Mattress cover having a compartment wherein bumper padding material can be integrated therein to form a cuddle zone

Abstract

A mattress cover can have a compartment formed thereon wherein bumper padding material can be integrated into the compartment to create a cuddle zone above the covering within an area defined by the compartment and integrated bumper padding material. The mattress cover can be provided in the form of a fitted bed sheet. The bumper padding material can be provided in the form of a tube. The compartment can be formed as an overlay material sewn over the mattress covering having at least one open end that can be closed once bumper padding material is inserted into the compartment. End closures can be provided in the form of hook and loop material sewn along at least one of the at least one open end of the overlay material and the mattress covering. The compartment and bumper padding material can be provided to create many shapes formed above the mattress material.
