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.
Claims54
A bed sheet at least 90 inches wide comprising
- a first fabric area where a majority of an individual body rests when the bed sheet is on a bed,
- the first fabric area comprising a fabric circularly knit at 17 gauges or higher and including a high performance man-made fiber,
- the fabric having an elasticity such that the fabric has a tendency to sag by an amount that is greater than a threshold amount of sag determined by a finishing process, such that the sag would interfere with the finishing process if the fabric were circularly knit at greater than a 72.5 inch circumference.
A bed sheet at least 90 inches wide comprising
- a first fabric area where the majority of an individual body rests when the bed sheet is placed on a bed,
- the first fabric area comprising a fabric that a) includes polyurethanepolyurea copolymer fiber and b) has been circularly knit at 17 gauges or higher,
- the polyurethanepolyurea copolymer fiber included in the fabric in a proportion such that, if circularly knit at a high gauge, the fabric could be knit at no more than a 72.5 inch circumference without losing integrity of the polyurethanepolyurea copolymer fiber.
A method of producing a bed sheet at least 90 inches wide comprising
- forming a fabric having a first area where a majority of an individual body rests when the bed sheet is on a bed,
- the first area comprising a fabric circularly knit at 17 gauges or higher and including a high performance man-made fiber,
- the fabric having an elasticity such that the fabric has a tendency to sag by an amount that is greater than a threshold amount of sag determined by a finishing process, such that the sag would interfere with the finishing process if the fabric were circularly knit at greater than a 72.5 inch circumference.
