Duvet and method

A duvet and mattress combination comprising:

• A) the duvet comprising a base cover and a tab sheet that connect together to form a T-shape, the base cover further defines a hollow interior accessible through a resealable aperture, the hollow interior further configured to removably receive a quilt through the resealable aperture, the resealable aperture is continuously located along a full length of a base cover bottom edge and the full length of a base cover side edge that is continuously adjacent to the base cover bottom edge, and a continuous seam forms a base cover top edge and an adjacent another base cover side edge;
• B) one end of the tab sheet further forms an open-ended pocket having a pocket aperture that can allow passage of at least a portion of a first hand of the operator into the open-ended pocket;
• wherein the pocket aperture further opens out onto the remaining tab sheet in a manner that allows the operator to move a combination of the at least portion of the first hand within an interior of the open-ended pocket to a position underneath a mattress to which the duvet is being applied, the open-ended pocket being sufficiently constructed to accommodate at least a portion of a first hand of an operator passing through the pocket aperture;
• and
• C) a mattress having a top and a bottom connected together by a head end, a foot end, a first mattress side and a second mattress side forming a mattress width that is greater than a width of the tab sheet;
• wherein the base cover lies over the top of the mattress, the open-ended pocket lies underneath the mattress against the bottom to allow the duvet and mattress combination to form a foot corner that allows easy passage of the operator's foot through the foot corner, a portion of the tab sheet is folded against a foot end of the mattress to align the aperture with an edge of the foot end.

A method of combining a duvet with a mattress comprising the following steps:

• A) providing a duvet, the duvet comprising a base cover and a tab sheet that connect together to form a T-shape, the base cover further defines a hollow interior accessible through a resealable aperture, the hollow interior further removably holds a quilt, the resealable aperture is continuously located along a full length of a base cover bottom edge and a full length of a base cover side edge that is adjacent to the base cover bottom edge, and a continuous seam forms a base cover top edge and an adjacent another base cover side edge, one end of the tab sheet further forms an open-ended pocket having a pocket aperture that can allow passage of at least a portion of a first hand of the operator into the open-ended pocket;
• wherein the pocket aperture further opens out onto the remaining tab sheet in a manner that allows the operator to move of the at least portion of the first hand within an interior of the open-ended pocket to a position underneath a mattress to which the duvet is being applied, the open-ended pocket being sufficiently constructed to accommodate at least a portion of a first hand of an operator passing through the pocket aperture;
• B) providing a mattress having a top mattress portion connected by mattress sides to a bottom mattress portion;
• C) inserting the at least a portion of the first hand of the operator into the open-ended pocket;
• and
• D) directing the open-ended pocket towards the bottom mattress portion to locate at least a portion of the open-ended pocket under the bottom mattress portion.
