Abstract
A duvet cover system includes a cover assembly, defined by first and second fabric layers with a pocket defined between the layers, and which is configured to receive a separate fill layer, defined by a blanket or comforter. One of the fabric layers and the fill layer include fastening elements that engage one another to secure the fill layer in position within the cover assembly, and at least some of these fastening elements are color-coded to identify the size of the bed for which the system is to cover. As such, a plurality of different size cover assemblies can be easily sorted for pairing with proper corresponding sizes of fill layers based on the easy size identification provided by the color-coded fastening elements.

A duvet cover system to be used for covering a bed, comprising:
- a cover assembly including first and second fabric layers configured to define a pocket between the fabric layers;
- a fill layer configured to be inserted into and retained within the pocket to be substantially hidden from external view by the cover assembly;
- and
- fastening elements provided on the cover assembly and the fill layer, the fastening elements configured to engage with one another to secure the fill layer in position within the pocket,
- at least one of the fastening elements on each of the cover assembly and the fill layer being color-coded based on a size of the duvet cover system, such that a user can identify and match the cover assembly to the fill layer to assure that these components are the same size before inserting the fill layer into the pocket.
A duvet cover system to be used for covering a bed, comprising:
- a cover assembly including first and second fabric layers configured to define a pocket between the fabric layers;
- a fill layer configured to be inserted into and retained within the pocket to be substantially hidden from external view by the cover assembly, wherein the cover assembly and fill layer collectively define a head end configured to be arranged adjacent a head end edge of the bed and a foot end configured to be arranged adjacent a foot end edge of the bed;
- and
- fastening elements provided on the cover assembly and the fill layer, the fastening elements configured to engage with one another to secure the fill layer in position within the pocket,
- at least some of the fastening elements on each of the cover assembly and the fill layer being color-coded, wherein the color-coding is different between fastening elements along the head end and fastening elements along the foot end such that the color-coding also provides a visual indicia that assists a user in identifying a width and length of the duvet cover system so that the duvet cover system can be properly oriented when positioned at the bed.
A method of assembling a duvet cover system for use in covering a bed, the method comprising:
- matching a cover assembly and a fill layer using color-coding provided on at least one of a plurality of fastening elements provided on the cover assembly and the fill layer, the fastening elements configured to engage with one another to secure the fill layer in position within the cover assembly to form the duvet cover system;
- inserting the fill layer into a pocket defined within the cover assembly;
- securing the fill layer in the pocket by engaging the fastening elements of the fill layer with the fastening elements of the cover assembly,
- wherein the fastening elements are color-coded based on a size of the duvet cover system.
