Split top bed sheets for sleeping partners

Abstract

A split bed covering for providing individually adjustable sleeping configurations in a single bed, and extending across the split line to form overlapping flaps which prevent drafts and bridging between sleeping partners and disturbances when one partner moves his or her bed coverings.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A split bed covering comprising;
 a sheet having a split along a line extending from a head end toward a bottom end forming two upper portions of the sheet and a single lower portion;   wherein the two upper portions extend across the split to form flaps wherein the flaps significantly overlap while lying in a substantially planer configuration.   
     
     
         2 . A split bed covering, as described in  claim 1  wherein each upper portion and the overlapping flap extending therefrom are a single non-seamed piece of fabric. 
     
     
         3 . A split bed covering, as described in  claim 1  wherein each upper potion and the single common lower portion are a single contiguous non-seamed piece of fabric. 
     
     
         4 . A split bed covering, as described in  claim 1  wherein the overlapping flaps extending across the center line further comprise fasteners for joining the overlapping flaps together along a common plane. 
     
     
         5 . A split bed covering, as described in  claim 1  wherein fabric is a felted fabric. 
     
     
         6 . A split bed covering, as described in  claim 1  wherein fabric is a knitted fabric. 
     
     
         7 . A split bed covering, as described in  claim 1  wherein fabric is a woven fabric. 
     
     
         8 . A split bed covering, as described in  claim 7  wherein the flaps have a lower warp thread count than the lower portion. 
     
     
         9 . A split bed covering, as described in  claim 8  wherein the flaps have a higher weft thread count than the lower portion. 
     
     
         10 . A split bed covering, as described in  claim 7  wherein the flaps are formed by inserting additional warp threads to maintain a consistent warp thread count throughout the covering. 
     
     
         11 . A split bed covering, as described in  claim 1  wherein the overlapping flaps are triangular. 
     
     
         12 . A split bed covering, as described in  claim 1  wherein the overlapping flaps have a triangular lower region and a rectangular upper region. 
     
     
         13 . A split bed covering, as described in  claim 1  wherein the overlapping flaps have convex outer edges. 
     
     
         14 . A split bed covering, as described in  claim 1  wherein the overlapping flaps have a concave outer edge.
