Zippered Bedding

Abstract

The invention is a bedding apparatus, to be used with a conventional mattress. The bedding's bottom layer is fitted, so as to fit snugly around a mattress. The bottom layer is connected to the top layer by an attachment device, preferably two zippers. The top layer extends over three edges of the bottom layer, so as to appear aesthetically pleasing and provide comfort to the user. The zippers allow a user to easily and quickly make up the bed after sleeping in the bedding. It also functions to keep the top layer from falling off of the bed while sleeping and facilitates the user in weekly changing of the bed.

1 . A bedding apparatus, comprising:
 a top layer;   a bottom layer; and   a plurality of attachment devices;   wherein said plurality of attachment devices connect said top layer to said bottom layer;   wherein said bottom layer is comprised of a fitted portion and a top portion;   wherein said top portion of said bottom layer covers a top of a mattress;   wherein said fitted portion of said bottom layer fits tightly around the sides of said mattress; and   wherein said top layer extends over and beyond one or more edges of said top portion of said bottom layer.   
     
     
         2 . A bedding apparatus, comprising:
 a top layer;   a bottom layer; and   a plurality of zippers;   wherein said bottom layer is comprised of a fitted portion and a top portion;   wherein said top portion of said bottom layer covers a top of a mattress;   wherein said fitted portion of said bottom layer fits tightly around the sides of said mattress; and   wherein said top layer extends over and beyond one or more edges of said top portion of said bottom layer;   wherein said plurality of zippers have a top slide rail and a bottom slide rail;   wherein said top slide rail of said zippers are attached to a bottom of said top layer;   wherein said bottom slide rail of said zippers are attached to an outer surface of said top portion of said bottom layer; and   wherein said plurality of zippers connect said top layer and said bottom.   
     
     
         3 . The bedding apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein said plurality of zippers is two zippers;
 wherein said two bottom slide rails of said two zippers are essentially parallel and are located at opposing side edges of said top portion of said bottom layer;   wherein said two bottom slid rails of said two zippers extend to a foot edge of said top portion of said bottom layer; and   wherein said two top slide rails of said two zippers are essentially parallel and are located on an interior of opposing side edges of said bottom of said top layer.   
     
     
         4 . The bedding apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein one or more of said two zippers is a double-headed zipper. 
     
     
         5 . The bedding apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein said top slide rails and said bottom slide rails of said zippers have a distal side and a proximal side, and wherein said proximal side has a lining that prevents contact with a plurality of teeth of said zippers. 
     
     
         6 . The bedding apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein said top layer is a lined comforter. 
     
     
         7 . The bedding apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein said top layer is a lined blanket. 
     
     
         8 . The bedding apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein said top layer is a blanket. 
     
     
         9 . The bedding apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein said top layer is a comforter. 
     
     
         10 . The bedding apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein said top portion of said bottom layer is padded. 
     
     
         11 . The bedding apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein said bedding apparatus looks like conventional bedding when assembled and made up.
