Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable one to sleep warm in the winter and cool in the summer by securing one fastener element to the left side edge and the left half of the foot side edge of a coverlet and securing the other fastener element to the corresponding edges of a mattress to locate an opener to mesh with the foot side edge. CONSTITUTION:In seasons of the winter or cool spring and fall, both fasteners 3a, 3b are used under the closed condition over the whole length. Under such a condition, warm air enclosed by a mattress 1 and a coverlet 2 is prevented from escaping outside through both left and right side edges 1a, 2a, 1b and 2b and the foot side edges 1c, 2c or outside cold air is prevented from entering inside. In the summer, the fasteners 3a, 3b are used under the opened condition in which they are opened from the foot side edge to proper spots of both left and right side edges by an opener 9. Under such a condition, even if a sleeping person kicks the coverlet 2 with his foot, the coverlet springs up only on the foot side, so that he does not catch cold in sleep.
