ABSTRACT:
Integrated bed covers for the mattress of a bed include an upper bed covering of one or more layer, for convenience referred to generically as a `cover`, e.g., a comforter or blanket, together with a mattress pocket adapted to fit around and enclose a lower portion of the mattress wherein the cover is expandably connected to the mattress pocket, that is to say, so that the bed cover (e.g., comforter or blanket) can be easily separated or expanded upwardly from the pocket and yet remained connected to it. I have found it possible to accomplish this objective by connecting to the pocket a base sheet or supporting sheet that extends laterally as well as beyond the end of the bed from the pocket and then securing the edges of this supporting sheet to the edges of the covering. This enables the cover to be reliably held in place on the bed by means of the mattress pocket and yet allows the cover to be raised upwardly away from the mattress pocket so as to provide an expandable opening for the feet between the cover and the mattress pocket so as to prevent the feet being confined or bound in place by the overlying cover. The cover can have three layers with laterally extending slits one each side near the foot of the bed. The slits are typically equal in length to that portion of the cover that hangs down alongside the side wall of the mattress.
