Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates generally to bedding. More specifically, the present invention relates to a bedding system that keeps a comforter staying tucked all the time and provides efficient making of a bed. The bedding system of the present invention offers a user ultimate comfort for sleep with adjustable tightness of the comforter being tucked on the bed. Additionally, the bedding system provides significantly more easiness and effectiveness of making the bed with a minimum of time and effort comparing with conventional bedding systems.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Nowadays, normal beds are usually made with a fitted sheet and a top sheet tucked under a mattress supported by a box spring, a metal frame, or the like. A comforter or duvet with a duvet cover is loosely placed on top of the top sheet. During normal use, the bed covering, either being loosely laid on the bed or tucked under the mattress along with the top sheet, can get pulled free from the bed or kicked out of the desired layout of a user when sleeping, thus causing the bed to be completely re-made after each use by the user. Making the bed takes extra time and effort for the user and may include tidying sheets and the comforter, tucking the bed covering back under the mattress again, etc. This may be frustrating especially if the user has a very busy schedule and/or a busy lifestyle every day. Additionally, this can frustrate and irritate the user who may become uncovered, cold, and uncomfortable since the bed coverings may get mangled and/or even kicked out of the bed.

[0003] Most existing bedding systems and methods trying to solve the problems of bed-making and disorderly bedding are either complicated or ineffective. Many systems include apparatuses or devices to bed coverings or mattresses trying to keep bed coverings staying in the original position during use. The user must attach these systems to a purchased the bed covering or bed and/or mattress. Such an attachment not only requires alteration of bedding covers and/or beds, but also may cause damages to the bedding systems during attachment processes. Many other systems, however, try to eliminate tucking of any bedding covers to the bed, which may not be desired by many users who enjoy sleeping while being tucked in. Some recent improvements focused on the removable attachment of bedding layers and/or fasteners such as straps, clamps, fabric tie-downs to be used over the bedding coverings and/or mattresses. These systems, however, may cause uncomfortable experience to the user during sleep. Since these systems do not have a mechanism for the user to adjust the attachment to achieve desired comfort when sleeping in, the user may end up eliminating altogether.

[0004] It is an objective of the present invention to provide an optimal solution to the aforementioned problems for bedding system. The present invention comprises a bedding system that features an innovative anchor and comforter. The bedding system wraps around the bed and thus keeps the comforter staying tucked all the time. Since the anchor includes adjustable elastic straps, the bedding system not only keeps the bedding system in position when the user sleeps in bed, but also allows the user to make adjustments to the tightness of the comforter being tucked on the bed. Therefore, the bedding system can eliminate or minimize the effort of bed making after each use and enable the user to achieve ultimate comfort during sleep.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The present invention is a bedding system that comprises an anchor and a comforter. The anchor wraps around a mattress of a bed and attaches to the sides and foot portion of the comforter. Thus, the bedding system can keep the comforter staying tucked all the time and provides efficient making of a bed. The anchor of the bedding system includes adjustable elastic straps, of which the length can be adjusted by a user to achieve an ultimate comfort and high-quality sleep. The constant pressure exerted on the comforter by the elastic straps keeps the comforter staying tucked and in position even during the user's sleep, thus minimizing and/or eliminating the need/effort of bed-making after each use of the present invention. The anchor and comforter system can be conveniently and effectively installed by the user. The present invention is also removably connected, which allows the user to easily disconnect for washing and replacement of any components. The anchor can be partially folded and removably locked in place thus allowing the bedding system to fit to various types of beds such as king, queen, full sizes, etc. Further, the comforter comprises extenders on each of the longitudinal sides and the foot portion, which offers the flexibility for the present invention to fit to various thicknesses of mattresses and beds.

[0006] The comforter comprises a flap that can be folded to the front top surface of the comforter, which allows the user easy access to the bed for a comfortable sleep. After sleep, the user can easily flip the flap to achieve the neat appearance of the bed with the comforter being tucked in place. Further, the comforter of the bedding system may comprise a skirt that flares out on both the longitudinal sides and the foot area of the bed to offer a high bed and/or traditional display of the bed.
