, using blankets, towel quilts, etc. Since the user is likely to feel unwell when the abdomen gets cold during sleep, there are covering beddings that enhance the heat retention of the user's abdomen more than that of other parts. For example, in the covering bedding described in Patent Document 1, a heat retention sheet that is horizontally long and covers the range from the abdomen to the waist of the sleeper is attached to the part of the towel quilt body that is located from the abdomen to the waist of the sleeper. Also, in the covering bedding described in Patent Document 2, the thickness of the part of the towel quilt body that covers the user's abdomen is configured to be thicker than that of other parts.

[0003] All of the conventional covering beddings described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are defined such that the length in the vertical direction (the direction along the length of the user in the sleeping posture) is longer than the length from the head to the feet of the user, and the length in the horizontal direction (the direction orthogonal to the vertical direction) is longer than the horizontal length of the futon. Thus, the conventional covering beddings have a vertically long rectangular shape and are configured to be large enough to sufficiently cover from the head to the feet of the user.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] In an environment where the temperature is relatively high, in order to suppress an excessive rise in body temperature, a user may go to bed with their legs exposed outside the covering bedding. When using a conventional covering bedding, it is necessary to fold the covering bedding in the middle in the vertical direction, which has the disadvantage of increasing the thickness due to the folding. Therefore, it can be considered to shorten the length in the vertical direction of the covering bedding to a length that can cover the abdomen and expose the legs. However, covering beddings such as blankets and towel quilts are lighter compared to winter covering beddings (for example, futons). For this reason, with a covering bedding that simply has its length in the vertical direction shortened, there is a risk that when the user turns over, it will easily move and come off the body.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and its main object is to make it difficult for the covering bedding to come off the user's body when the user goes to bed.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 1 is a covering bedding that covers the abdomen of a user in a sleeping posture, and is composed of a rectangular fabric in which the length in the horizontal direction orthogonal to the vertical direction is longer than the length in the vertical direction along the height direction of the user, and at least includes a bedding body having a main body portion and a pair of cylindrical portions provided adjacent to the main body portion at both ends in the horizontal direction of the main body portion.

Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the covering bedding according to the present invention, it is possible to make it difficult for the covering bedding to come off the user's body when the user goes to bed.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. However, the components, types, combinations, shapes, relative arrangements, etc. described in this embodiment are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention only to these, but are merely illustrative examples. For example, the dimensions of each part in the embodiment are examples, and the present invention is not limited to such dimensions.

[0011] <First Embodiment> FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a hanging bedding 1 (bedding main body 2) according to the first embodiment as viewed obliquely from above, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the bedding main body 2 as viewed from the bottom side. The hanging bedding 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes at least a main body portion 21 having a horizontally long rectangular appearance in plan view, and a pair of cylindrical portions 22 (22L, 22R) provided at both lateral ends of the main body portion 21. Here, the lateral direction is the direction along the left - right direction in the supine posture of the user HU (see FIGS. 10 etc.), and the longitudinal direction is the direction along the height direction (the direction connecting the head and the feet) in the supine posture of the user HU. Therefore, the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction are orthogonal to each other. Incidentally, the exemplary hanging bedding 1 includes, as an option, a pair of cushion bodies 3(3L, 3R) and 3A shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. These cushion bodies 3 and 3A are detachably inserted into the respective cylindrical portions 22L and 22R.

[0012] <Bedding main body 2> Hereinafter, the bedding main body 2 will be described. FIG. 3 is a plan view of the bedding main body 2, FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the bedding main body 2, and FIG. 5 is a front view of the bedding main body 2. The main body portion 21 included in the bedding main body 2 is made of fabric and has a horizontally long rectangular appearance in plan view. Various fabrics such as pile fabric, shirring fabric, cotton fabric, and plain weave fabric can be used for the fabric constituting the main body portion 21. In the first embodiment, as the fabric, for example, a fabric having a plain weave fabric on the surface, a pile fabric on the back surface, and a hemmed outer peripheral edge is used. Note that if the entire bedding main body 2 including the main body portion 21 and the cylindrical portion 22 is made of a fabric having a far-infrared radiation effect or a fabric having a moisture absorption and heat generation effect, the abdomen of the user HU is kept warm by the radiated far-infrared rays and the heat generated due to sweating.

[0013] The longitudinal length H21 of the main body portion 21 is determined to be a length necessary to cover the abdomen of the user HU. For example, the longitudinal length is determined in the range of 30 cm to 50 cm, but is not limited to this length range. The lateral length W21 of the main body portion 21 is sufficiently longer than the longitudinal length. For example, the lateral length is determined to be about 150 cm to 180 cm, which is about three to six times the longitudinal length, but is not limited to this length range.

[0014] The main body portion 21 includes an intermediate portion 211 provided at an intermediate position in the lateral direction, and a pair of outer portions 212(212L, 212R) provided integrally with the intermediate portion 211 and extending outward in the lateral direction from both lateral ends of the intermediate portion 211.

[0015] The intermediate portion 211 has a horizontally long rectangular shape and is composed of two pieces of fabric stacked in the thickness direction. Therefore, the intermediate portion 211 is thicker than the outer portion 212. For convenience, the fabric constituting the intermediate portion 211 and described on the upper sides of FIGS. 3 and 5 is referred to as the first fabric 211U, and the fabric described on the lower sides of FIGS. 4 and 5 is referred to as the second fabric 211D. The horizontal length W211 of the intermediate portion 211 is, for example, approximately 1 / 3 of the horizontal length W21 of the main body portion 21, and the vertical length is made equal to the vertical length H21 of the main body portion 21, but is not limited to these lengths. The left edge 211L of the first fabric 211U is sewn to the second fabric 211D, and the right edge 211R of the second fabric 211D is sewn to the first fabric 211U. In other words, the first fabric 211U and the second fabric 211D are sewn to each other along the vertical direction at the position of the boundary between the intermediate portion 211 and each outer portion 212. Thereby, an accommodation space 213 is provided between the inner surface of the first fabric 211U and the inner surface of the second fabric 211D.

[0016] In the accommodation space 213, for example, a heat-insulating member for enhancing the heat retention of the abdomen of the user HU can be accommodated. The heat-insulating member is, for example, a towel or a warmer. The towel can be folded into a size that can be accommodated in the accommodation space 213 and accommodated in the accommodation space 213, so that an air layer is formed in the accommodation space 213, thereby enhancing the heat retention. Since the warmer is a heating element, the abdomen of the user HU can be heated by accommodating it in the accommodation space 213. Any type of warmer can be used. For example, a warmer that utilizes the oxidation reaction of an organic solvent such as benzene or the oxidation reaction of iron can be used. Furthermore, a warmer that gradually releases the heat accumulated in advance may be used.

[0017] The outer portion 212 is composed of a single piece of fabric. In the hanging bedding 1 of the first embodiment, the left outer portion 212L located on the left side of the intermediate portion 211 is composed of the same fabric as the second fabric 211D of the intermediate portion 211. The lateral length W212L of the left outer portion 212L is approximately 1 / 3 of the lateral length W21 of the main body portion 21, and the longitudinal length is equal to the longitudinal length H21 of the main body portion 21. The right outer portion 212R located on the right side of the intermediate portion 211 is composed of the same fabric as the first fabric 211U of the intermediate portion 211. The lateral length W212R of the right outer portion 212R is also approximately 1 / 3 of the lateral length W21 of the main body portion 21, and the longitudinal length is equal to the lateral length W21 of the main body portion 21.

[0018] The pair of tubular portions 22 provided in the bedding main body 2 includes a left tubular portion 22L provided at the left end of the main body portion 21 and a right tubular portion 22R provided at the right end of the main body portion 21. Each of the tubular portions 22L, 22R is configured in a tubular shape into which a columnar cushion body 3 having a diameter of about 15 cm to 30 cm can be detachably inserted.

[0019] In the hanging bedding 1 according to the first embodiment, the left tubular portion 22L is provided integrally with the left outer portion 212L of the main body portion 21, and the right tubular portion 22R is provided integrally with the right outer portion 212R of the main body portion 21. For example, the left tubular portion 22L is produced by folding back the fabric constituting the left tubular portion 22L (see the left side portion 41 of the left fabric piece 4, FIGS. 14 and 15) to the right side and sewing the left edge of the fabric along the longitudinal direction with respect to the fabric at a position that becomes the boundary between the left tubular portion 22L and the left outer portion 212L. Similarly, the right tubular portion 22R is produced by folding back the fabric constituting the right tubular portion 22R (see the right side portion 51 of the right fabric piece 5, FIGS. 16 and 17) to the left side and sewing the right edge of the fabric along the longitudinal direction with respect to the fabric at a position that becomes the boundary between the right tubular portion 22R and the right outer portion 212R.

[0020] Note that the manufacturing procedure of each cylindrical portion 22L and 22R is not limited to the above-described procedure. For example, the left cylindrical portion 22L and the right cylindrical portion 22R may be manufactured separately from the main body portion 21, and the left cylindrical portion 22L may be sewn to the left edge of the left outer portion 212L, and the right cylindrical portion 22R may be sewn to the right edge of the right outer portion 212R.

[0021] <Cushion bodies 3 and 3A> FIG. 6(a) is a perspective view of the towel 31 constituting the cushion body 3, FIG. 6(b) is a perspective view of the cushion body 3 (3L, 3R) manufactured by the towel 31, and FIG. 7 is a perspective view for explaining another example of the cushion body 3A. The cushion body 3 shown in FIG. 6 includes a left cushion body 3L inserted into the left cylindrical portion 22L provided in the bedding main body 2, and a right cushion body 3R inserted into the right cylindrical portion 22R. In the draped bedding 1 according to the first embodiment, the left cushion body 3L and the right cushion body 3R have the same configuration and are manufactured by a towel. For convenience, the left cushion body 3L and the right cushion body 3R will be collectively described as the cushion body 3.

[0022] The cushion body 3 is manufactured, for example, by winding the towel 31 in a spiral shape from one end to the other end as shown in FIG. 6(a) to form a cylindrical shape as shown in FIG. 6(b). Therefore, the length of the short piece of the towel 31 is aligned with the longitudinal length of the cylindrical portion 22, and the length of the long piece of the towel is set to a length such that the diameter when formed into a cylindrical shape can be inserted into the cylindrical portion 22. Note that the cushion body 3 is not limited to a cylindrical shape formed from the towel 31. For example, like the cushion body 3A of another example shown in FIG. 7, it may be a cylindrical bag body filled with a filling material. In the cushion body 3A of another example, various filling materials such as cotton, buckwheat husks, and short resin tubes can be used.

[0023] FIG. 8 is a partially enlarged perspective view of the state where the cushion body 3 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 22 of the bedding main body 2, and FIG. 9 is a partially enlarged view of the state where the cushion body 3 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 22 of the bedding main body 2. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, by inserting the cushion body 3 into the cylindrical portion 22 (left cylindrical portion 22L in the illustrated example), the cylindrical portion 22 bulges into a cylindrical shape and its weight increases due to the cushion body 3.

[0024] <Description of the usage state> Next, the usage state of the hanging bedding 1 will be described. FIG. 10(a) is a perspective view for explaining the first usage state of the hanging bedding 1, FIG. 10(b) is a plan view for explaining the first usage state of the hanging bedding 1, FIG. 11(a) is a perspective view for explaining the second usage state of the hanging bedding 1, FIG. 11(b) is a plan view for explaining the second usage state of the hanging bedding 1, FIG. 12(a) is a view for explaining the state where the hanging bedding 1 is used as a lumbar roll, FIG. 12(b) is a view for explaining the state where the main body portion 21 of the hanging bedding 1 is positioned on the back side of the user HU and the cylindrical portion 22 is positioned on the abdominal side of the user HU for use, FIG. 13(a) is a perspective view for explaining the state where the hanging bedding 1 is used as a neck pillow, and FIG. 13(b) is a partially enlarged view in the case where the hanging bedding 1 is used as a neck pillow.

[0025] FIGS. 10(a) and 10(b) show a state where the user HU lies on his / her back on the mattress MT, places the back of his / her head on the pillow PW, and drapes the hanging bedding 1 over the abdomen of the user HU. The user HU inserts the cushion bodies 3L and 3R into the respective cylindrical portions 22L and 22R of the bedding main body 2, and hangs the main body portion 21 (intermediate portion 211) of the bedding main body 2 on the abdomen. At this time, if there is an excess of the outer portion 212 of the bedding main body 2, the excess portion of the outer portion 212 is wound around the outer periphery of the respective cylindrical portions 22L and 22R, and the respective cylindrical portions 22L and 22R are positioned near the flanks of the user HU. The user HU goes to bed with the respective cylindrical portions 22L and 22R sandwiched between the flanks and each arm.

[0026] During sleep, since the positions of the respective cylindrical portions 22L and 22R are fixed by both arms of the user HU, it becomes difficult for the main body portion 21 to shift from the abdomen of the user HU. Also, when the user HU turns over, since the respective cylindrical portions 22L and 22R into which the cushion bodies 3L and 3R are inserted function as weights, it becomes difficult for the main body portion 21 (intermediate portion 211) to shift from the abdomen of the user HU. Thus, according to the draped bedding 1 of the first embodiment, it is possible to make it difficult for the draped bedding 1 to come off the body of the user HU during sleep. Also, as described with reference to FIG. 5, since the intermediate portion 211 of the main body portion 21 is thicker than the outer portions 212 (left outer portion 212L and right outer portion 212R), it is possible to prevent the abdomen of the user HU from getting cold. Further, by accommodating a heat-insulating member (such as a towel or a warmer) in the accommodation space 213 provided in the intermediate portion 211 of the main body portion 21, it is possible to effectively suppress the cooling of the abdomen of the user HU.

[0027] Each of the cushion bodies 3L and 3R is detachable from the respective cylindrical portions 22L and 22R of the bedding main body 2. Therefore, when each of the cushion bodies 3L and 3R is not required, it may be used in a state where each of the cushion bodies 3L and 3R is removed from the respective cylindrical portions 22L and 22R. For example, as shown in FIGS. 11(a) and 11(b), each arm of the user HU may be inserted into the respective cylindrical portions 22L and 22R for use. Thus, when each arm of the user HU is inserted into the respective cylindrical portions 22L and 22R, when the user HU assumes a supine position, the main body portion 21 (intermediate portion 211) of the bedding main body 2 covers the abdomen of the user HU, improving the usability. When the user HU with each arm inserted into the respective cylindrical portions 22L and 22R stands and moves, by hanging the main body portion 21 of the bedding main body 2 behind the neck, the inconvenience of being difficult to move due to the bedding main body 2 is suppressed. Of course, it is also possible to use the draped bedding 1 by draping it over the user HU without inserting each arm of the user HU into the respective cylindrical portions 22L and 22R.

[0028] Further, a thin cushion having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, a towel folded into a rectangular shape, etc. are accommodated inside the accommodation space 213, and the left side portion (left outer side portion 212L, left cylinder portion 22L) and the right side portion (right outer side portion 212R, right cylinder portion 22R) of the bedding body 2 are folded back to the intermediate side on the left and right, so that the hanging bedding 1 (bedding body 2) can be used as a waist wrap. As shown in FIG. 12(a), when the hanging bedding 1 is used as a waist wrap, the hanging bedding 1 is inserted into the gap between the futon such as the mattress MT and the waist of the user HU. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12(b), the main body portion 21 of the hanging bedding 1 may be positioned between the back of the user HU and the futon such as the mattress MT, and the cylinder portions 22 (22L, 22R) may be positioned on the abdomen of the user HU for use. When used in such a state, since the abdomen and the back of the user HU can be effectively kept warm by the hanging bedding 1 (bedding body 2), it is possible to suppress physical discomfort due to cold sleep.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 13(a), this hanging bedding 1 can also be used as a neck pillow. For example, a cushion body 3 is inserted into one of the left cylinder portion 22L and the right cylinder portion 22R, the cushion body 3 is not inserted into the other of the left cylinder portion 22L and the right cylinder portion 22R, and furthermore, for one of the left cylinder portion 22L and the right cylinder portion 22R, the main body portion 21 of the bedding body 2 is wound around to adjust the thickness. FIGS. 13(a) and (b) show an example in which the cushion body 3 is inserted into the left cylinder portion 22L, the cushion body 3 is not inserted into the right cylinder portion 22R, and the main body portion 21 is wound around the left cylinder portion 22L to adjust the thickness. By applying the left cylinder portion 22L with adjusted thickness to the neck of the user HU, the hanging bedding 1 can be used as a neck pillow.

[0030] <Description of the manufacturing procedure> Next, the manufacturing procedure of the hanging bedding 1 according to the first embodiment will be described. Figs. 14(a) and (b) are diagrams for explaining the folding process for the left side portion 41 of the left fabric piece 4 which is a constituent material of the bedding body 2, and Figs. 15(a) and (b) are diagrams for explaining the sewing process for the left side portion 41 of the left fabric piece 4. Figs. 16(a) and (b) are diagrams for explaining the folding process for the right side portion 51 of the right fabric piece 5 which is a constituent material of the bedding body 2, and Figs. 17(a) and (b) are diagrams for explaining the sewing process for the right side portion 51 of the right fabric piece 5. Figs. 18(a) and (b) are diagrams for explaining the sewing process between the left fabric piece 4 and the right fabric piece 5.

[0031] The bedding body 2 of the hanging bedding 1 is produced using, for example, the left fabric piece 4 shown in Figs. 14 and 15 and the right fabric piece 5 shown in Figs. 16 and 17.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 14(a), the left fabric piece 4 is composed of a horizontally long rectangular fabric. The fabric used is, for example, a fabric with a plain weave on the front surface, a pile fabric on the back surface, and a border is provided on the outer peripheral edge. The size of the left fabric piece 4 is such that the longitudinal length H4 in the longitudinal direction is the same as the longitudinal length H21 of the main body portion 21 of the bedding body 2. The transverse length W4 of the left fabric piece 4 is the sum of the transverse length W211 of the intermediate portion 211 in the main body portion 21, the transverse length W212L of the left outer side portion 212L, and the perimeter of the opening edge in the left cylindrical portion 22L. As shown in Figs. 14(a) and (b), the left side portion 41 of the left fabric piece 4 is folded so that the left end edge 4L of the left fabric piece 4 is located at the boundary BD1 (also shown in Fig. 4) between the left cylindrical portion 22L and the main body portion 21. Then, as shown in Figs. 15(a) and (b), the left end edge 4L of the left fabric piece 4 and the left end edge of the portion 42 that constitutes a part of the main body portion 21 are sewn together along the longitudinal direction. Thereby, the left cylindrical portion 22L is integrally provided adjacent to the left side of the portion 42 that constitutes a part of the main body portion 21.

[0033] The right fabric piece 5 is also produced in the same procedure as the left fabric piece 4. As shown in Fig. 16(a), the right fabric piece 5 is composed of a horizontally long rectangular fabric similar to the left fabric piece 4. The size of the right fabric piece 5 is such that the longitudinal length H5 is the same as the longitudinal length H21 of the main body portion 21 of the bedding body 2. The horizontal length W5 of the right fabric piece 5 is the sum of the horizontal length W211 of the intermediate portion 211 in the main body portion 21, the horizontal length W212R of the right outer portion 212R, and the perimeter of the opening edge in the right cylindrical portion 22R. As shown in Figs. 16(a) and (b), the right side portion 51 of the right fabric piece 5 is folded back so that the right edge 5R of the right fabric piece 5 is located at the boundary BD2 (also shown in Fig. 4) between the right cylindrical portion 22R and the main body portion 21. Then, as shown in Figs. 17(a) and (b), the right edge 5R of the right fabric piece 5 and the portion 52 constituting a part of the main body portion 21 are sewn together along the longitudinal direction. Thereby, the right cylindrical portion 22R is integrally provided adjacent to the right side of the portion 52 constituting a part of the main body portion 21.

[0034] Next, the above-described left fabric piece 4 and right fabric piece 5 are sewn together. For example, as shown in Figs. 18(a) and (b), the left edge 5L of the right fabric piece 5 is positioned on the front surface side of the left fabric piece 4. Specifically, the left edge 5L of the right fabric piece 5 is positioned at the boundary BD3 between the portion 421 constituting the left outer portion 212L of the main body portion 21 and the portion 422 constituting the intermediate portion 211 in the left fabric piece 4. Accordingly, the right edge 4R of the left fabric piece 4 is positioned on the back surface side of the right fabric piece 5, at the boundary BD4 between the portion 521 constituting the intermediate portion 211 of the main body portion 21 and the portion 522 constituting the right outer portion 212R in the right fabric piece 5. Thereafter, the left edge 5L of the right fabric piece 5 is sewn to the left fabric piece 4 along the longitudinal direction, and the right edge 4R of the left fabric piece 4 is sewn to the right fabric piece 5 along the longitudinal direction.

[0035] Thereby, the bedding body 2 of the hanging bedding 1 is completed. Regarding the cushion body 3, as described above, for example, it can be produced by winding the towel 31 in a spiral shape.

[0036] <Second Embodiment> The hanging bedding 1 of the above-described first embodiment had a configuration in which the middle portion 211 of the main body portion 21 was thicker than the outer portions 212 (left outer portion 212L and right outer portion 212R), but it is not limited to this configuration. For example, the middle portion of the main body portion may have the same thickness as the outer portions. Hereinafter, a hanging bedding 1A of a second embodiment in which the middle portion of the main body portion has the same thickness as the outer portions will be described. FIG. 19(a) is a plan view of the hanging bedding 1A according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 19(b) is a front view of the hanging bedding 1A according to the second embodiment.

[0037] As shown in FIGS. 19(a) and 19(b), the hanging bedding 1A according to the second embodiment has a structural feature in that the main body portion 21A provided in the bedding main body 2A is formed of a single rectangular fabric that is horizontally long. For example, in the hanging bedding 1A, the left side portion of a single fabric is folded back to the right side, and the left edge of the fabric is sewn to the fabric along the vertical direction to form the left cylindrical portion 22AL. Also, the right side portion of a single fabric is folded back to the left side, and the right edge of the fabric is sewn to the fabric along the vertical direction to form the right cylindrical portion 22AR. Then, if necessary, the cushion body 3 is inserted into the left cylindrical portion 22AL and the right cylindrical portion 22AR of the bedding main body 2A. Furthermore, in the hanging bedding 1A, a seam 23A is provided along the vertical direction at the center in the horizontal direction (left-right center) of the main body portion 21A. The seam 23A serves as an indicator showing the center in the horizontal direction of the main body portion 21A.

[0038] Even in the hanging bedding 1A according to the second embodiment having the above configuration, similar to the hanging bedding 1 according to the first embodiment, by inserting the cushion body 3 into each of the cylindrical portions 22AL and 22AR or inserting the user HU's arm, it becomes difficult for the hanging bedding 1A to come off the user HU's body when the user HU is sleeping. Furthermore, since the user can immediately understand the center position in the horizontal direction of the main body portion 21A by the seam 23A, the hanging bedding 1A can be hung in the correct position by positioning the seam 23A on the abdomen. In the case of the draped bedding 1A, the seam 23A is used as an indicator showing the central position in the lateral direction of the main body portion 21A. However, other forms of indicators may be used as long as they can indicate the central position in the lateral direction.

[0039] <Third Embodiment> The draped bedding 1A of the second embodiment described above has a main body portion 21A formed of a single rectangular fabric that is horizontally long, but is not limited to this configuration. For example, like the draped bedding 1 of the first embodiment, the intermediate portion can be configured to be thicker than the outer portion. Hereinafter, a draped bedding 1B of the third embodiment in which the intermediate portion of the main body portion is thicker than the outer portion will be described. FIG. 20(a) is a plan view of the draped bedding 1B according to the third embodiment, and FIG. 20(b) is a front view of the bedding main body 2B of the draped bedding 1B according to the third embodiment.

[0040] As shown in FIGS. 20(a) and 20(b), the draped bedding 1B according to the third embodiment has a structural feature in that a fabric 23B is sewn to the intermediate portion of the main body portion 21B included in the bedding main body 2B, and the intermediate portion is made double-layered. The left edge 231BL and the right edge 231BR of the fabric 23B are respectively sewn to the fabric constituting the main body portion 21B.
