Bedding covers and bedding cover systems
View Patent ↗Bedding covers for selectively covering an insulated bedding item. The bedding covers include a cover member, a flap member, and a cover fastener. The cover member is complementarily configured with the length and the width of the insulated bedding item. The cover member has a cover top edge having a cover width at least as wide as the width of the insulated bedding item. The flap member is coupled to the cover member along the cover top edge. The cover fastener is configured to secure the cover member to the insulated bedding item and is disposed on either the cover member or the flap member. The cover member and the flap member collectively define a flap configured to receive a portion of the insulated bedding item. The cover fastener and the flap cooperate to secure the insulated bedding item within the flap.

14. The bedding cover system of claim 13 , wherein:
the cover member includes a cover bottom edge opposite the cover top edge;
the insulated bedding item includes a bedding bottom edge underlying the cover bottom edge when the cover member overlies the insulated bedding item; and
the bedding cover further comprises a cover bottom edge fastener secured to the cover member proximate the cover bottom edge, the cover bottom edge fastener being configured to secure the bedding bottom edge to the cover member.
15. The bedding cover system of claim 14 , wherein the insulated bedding item further comprises a bedding bottom edge fastener aligned with and complementarily configured with the cover bottom edge fastener.
16. A bedding cover system, comprising:
an insulated bedding item including a bedding fastener disposed proximate a bedding top edge, the insulated bedding item having a length and a width; and
a bedding cover including:
a cover member complementarily configured with the length and the width of the insulated bedding item and configured to overlie the insulated bedding item, the cover member having:
a cover top edge complementing the width of the insulated bedding item and overlying the bedding top edge; and
a flap member coupled to the cover member along the cover top edge;
a first cover fastener disposed on one of the cover member or the flap member proximate to the cover top edge of the cover member, wherein the first cover fastener is proximate to a corresponding first insulated bedding item fastener disposed proximate to a first top corner of the insulated bedding item, and wherein the first cover fastener is configured to fasten with the first insulated bedding item fastener to secure the cover member to the insulated bedding item; and
