Abstract
Bedding material including a first fabric section manufactured from performance fabric and having a first and second side; and, a second fabric section attached to the first side of the first fabric section. Additionally, a third fabric section can be attached to the second side of the first fabric section. The first fabric section can be attached to the second fabric section through a flatlock stitch. The first fabric section can include a first zone and a second zone wherein the first zone contains different performance properties from the second zone and the first zone can have thermal or moisture wicking properties.
Claims21
A bed covering at least 90 inches wide comprising
- a circularly knit fabric area where a majority of an individual body is capable of resting when the bed covering is on a bed,
- the circularly knit fabric area formed from a fabric knit at 17 gauges or higher with at least one elastic synthetic fiber, such that the fabric has an elasticity which results in a tendency of the fabric to sag that would interfere with a finishing process if the fabric were circularly knit at greater than a 72.5 inch circumference.
A bed covering at least 90 inches wide comprising
- a circularly knit fabric area where the majority of an individual body is capable of resting when the bed covering is on a bed,
- the circularly knit fabric area comprising a fabric including polyurethanepolyurea copolymer fiber and having been circularly knit at 17 gauges or higher,
- the fabric comprising the polyurethanepolyurea copolymer fiber in a proportion such that, if circularly knit at a high gauge, the circularly knit fabric area could be knit at no more than a 72.5 inch circumference without losing integrity of the polyurethanepolyurea copolymer fiber.
A bed covering comprising:
- a finished fabric having a width of at least 90 inches and comprising:
- a first fabric portion where a majority of an individual body is capable of resting when the bed covering is on a bed;
- and
- two or more second fabric portions attached to the first fabric portion,
- wherein:
- the first fabric portion forms a majority of the finished fabric;
- the first fabric portion and at least two of the second fabric portions in combination extend across the width of the finished fabric;
- and
- the first fabric portion is formed from a circularly knit fabric knit at 17 gauges or higher with at least one elastic synthetic fiber, such that the circularly knit fabric has an elasticity which results in a tendency of the fabric to sag that would interfere with a finishing process if the circularly knit fabric were circularly knit at greater than a 72.5 inch circumference.
