Abstract
Abstract An improved bedding assembly, particularly adapted for transport in a camper vehicle and utilizable in a camping mode comprises a mattress, top and bottom sheets and heat insulating means such as a blanket, bedspread or the like, disposed in stacked, non-slip relation and releasably interconnected along interconnection lines adjacent opposite long sides thereof, said sheets also being interconnected at the foot end but not the head end thereof. The top sheet and blanket are wider between the interconnection lines than are the mattress and bottom sheet so that a pocket, open at the head end, is formed between the top and bottom sheets, into which pocket the camper can dispose himself for sleep. The assembly stays together neatly regardless of the presence of the camper and so need not be remade after each night's occupancy. The assembly may further include a bed pad and a bedspread interconnected through zippers disposed along the interconnection lines. The top sheet, blanket and bedspread may also be interconnected through connector means such as spaced Velcro strips or the like. The bottom sheet and pad may be similarly interconnected. The assembly is simple, compact and light in weight.
