Two-zone comforter system

Abstract

Disclosed is a two-zone comforter system enabling two individuals sharing a bed to regulate individual temperatures separately. The two-zone comforter system comprises a lower panel that is continuous across the width of the two-zone comforter system. A first upper panel and a second upper panel extend lengthwise from the lower panel and define a first and second sleeping zone. The first and second upper panels further comprise a compartmentalized overlapping flap containing magnets. The magnets of the first upper panel and the magnets of the second overlapping panel are of opposing polarity.

1 . A two-zone comforter having a length and width, the two-zone comforter comprising:
 a. a lower panel that is continuous across the width of the two-zone comforter;   b. a first upper panel and a second upper panel extending lengthwise from the lower panel and defining a first sleeping zone and a second sleeping zone, wherein the first upper panel and the second upper panel each comprise a compartmentalized overlapping flap, and wherein the compartments of the compartmentalized overlapping flap of the first and second upper panels contain oppositely charged magnets for reversibly joining the first and second upper panels.   
     
     
         2 . The two-zone comforter of  claim 1  wherein the area covered by the comforter when fully spread, with the oppositely charged magnets of the compartmentalized overlapping flaps of the first upper panel and the second upper panel being paired, is substantially equal to the product of the length times the width of the two-zone comforter. 
     
     
         3 . The two-zone comforter of  claim 1  wherein the oppositely charged magnets are neodymium magnets. 
     
     
         4 . The two-zone comforter of  claim 1  wherein the neodymium magnets are selected from the group consisting block or bar magnets. 
     
     
         5 . The two-zone comforter of  claim 1  wherein the neodymium magnets are selected from the group consisting disc or cylinder magnets. 
     
     
         6 . The two-zone comforter of  claim 1  wherein the neodymium magnets are ring magnets. 
     
     
         7 . The two-zone comforter of  claim 1  wherein the neodymium magnets are sphere magnets. 
     
     
         8 . The two-zone comforter of  claim 1  that is sized to accommodate a mattress selected from the group consisting of king size, queen size or double.
