Two-piece interchangeable cover

Abstract

An interchangeable cover for a fill layer is disclosed herein. The interchangeable cover includes two separate pieces of fabric—particularly, a top sheet and a bottom sheet−that are attachable together via a plurality of fasteners along edges thereof, to enclose a fill layer (such as a duvet or weighted blanket) therein. In some versions, the plurality of fasteners includes magnets. The interchangeable cover considerably speeds up and simplifies the process of changing duvet covers, especially for those with mobility issues or other disabilities. The two-piece interchangeable cover also enables users to interchange one of the sheets without interchanging the other sheet, for decorative and/or cleaning purposes.

         9 . The interchangeable cover of  claim 8 , wherein the first top side of the bottom sheet includes a plurality of string ties configured to attach the bottom sheet to the fill layer. 
     
     
         10 . An interchangeable cover for a fill layer, the interchangeable cover comprising:
 a bottom sheet including a first upper edge opposite a first lower edge, a first pair of opposing side edges, a first bottom side opposite a first top side and a first plurality of magnets attached along each of the first lower edge, the first pair of opposing sides edges and an upper portion of the bottom sheet; and   a top sheet including a second upper edge opposite a second lower edge, a second pair of opposing side edges, a second bottom side opposite a second top side, and a second plurality of magnets attached along each of the second lower edge, the second pair of opposing sides edges and the second upper edge, the top sheet including a length greater than a length of the bottom sheet such that when first lower edge and the second lower edge are aligned, the second upper edge is able to folded over the first upper edge; and   wherein the second plurality of magnets and the first plurality of magnets are configured to attach the second lower edge of the top sheet to the first lower edge of the bottom sheet, attach the second pair of opposing side edges of the top sheet to the first pair of opposing side edges of the bottom sheet, and attach the second upper edge of the top sheet to the upper portion of the bottom sheet when the second upper edge is folded over the first upper edge, thereby attaching the top sheet to the bottom sheet.   
     
     
         11 . The interchangeable cover of  claim 10 , wherein the upper portion of the bottom sheet includes a pocket attached to the first bottom side thereof, the pocket configured to contain the portion of the first plurality of magnets. 
     
     
         12 . The interchangeable cover of  claim 11 , wherein the pocket and the portion of the first plurality of magnets extend over a width of the bottom sheet, between the first pair of opposing side edges. 
     
     
         13 . The interchangeable cover of  claim 12 , wherein the first lower edge and the first pair of opposing side edges each include a first sleeve for containing at least some of the first plurality of magnets. 
     
     
         14 . The interchangeable cover of  claim 13 , wherein the second lower edge and the second pair of opposing side edges each include a second sleeve for containing at least some of the second plurality of magnets.
