Comforter blanket
Embodiments are directed toward preventing misalignment of a comforter relative to a mattress. The comforter has a foot-end portion that defines a pouch. The foot-end portion of a mattress can be inserted into the foot-end portion of the pouch, thereby preventing misalignment of the comforter relative to the mattress while providing draft protection to the feet of a person sleeping on the mattress.
1 . A method of using a comforter system, the method comprising:
laying a comforter sheet on a mattress, the comforter sheet having a head-end portion and a foot-end portion disposed opposite from the head-end portion of the comforter sheet, the foot-end portion of the comforter sheet defining a pouch;
inserting a foot-end portion of the mattress into the pouch,
whereby inserting the foot-end portion of the mattress into the pouch facilitates preventing misalignment of the comforter sheet relative to the mattress and further configures the comforter system so as to provide draft protection to feet of a person sleeping on the mattress,
wherein inserting the foot-end portion of the mattress into the pouch includes transitioning the pouch from a comforter extension configuration to a mattress coupling configuration, the pouch in the comforter extension configuration being configured to not couple the comforter to the mattress, the pouch in the mattress coupling configuration being configured to couple the comforter to the mattress; and
after transitioning the pouch from the comforter extension configuration to the mattress coupling configuration, transitioning the pouch from the mattress coupling configuration to the comforter extension configuration.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the pouch is defined by only the foot-end portion of the comforter sheet, and the head-end portion does not define a pouch and is not configured to couple to the mattress.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a tensioner is coupled to a portion of the foot-end portion of the comforter sheet, a tension adjuster is coupled to the tensioner, and transitioning the pouch from the comforter extension configuration to the mattress coupling configuration includes increasing tension along the tensioner between the foot-end portion of the comforter sheet and the tension adjuster.
4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
laying the comforter sheet on the mattress while the comforter sheet is in the comforter extension configuration, wherein transitioning the pouch from the mattress coupling configuration to the comforter extension configuration includes decreasing the tension along the tensioner between the foot-end portion of the comforter sheet and the tension adjuster.
5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the foot-end portion of the comforter sheet defines a channel in which the tensioner resides, the channel extending along a perimeter of the foot-end portion of the comforter sheet.
6 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the head-end portion is devoid of the tensioner.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
before laying the comforter sheet on the mattress, laying a top sheet on the mattress; and
coupling the top sheet to the comforter sheet,
whereby the top sheet coupling to the comforter sheet facilitates preventing misalignment of the top sheet relative to the comforter sheet.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the top sheet has a head portion and a foot portion disposed opposite from the head portion of the top sheet, the head portion of the top sheet defines a comforter-retention pouch, and coupling the top sheet to the comforter sheet includes inserting the head-end portion of the comforter sheet into the comforter-retention pouch.
9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the comforter sheet has a bottom surface that faces the mattress when the foot-end portion of the mattress is inserted into the pouch, the top sheet has a top surface that faces away from the mattress when the top sheet is coupled to the comforter sheet and the bottom surface of the comforter sheet faces the mattress, the bottom surface of the comforter sheet has at least one of a toggle button or a loop, the top surface of the top sheet has at least one of the other of the toggle button or the loop, and coupling the top sheet to the comforter includes inserting the toggle button into the loop.
