         5 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the opening encompasses a portion of at least one other adjacent side. 
     
     
         6 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein closure mechanism comprises:
 a left side and a right side of a zipper,   wherein the left side and right side are attached at one end of the opening.   
     
     
         7 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the length of the closure mechanism is at least the length of the opening. 
     
     
         8 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the handle portion is configured to be stored inside the cover in the closed position. 
     
     
         9 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the closure mechanism comprises at least one of:
 a metal;   a nylon; and   a plastic.   
     
     
         10 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the cover comprises at least one of:

         11 . A method for enclosing a bedding material in a cover, comprising:
 moving a handle portion to one end of a closure mechanism to provide an opening in the cover along at least two adjacent sides of the cover;   placing a bedding material inside the cover;   distributing the bedding material inside the cover;   smoothing corners of the cover to correct for bunching and folding of a bedding material; and   moving the handle portion to another end of the closure mechanism to close the opening in the cover,   wherein the closure mechanism is not visible from outside the cover when in the closed position.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the closure mechanism comprises a zipper slider that is configured to flip to reside inside the cover. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the zipper slider is movable along a plurality of zipper teeth to unfasten a left side and a right side of the cover to form the opening. 
     
     
         14 . A method of making a cover having a top section, a bottom section and at least three sides for a bedding material, the method comprising:
 attaching at least one side of the bottom section to at least one side of the top section to form a pocket enclosed along at least one side;   attaching a left side of a closure mechanism to an edge portion of the bottom section of the cover along at least two adjacent sides; and   attaching a right side of the closure mechanism to the edge portion of the top section of the cover along the at least two adjacent sides,   wherein the left and right sides of the closure mechanism may be fastened to each other to arrange the cover in a closed configuration, and   wherein the closure mechanism is hidden from view when the cover is in the closed configuration.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the attaching the left side of the closure mechanism comprises sewing the left side of the closure mechanism and attaching the right side of the closure mechanism comprises sewing the right side of the closure mechanism. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the closure mechanism is sewn along a shorter side and an adjacent longer side of the cover. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the closure mechanism is sewn along a portion of at least one other adjacent side. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the left and right sides of the closure mechanism are sewn to meet at one end of the opening. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the length of the closure mechanism is sewn to at least the length of the opening. 
     
     
         20 . The cover of  claim 16 , wherein the closure mechanism comprises a handle portion that is constructed to be stored inside the cover in the closed configuration.
