Abstract
A bed covering includes a top covering adapted to overlie the top surface of a mattress, a side covering adapted to be fitted to the mattress and to surround the head end, foot end and sides thereof, and a foldable side panel interconnecting the top covering and side covering along the foot end and at least one side of the mattress so that the mattress, side panel and top covering define somewhat of a sleeping bag type enclosure for receiving a person. A first zipper along the edge of the top covering and top edge of the side covering enable the bed to be made by simply closing the first zipper to thereby foldably collapse and enclose the side panel between the top covering and mattress. A second zipper may be provided between the side panel and side covering to facilitate entry onto the mattress below the bed covering.
