Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] SUMMARY The present disclosure relates to bedding and inserts for containing contents within the interior space of the bedding. [Background technology]

[0002] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 2002-223917 describes a pillow capable of containing stuffing inside. The pillow comprises a pair of upper and lower bag-shaped side fabrics that form an internal space, a gore cloth that extends vertically in the internal space, and a separate sheet that further divides the internal space into upper and lower sections. The pillow has seven small compartments formed by the gore cloth, each of which is provided with a zipper.

[0003] Each compartment can be filled by opening the zipper. This pillow can fit different types of filling into its seven compartments, allowing it to fit the user's body shape. The compartments are divided into two layers, upper and lower, by the aforementioned separate sheet.

[0004] JP 2020-25750 A describes a bag whose interior space is divided into multiple vertically arranged regions. The bag contains multiple first chambers and second chambers below the multiple first chambers. A partition fabric is provided between the first and second chambers, and the multiple first chambers are separated by a lower gusset fabric extending upward from the partition fabric.

[0005] A first opening and a line fastener communicating with the first chamber are formed on the top surface of the bag, and the first opening and line fastener are provided directly above the first chamber. A first tubular cloth having an inner space communicating with the first chamber is attached to the first opening. A second tubular cloth extends upward from a partition fabric that forms a boundary with the second chamber in the first chamber, and the second tubular cloth protrudes upward from the first tubular cloth through the inner space of the first tubular cloth.

[0006] The inner space of the first tubular cloth is connected to the first chamber, and the inner space of the second tubular cloth is connected to the second chamber. Therefore, padding can be placed into the first or second chamber through the opening at the top of the first chamber via the first or second tubular cloth. After padding is placed in the second chamber, the second tubular cloth is rolled up and placed inside the first chamber. Then, the first tubular cloth is also rolled up and placed inside the first chamber, and the first opening is closed by closing the fastener directly above the first chamber.

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-223917 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-25750 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] In the pillow described above, the compartment is divided into two layers, an upper layer and an lower layer, by a separate sheet, and stuffing is contained in each of the two layers. However, when placing contents such as stuffing in the lower layer of the compartment, it is only possible to do so by opening the zipper and flipping up the separate sheet inside the compartment. This creates the problem that it is not easy to put contents in or take them out.

[0009] In the above-described bag, the first tubular cloth and the second tubular cloth protrude from the opening at the top of the first compartment. Contents can be placed into the first compartment through the first tubular cloth protruding from the first compartment, and contents can be placed into the second compartment through the second tubular cloth protruding from the first compartment. However, because the first tubular cloth, the second tubular cloth, and the fastener that opens and closes the first opening are located directly above the first compartment, there is a problem in that placing contents into the first and second compartments is cumbersome.

[0010] Furthermore, in the bag described above, after the contents are placed in the second chamber, the second tubular cloth is rolled up and placed inside the first chamber, the first tubular cloth is also rolled up and placed inside the first chamber, and then the line fastener directly above the first chamber is closed. Therefore, because the second tubular cloth and the first tubular cloth are rolled up and placed inside the first chamber and the line fastener directly above the first chamber is closed, a problem can arise in that the first chamber protrudes when the line fastener is closed. If the first chamber protrudes, an unintended portion of the bag will protrude, which can result in an inability to achieve a good fit to the user's body.

[0011] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned bag, the first chamber contains the rolled-up second tubular cloth, which in turn contains the first tubular cloth, resulting in the inability to adequately contain the contents. Furthermore, containing the first and second tubular cloths in the first chamber results in insufficient fluidity of the contents. Therefore, when the user turns over in their sleep, the contents do not flow sufficiently, which can result in an insufficient sleeping comfort.

[0012] The present disclosure aims to provide bedding and an insert member that allows contents to be easily inserted and removed and that allows the contents to flow sufficiently. [Means for solving the problem]

[0013] A bedding according to one aspect of the present disclosure is fabric bedding that extends in a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction and has a thickness in a third direction intersecting both the first and second directions, and includes a bag body having an internal space capable of accommodating contents, a three-dimensional gusset that extends in the internal space in the third direction and divides the internal space into a plurality of regions, a dividing section that divides the region into a first region located on one side of the third direction and a second region located on the other side of the third direction, and an insert member that is capable of appearing and disappearing in the first region and has a first fabric section that forms a first insertion opening that communicates with the first region and a second fabric section that forms a second insertion opening that communicates with the second region, the second fabric section being connected to the three-dimensional gusset and being capable of appearing and disappearing in and out of the bag body from the three-dimensional gusset. The bag body has a plurality of first regions, and the insert member has a pair of second fabric portions sandwiching the three-dimensional gusset and a pair of first fabric portions sandwiching the pair of second fabric portions, one of the pair of first fabric portions communicating with one of the plurality of first regions, and the other of the pair of first fabric portions communicating with the other of the plurality of first regions. .

[0014] In this bedding, the bag body has an internal space capable of accommodating contents, and a three-dimensional gusset extending in a third direction divides the internal space into multiple regions. Each of the multiple regions divided by the internal space is divided by a dividing section into a first region located on one side in the third direction and a second region located on the other side in the third direction. An insert member is retractable from the first region, and the insert member includes a first fabric portion forming a first insertion opening communicating with the first region and a second fabric portion forming a second insertion opening communicating with the second region. Therefore, contents can be accommodated in the first region located on one side in the third direction through the first insertion opening, and contents can be accommodated in the second region located on the other side in the third direction through the second insertion opening. This allows contents to be accommodated in each of the first and second regions, which form a two-layer structure. Therefore, the type and amount of contents can be changed between the first and second regions, allowing the bedding to be customized to suit the user's body, etc. The second fabric portion is connected to a three-dimensional gusset extending in the third direction and is retractable into and out of the bag body from the three-dimensional gusset. Therefore, the second fabric portion is positioned along the three-dimensional gusset and can be extended and retracted along the three-dimensional gusset extending in the third direction, thereby avoiding the problem of the bag body unintentionally protruding. Furthermore, since the second fabric portion extends and retracts along the three-dimensional gusset and the first fabric portion can be extended and retracted adjacent to the second fabric portion, sufficient space for storing contents can be secured in each of the first and second regions. Therefore, sufficient fluidity of the contents stored in each of the first and second regions can be secured. This allows the user to enjoy a comfortable sleep while obtaining a good fit to the user's body.

[0015] Another aspect of the present disclosure provides bedding made of cloth that extends in a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction and has a thickness in a third direction intersecting both the first and second directions, and includes a bag body having an internal space capable of accommodating contents, a three-dimensional gusset that extends in the internal space in the third direction and divides the internal space into a plurality of regions, a plurality of dividing sections that divide the region into a first region located on one side of the third direction, a second region located in the center of the bag body in the third direction, and a third region located on the other side of the third direction, and an insert member that is capable of extending in and out of the first region and has a first fabric section that forms a first insertion opening that communicates with the first region, a second fabric section that forms a second insertion opening that communicates with the second region, and a third fabric section that forms a third insertion opening that communicates with the third region, and the third fabric section is connected to the three-dimensional gusset and is capable of retracting in and out of the bag body from the three-dimensional gusset.

[0016] In this bedding, the bag body has a third region located on the opposite side of the first region from the second region, and the insert member has a third fabric portion forming a third insertion opening that communicates with the third region. In this case, contents can be placed in the third region located on the opposite side of the first region from the second region through the third insertion opening, so that contents can be placed in each of the first, second, and third regions, which form a three-layer structure. Therefore, the type and amount of contents can be changed in the first, second, and third regions, allowing for a wider range of customization of the bedding.

[0017] Insert In the insertion member, one of the pair of first fabric portions communicates with one of the first regions, and the other of the pair of first fabric portions communicates with the other of the first regions, so that contents can be stored in each of the pair of first regions from one insertion member.

[0018] The insert member according to the present disclosure is an insert member attached to a bag body of cloth bedding that extends in a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction and has a thickness in a third direction intersecting both the first and second directions, wherein the internal space of the bag body is divided into a plurality of regions by a three-dimensional gusset, and the regions are divided by a dividing portion into a first region located on one side of the third direction and a second region located on the other side of the third direction, and the insert member comprises a first fabric portion that forms a first insertion opening that communicates with the first region, and a second fabric portion that forms a second insertion opening that communicates with the second region, and the second fabric portion is connected to the three-dimensional gusset and can be inserted into and removed from the three-dimensional gusset. The bag body has a plurality of first regions, and the insert member has a pair of second fabric portions sandwiching a three-dimensional gusset and a pair of first fabric portions sandwiching the pair of second fabric portions, one of the pair of first fabric portions communicating with one of the plurality of first regions, and the other of the pair of first fabric portions communicating with the other of the plurality of first regions. .

[0019] This insert member is retractable from the bag body of the fabric bedding. The insert member includes a first fabric portion forming a first insertion opening communicating with a first region located on one side in the third direction, and a second fabric portion forming a second insertion opening communicating with a second region located on the other side in the third direction. Therefore, contents can be stored in the first region through the first insertion opening, and contents can be stored in the second region through the second insertion opening. This allows contents to be stored in each of the first and second regions, which have a two-layer structure. This allows the type and amount of contents to be varied between the first and second regions, enabling the bedding to be customized to suit the user's body, etc. The second fabric portion is connected to a three-dimensional gusset extending in the third direction and retractable from the three-dimensional gusset into and out of the bag body. In other words, the second fabric portion is positioned along the three-dimensional gusset and retracts along the three-dimensional gusset extending in the third direction, thereby avoiding the problem of the bag body unintentionally protruding. Furthermore, the second fabric portion extends along the three-dimensional gusset, and the first fabric portion can extend and retract adjacent to the second fabric portion. This ensures sufficient space for storing contents in each of the first and second regions, ensuring sufficient fluidity for the contents stored in each of the first and second regions. As a result, the mattress provides a comfortable fit to the user's body and a good sleeping experience. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] According to the present disclosure, contents can be easily taken in and out, and the contents can be sufficiently circulated. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of bedding and insert members according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, identical or corresponding elements are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations will be omitted as appropriate. In addition, the drawings may be partially simplified or exaggerated for ease of understanding, and dimensional proportions and the like are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0023] In this disclosure, "bedding" refers to something that is placed against the body when resting. Examples of "bedding" include pillows, comforters, mattresses, cushions, bed pads, mattresses, and cushions. "Pillows" refer to bedding on which the user's head rests, and include, for example, pillows for sleeping, pillows for naps, and portable pillows, as well as cushions.

[0024] Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a pillow 1, which is an example of bedding according to an embodiment. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the side of the pillow 1 opposite to that shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the pillow 1 includes a pouch 2. The pouch 2 can be housed in, for example, a pillowcase, and is used in the state housed in the pillowcase.

[0025] For example, the bag body 2 includes an outer fabric 3 facing vertically upward and a lining fabric 4 facing the opposite side of the outer fabric 3. As an example, the outer fabric 3 is quilted, and the lining fabric 4 is made of unquilted fabric. The bag body 2 extends in both a first direction D1 and a second direction D2 intersecting the first direction D1. For example, the first direction D1 is the widthwise direction of the bag body 2, and the second direction D2 is the lengthwise direction of the bag body 2. The bag body 2 includes a central portion 5 located in the center of the second direction D2, and a pair of side portions 6 provided on both ends of the central portion 5 in the second direction D2.

[0026] The bag body 2 is, for example, symmetrical with respect to the central portion 5. The central portion 5 has a central portion 5b located in the center in the first direction D1 and side portions 5c located on both sides of the central portion 5b in the first direction D1. Each side portion 6 has a left-right central portion 6b located in the center in the first direction D1 and corner portions 6c located on both sides of the left-right central portion 6b in the first direction D1.

[0027] As described above, the bag body 2 has nine regions A, including the central portion 5b, a pair of side portions 5c, a pair of left and right central portions 6b, and four corner portions 6c. Seams 7 are formed at the boundaries between one region A and another region A. In this embodiment, the bag body 2 has a plurality of seams 7 extending in the second direction D2 and a plurality of seams 7 extending in the first direction D1.

[0028] Each region A is, for example, rectangular in shape with long sides extending in the second direction D2 and short sides extending in the first direction D1. However, the shape of the region A is not limited to a rectangular shape and can be modified as appropriate. In the present disclosure, "region" refers to multiple regions partitioned into sections of the bedding in a plan view, and the "regions" are partitioned by seams or three-dimensional gussets 10 (see FIG. 4) described below. In this embodiment, some of the multiple three-dimensional gussets 10 form the side surfaces of the bag body 2 (surfaces facing either the first direction D1 or the second direction D2).

[0029] FIG. 3 is a plan view schematically showing the pillow 1. The outer fabric 3 is provided with a zipper 8 for opening and closing the region A. For example, the pillow 1 has a plurality of zippers 8, each of which is provided in each region A. In this embodiment, the zippers 8 are provided on an extension of the seam 7. For example, the zippers 8 are arranged linearly along the seam 7 located on one side of the region A in the first direction D1 (the upper side in FIG. 3).

[0030] Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in Fig. 3. Note that, for ease of understanding, Fig. 4 omits the illustration of the fastener 8 and an insert member of this embodiment, which will be described later. As shown in Fig. 4, the bag body 2 has an internal space S capable of accommodating contents 9. The bag body 2 also has a three-dimensional gusset 10 extending in a third direction D3 in the internal space S, and a dividing portion 11 that divides the region A into a pair of upper and lower regions, a first region A1 and a second region A2. The third direction D3 is a direction that intersects both the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, and coincides with the vertical direction when the pillow 1 is placed, for example.

[0031] The three-dimensional gusset 10 divides the internal space S into a plurality of regions A. The three-dimensional gusset 10 includes a three-dimensional gusset extending in both the first direction D1 and the third direction D3, and a three-dimensional gusset extending in both the second direction D2 and the third direction D3. For simplicity, FIG. 4 illustrates only the three-dimensional gusset 10 extending in both the first direction D1 and the third direction D3.

[0032] The three-dimensional gusset 10 stands upright in the internal space S of the bag body 2. The three-dimensional gusset 10 has, for example, a plate (or sheet) shape. As an example, the three-dimensional gusset 10 may be made of a fabric that is harder than the bag body 2. In this case, it is possible to more reliably prevent the three-dimensional gusset 10 from becoming worn.

[0033] In each region A, the dividing portion 11 extends in both the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. In this embodiment, the divided regions A are further divided into a first region A1 and a second region A2 by the dividing portion 11. The bag body 2 has a third region A3 located on the opposite side of the first region A1 from the second region A2. The dividing portion 11 is also interposed, for example, between the second region A2 and the third region A3.

[0034] When the bag body 2 is placed with the outer fabric 3 facing upward, the third area A3 is located below the first area A1 and the second area A2. The third area A3 does not have a three-dimensional gusset 10, and is, for example, a single space that extends over the entire first direction D1 and the second direction D2 of the pillow 1. In the pillow 1, each of the nine divided areas A is divided into a first area A1 and a second area A2 by a dividing portion 11, and the third area A3 is further formed. Therefore, the pillow 1 has 19 spaces inside in which contents 9 can be stored.

[0035] The contents 9 include, for example, a first content 9b and a second content 9c. For example, the first content 9b is contained in the third area A3. The first content 9b is made of, for example, a material softer than the material of the second content 9c. For example, the first content 9b is feathers.

[0036] The second contents 9c are contained in, for example, each area A (first area A1 and second area A2). The second contents 9c are, for example, hollow granular materials. As a specific example, the second contents 9c are pipe materials or beads. As an example, the second contents 9c may be cylindrical polyethylene pipe materials.

[0037] However, the second contents 9c may be, for example, solid granular materials. Examples of solid granular materials include buckwheat husks, cypress, and adzuki beans. Furthermore, the second contents 9c may be cotton, which is harder than the first contents 9b. In this way, the type of contents 9 can be changed as appropriate and is not particularly limited.

[0038] 3 schematically shows the insert member 20 according to this embodiment. The insert member 20 is capable of freely protruding from and retracting from the bag body 2 when the fastener 8 is open. The insert member 20 is formed, for example, on an extension of the seam 7. For example, the insert member 20 is formed linearly along the second direction D2.

[0039] The insert member 20 includes a first insert member 20A that allows the contents 9 to be inserted and removed from the first area A1 and the second area A2, respectively, and a second insert member 20B that allows the contents 9 to be inserted and removed from the first area A1, the second area A2, and the third area A3, respectively. Each of the first insert member 20A and the second insert member 20B is made of multiple pieces of fabric. The number of pieces of fabric in the second insert member 20B is greater than the number of pieces of fabric in the first insert member 20A.

[0040] The pillow 1 includes, for example, a plurality of first insertion members 20A and one second insertion member 20B. As an example, the second insertion member 20B is provided in both side portions 5c located on one side of the central portion 5b in the first direction D1 (the upper side in FIG. 3). The second insertion member 20B is provided on the back side of the center in the longitudinal direction of the pillow 1 (the portion on which the top of the head of the pillow user rests, or the end portion of the pillow 1 in the first direction D1). As described above, the number of fabric layers in the second insertion member 20B is greater than the number of fabric layers in the first insertion member 20A. Therefore, by arranging the second insertion member 20B at the end portion of the pillow 1 in the first direction D1, the second insertion member 20B, which has more fabric layers, is less likely to be a hindrance to the user. However, the arrangement position of the second insertion member 20B is not limited to the above example and can be changed as appropriate.

[0041] Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the first insertion member 20A. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the first insertion member 20A and a portion of the bag body 2 cut along a plane extending in the first direction D1 and the third direction D3. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the first insertion member 20A allows contents 9 to be put into and taken out of the first region A1 and the second region A2 located below the first region A1.

[0042] The first insertion member 20A can be protruded outward from the bag body 2 with the fastener 8 open. The first insertion member 20A can be rolled up and stored in the internal space S of the bag body 2, and can be hidden in the internal space S by closing the fastener 8 in this state. In this way, the first insertion member 20A can be protruded and retracted from the first area A1. The first insertion member 20A includes a first fabric portion 21 that forms a first insertion opening 21b that communicates with the first area A1, and a second fabric portion 22 that forms a second insertion opening 22b that communicates with the second area A2.

[0043] The first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 22 are, for example, bag-shaped. For example, the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 22 are aligned along the first direction D1 when protruding from the bag body 2. The first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 22 are independent from each other when protruding from the bag body 2. Inside the bag body 2, the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 22 are joined to each other.

[0044] For example, the first fabric portion 21 communicating with the first region A1 is provided on the near side of the second fabric portion 22 communicating with the second region A2 (on the near side in the first direction D1 of the placed pillow 1, on the opposite side of the edge of the pillow 1 in the first direction D1, or on the opposite side of the portion of the pillow 1 on which the top of the head is placed). In this way, by providing the first fabric portion 21 communicating with the upper first region A1 on the near side and the second fabric portion 22 communicating with the lower second region A2 on the far side, the contents 9 can be intuitively and easily placed in and removed from the first region A1 and the second region A2.

[0045] The first insert member 20A is connected to the three-dimensional gusset 10. That is, the first insert member 20A is arranged along the three-dimensional gusset 10 and is fixed to the three-dimensional gusset 10 by sewing. Specifically, the second fabric portion 22 is sewn into the three-dimensional gusset 10, and the first insert member 20A is integrated with the three-dimensional gusset 10.

[0046] For example, the first insertion member 20A is fixed to the three-dimensional gusset 10 on the back side in the region A (the back side in the first direction D1 of the placed pillow 1, the edge side of the pillow 1 in the first direction D1, or the side on which the top of the head of the pillow 1 is placed). In this way, by providing the first insertion member 20A on the back side of the region A, the first insertion member 20A can be made even less likely to get in the way.

[0047] For example, the first insert member 20A is not limited to being attached to the pillow 1, and can also be attached to a ready-made pillow having a first region A1 and a second region A2. A method for attaching the first insert member 20A to a pillow will be described below. First, a portion of the dividing portion 11 adjacent to the three-dimensional gusset 10 is cut away to form a first opening 12, and a portion of the outer fabric 3 adjacent to the three-dimensional gusset 10 is cut away to form a second opening 13 (opening forming step). The first opening 12 and the second opening 13 are formed in this way to expose the three-dimensional gusset 10 (three-dimensional gusset exposing step).

[0048] Then, the first insertion member 20A is fixed to the three-dimensional gusset 10 (step of fixing the first insertion member to the three-dimensional gusset). Specifically, a portion of the first fabric portion 21 is sewn to the edge of the first opening 12, and the remaining portion of the first fabric portion 21 is sewn to the edge of the second opening 13, while a portion of the second fabric portion 22 is sewn to the edge of the first opening 12 and the remaining portion of the second fabric portion 22 is sewn to the three-dimensional gusset 10. By going through the above steps, the first insertion member 20A can be easily attached to a pre-made two-layer pillow. Note that the first insertion member 20A can also be attached to bedding other than pillows, and there is no particular limitation on the type of bedding to which the first insertion member 20A can be attached.

[0049] Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing the second insertion member 20B. Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the second insertion member 20B and a portion of the bag body 2 cut along a plane extending in the first direction D1 and the third direction D3. As shown in Figs. 7 and 8, the second insertion member 20B allows contents 9 to be put in and taken out of each of the first area A1, the second area A2, and the third area A3.

[0050] Similar to the first insertion member 20A, the second insertion member 20B can be inserted into and removed from the first area A1 when the fastener 8 is open. Since part of the configuration of the second insertion member 20B is common to part of the configuration of the first insertion member 20A described above, hereinafter, the same reference numerals as those of the first insertion member 20A will be used for the overlapping parts, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

[0051] The second insertion member 20B includes a first fabric portion 21 forming a first insertion opening 21b communicating with the first region A1, a second fabric portion 22 forming a second insertion opening 22b communicating with the second region A2, and a third fabric portion 25 forming a third insertion opening 25b communicating with the third region A3. The third fabric portion 25 is, for example, bag-shaped. For example, the first fabric portion 21, the second fabric portion 22, and the third fabric portion 25 are aligned along the first direction D1 when protruding from the bag body 2. When protruding from the bag body 2, the first fabric portion 21, the second fabric portion 22, and the third fabric portion 25 are independent of one another. Inside the bag body 2, the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 22 are joined to one another, and the second fabric portion 22 and the third fabric portion 25 are joined to one another.

[0052] Similar to the first insertion member 20A described above, the first fabric portion 21 communicating with the first region A1 is provided closer to the user than the second fabric portion 22 communicating with the second region A2, which in turn is provided closer to the user than the third fabric portion 25 communicating with the third region A3. In this manner, the first fabric portion 21 communicating with the upper first region A1 is provided closest to the user, the second fabric portion 22 communicating with the middle second region A2 is provided in the middle, and the third fabric portion 25 communicating with the lower third region A3 is provided at the back. This allows the user to intuitively and easily insert or remove contents 9 into or from the first region A1, second region A2, and third region A3.

[0053] The second insert member 20B is, for example, connected to the three-dimensional gusset 10 and arranged along the three-dimensional gusset 10. The second insert member 20B is fixed to the three-dimensional gusset 10 by sewing. Specifically, the third fabric portion 25 is sewn into the three-dimensional gusset 10, and the second insert member 20B and the three-dimensional gusset 10 are integrated together.

[0054] The second insertion member 20B is fixed, for example, to an end edge 2b extending in the second direction D2 at the end of the bag body 2 in the first direction D1. As an example, the second insertion member 20B is fixed to the three-dimensional gusset 10 on the rear side of the region A, similar to the first insertion member 20A. In this case, by providing the second insertion member 20B on the rear side of the region A, the second insertion member 20B can be made even less likely to get in the way.

[0055] For example, the second insertion member 20B can be attached to a ready-made pillow having a first region A1, a second region A2, and a third region A3. A method for attaching the second insertion member 20B to a pillow will be described. First, a portion of each of the pair of upper and lower dividing portions 11 adjacent to the three-dimensional gusset 10 is cut out to form a first opening 14 exposing the third region A3 and a second opening 15 exposing the second region A2. Then, a portion of the outer fabric 3 adjacent to the three-dimensional gusset 10 is cut out to form a third opening 16 (opening forming step).

[0056] After forming the first opening 14, the second opening 15, and the third opening 16, the second insert member 20B is fixed to the three-dimensional gusset 10 (the process of fixing the second insert member to the three-dimensional gusset). At this time, a portion of the first fabric portion 21 is sewn to the edge of the third opening 16, and the remaining portion of the first fabric portion 21 is sewn to the edge of the second opening 15. A portion of the second fabric portion 22 is sewn to the edge of the second opening 15, and the remaining portion of the second fabric portion 22 is sewn to the edge of the first opening 14. Then, a portion of the third fabric portion 25 is sewn to the edge of the first opening 14, and the remaining portion of the third fabric portion 25 is sewn to the three-dimensional gusset 10. By going through the above processes, the second insert member 20B can be easily attached to a pre-made three-layer pillow. Note that the second insert member 20B can also be attached to bedding other than pillows, and the type of bedding to which the second insert member 20B can be attached is not particularly limited.

[0057] Next, the effects obtained from the pillow 1 and insert member 20, which are bedding according to this embodiment, will be described in detail. As illustrated in Figures 5 and 6, in the pillow 1 and insert member 20 (for example, the first insert member 20A), the bag body 2 has an internal space S capable of accommodating contents 9, and a three-dimensional gusset 10 extending in the third direction D3 in the internal space S divides the internal space S into multiple regions A. Each of the multiple regions A divided by the internal space S is divided by a divider 11 into a first region A1 located on one side of the third direction D3 and a second region A2 located on the other side of the third direction D3.

[0058] The insertion member 20 can be inserted and removed from the first region A1, and the insertion member 20 includes a first fabric portion 21 that forms a first insertion opening 21b that communicates with the first region A1, and a second fabric portion 22 that forms a second insertion opening 22b that communicates with the second region A2. Therefore, the contents 9 can be stored in the first region A1 located on one side in the third direction D3 through the first insertion opening 21b, and the contents 9 can be stored in the second region A2 located on the other side in the third direction D3 through the second insertion opening 22b, so that the contents 9 can be stored in each of the first region A1 and the second region A2, which have an upper and lower two-layer structure.

[0059] Therefore, the type and amount of contents 9 can be changed between the first region A1 and the second region A2, allowing the pillow 1 to be customized to suit the user's body, etc. The second fabric portion 22 is connected to the three-dimensional gusset 10 extending in the third direction D3 and can be retracted into and out of the bag body 2 from the three-dimensional gusset 10. Therefore, the second fabric portion 22 is provided at a position along the three-dimensional gusset 10 and can be retracted along the three-dimensional gusset 10 extending in the third direction D3, thereby avoiding the problem of the bag body 2 unintentionally protruding. Furthermore, the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 22 are independent of each other when protruding from the bag body 2. Therefore, it can be intuitively recognized that the first fabric portion 21 is connected to the first region A1 and the second fabric portion 22 is connected to the second region A2, making it easy to store the contents 9 in each of the first region A1 and the second region A2.

[0060] Furthermore, because the second fabric portion 22 extends and retracts along the three-dimensional gusset 10, and the first fabric portion 21 extends and retracts adjacent to the second fabric portion 22, sufficient space for accommodating the contents 9 can be secured in each of the first region A1 and the second region A2. That is, because the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 22 are accommodated along the three-dimensional gusset 10, the fabric of the insert member 20 does not compress the accommodation space for the contents 9. Therefore, because the insert member 20 can be positioned close to the three-dimensional gusset 10, sufficient fluidity of the contents 9 accommodated in each of the first region A1 and the second region A2 can be secured. Therefore, a good fit to the user's body can be obtained, and a good sleeping comfort can be provided to the user.

[0061] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the pillow 1 includes multiple three-dimensional gussets 10 and multiple insert members 20. The pouch 2 has a third region A3 located on the opposite side of the first region A1 from the second region A2. A second insert member 20B of the multiple insert members 20 has a third fabric portion 25 that forms a third insertion opening 25b that communicates with the third region A3. Therefore, contents 9 can be placed through the third insertion opening 25b in the third region A3, which is located on the opposite side of the first region A1 from the second region A2. This allows contents 9 to be placed in each of the first region A1, second region A2, and third region A3, which form a three-layer structure. Therefore, the type and amount of contents 9 can be changed in the first region A1, second region A2, and third region A3, allowing for a wider range of customization of the pillow 1.

[0062] FIG. 9(a) is a cross-sectional view showing a second insertion member 20B according to a modified example. FIG. 9(b) is a perspective view of the second insertion member 20B of FIG. 9(a). As shown in FIGS. 9(a) and 9(b), the second insertion member 20B has a first fabric portion 21 communicating with the first region A1, a second fabric portion 22 communicating with the second region A2, and a third fabric portion 25 communicating with the third region A3, with a portion of the second fabric portion 22 also serving as a portion of the third fabric portion 25. That is, the same fabric is used for a portion of the second fabric portion 22 and a portion of the third fabric portion 25. This reduces the amount of fabric required, contributing to cost reduction. Note that a portion of the first fabric portion 21 may also serve as a portion of the second fabric portion 22.

[0063] Next, an insert member 30 according to a modified example will be described with reference to Fig. 10. Fig. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the insert member 30 and a portion of the bag body 2 cut along a plane extending in the first direction D1 and the third direction D3. As shown in Fig. 10, the insert member 30 allows contents 9 to be put into and taken out of each of the multiple first regions A1 and the multiple second regions A2.

[0064] The insertion member 30 can be used, for example, in place of the above-described insertion member 20. The insertion member 30 is capable of extending into and retracting from the first area A1. The insertion member 30 includes a pair of first fabric portions 21 that form first insertion openings 21b that communicate with each of the first areas A1, and a pair of second fabric portions 22 that form second insertion openings 22b that communicate with each of the second areas A2.

[0065] In the insertion member 30, a pair of second fabric portions 22 are arranged between a pair of first fabric portions 21 aligned along the first direction D1. As described above, the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 22 are independent of each other. One of the pair of first fabric portions 21, one of the pair of second fabric portions 22, the other of the pair of second fabric portions 22, and the other of the pair of first fabric portions 21 are aligned in this order along the first direction D1.

[0066] The insert member 30 is connected to the three-dimensional gusset 10, similar to the insert member 20 described above. That is, the insert member 30 is arranged along the three-dimensional gusset 10 and is fixed to the three-dimensional gusset 10 by sewing. Specifically, a portion of each of the pair of second fabric portions 22 is sewn into the three-dimensional gusset 10, and the insert member 30 is integrated with the three-dimensional gusset 10.

[0067] As described above, the insertion member 30 according to the modified example is capable of protruding from and retracting into the first region A1, and includes a first fabric portion 21 forming a first insertion opening 21b that communicates with the first region A1, and a second fabric portion 22 forming a second insertion opening 22b that communicates with the second region A2. Each of the pair of second fabric portions 22 is connected to a three-dimensional gusset 10 extending in the third direction D3, and is capable of retracting into and out of the bag body 2 from the three-dimensional gusset 10. Therefore, the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 22 can protrude and retract along the three-dimensional gusset 10, thereby achieving the same effects as those of the insert member 20 described above.

[0068] Furthermore, the bag body 2 has multiple first regions A1, and the insert member 30 has a pair of second fabric portions 22 that sandwich the three-dimensional gusset 10 and a pair of first fabric portions 21 that sandwich the pair of second fabric portions 22, with one of the pair of first fabric portions 21 communicating with one of the multiple first regions A1 and the other of the pair of first fabric portions 21 communicating with the other of the multiple first regions A1. Therefore, in the insert member 30, one of the pair of first fabric portions 21 communicates with one first region A1, and the other of the pair of first fabric portions 21 communicates with the other first region A1. Furthermore, one of the pair of second fabric portions 22 communicates with one second region A2, and the other of the pair of second fabric portions 22 communicates with the other second region A2. Therefore, a single insert member 30 can accommodate contents 9 in both the pair of first regions A1 and the pair of second regions A2. Furthermore, when the pillow 1 includes the insert member 30, the number of openings formed in the outer fabric 3 for storing the contents 9 can be reduced compared to when the pillow 1 includes the insert member 20.

[0069] FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing a configuration according to another modification of the insert member 30 of FIG. 10. FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing a fabric portion constituting the insert member 30 of FIG. 11. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the insert member 30 may include a partition fabric 29 extending from the three-dimensional gusset 10. The partition fabric 29 is arranged to separate the annular portions forming the two second fabric portions 22 aligned along the first direction D1. The partition fabric 29 separates the internal space of the second fabric portion 22 located on one side in the first direction D1 from the internal space of the second fabric portion 22 located on the other side in the first direction D1. The insert member 30 including this partition fabric 29 can easily distinguish between the area on one side in the first direction D1 and the area on the other side in the first direction D1. Furthermore, when folded for storage, multiple fabric portions including the partition fabric 29 can be folded together.

[0070] The above describes embodiments of the bedding and insert member according to the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may be modified or applied to other things without departing from the spirit of the claims. In other words, the configuration, shape, size, material, number, and arrangement of each part of the bedding (pillow) and insert member may be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure.

[0071] For example, in the above-described embodiment, a pillow 1 including a pouch 2 having nine regions A has been described. However, the number and arrangement of the regions are not limited to nine regions A. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, a pillow 41 including a pouch 42 having seven regions A may be used. In this case, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained. Furthermore, the number of regions A may be, for example, four or six, and is not particularly limited.

[0072] As shown in FIG. 14, a pillow 51 may be provided with a bag body 52 having a plurality of insert members 30 capable of accommodating contents 9 in each of a pair of regions A. In this case, as described above, the number of openings for accommodating contents 9 can be reduced, and the number of fasteners 8 can also be reduced. Specifically, compared to the case of FIG. 13, the number of fasteners 8 can be reduced from seven to four. Reducing the number of fasteners 8 reduces the effort required to sew the fasteners 8 and cuts costs. Furthermore, since the number of fasteners 8 that come into contact with the back of the head and the like can be reduced, discomfort to the back of the head and the like can be reduced, resulting in even better sleeping comfort.

[0073] In the above embodiment, a pillow 1 having a three-layer structure including a first region A1, a second region A2, and a third region A3 has been described. However, the number of layers may be two or four or more and is not particularly limited. Also, in the above embodiment, an insert member 20 formed linearly along the second direction D2 has been described. However, the insert member according to the present disclosure may be formed linearly along the first direction D1, for example, and the direction and arrangement of the insert member can be changed as appropriate.

[0074] In the above embodiment, the insert member 20 and the insert member 30 are described as being attached to the pillow 1. However, the bedding to which the insert member is attached may be bedding other than a pillow. In other words, the insert member according to the present disclosure can be attached to any bedding, such as a duvet (comforter or mattress) such as a down duvet, a cushion, or a floor cushion.
