A mattress assembly includes a cover having a pocket. A mattress is positioned within the pocket. The mattress includes opposite first and second sides, the first side having a cavity. An insert is positioned within the cavity. Methods of use are disclosed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A bedding system comprising: a mattress; an article of bedding comprising opposite first and second sides and a wall extending from the first side to the second side, the first side including opposite top and bottom edges and opposite first and second side edges that each extend from the top edge to the bottom edge, the article of bedding defining a first cavity, the mattress being positioned in the first cavity such that the mattress is encased by the article of bedding; a pocket coupled to the first side, the pocket extending continuously from a first end to an opposite second end, the first end being flush with the top edge, the second end being flush with the bottom edge, the pocket defining a second cavity; a material positioned within the second cavity, the material configured to directly engage the mattress when inserted into the second cavity.

2. A bedding system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the article of bedding is a mattress cover.

3. A bedding system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the material is removably positioned within the second cavity.

4. A bedding system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the pocket is removably coupled to the first side by a zipper.

5. A bedding system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the pocket is removably coupled to the first side.

6. A bedding system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the pocket is permanently coupled to the first side.

7. A bedding system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the pocket is sewn directly into the first side such that the pocket is permanently coupled to the first side.

8. A bedding system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the mattress is positioned in the first cavity such that the first side directly engages a top surface of the mattress.

9. A bedding system as recited in claim 8 , wherein the mattress is positioned in the first cavity such that the second side directly engages a bottom surface of the mattress.

10. A bedding system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the mattress is positioned in the first cavity such that the first side directly engages a top surface of the mattress and the second side directly engages a bottom surface of the mattress, the top surface of the mattress having a firmness that is different than a firmness of the bottom surface of the mattress.

11. A bedding system comprising: a mattress; an article of bedding comprising opposite first and second sides and a wall extending from the first side to the second side, the first side including opposite top and bottom edges and opposite first and second side edges that each extend from the top edge to the bottom edge, the article of bedding defining a mattress cavity, the mattress being positioned in the mattress cavity such that the mattress is encased by the article of bedding; spaced apart first and second pockets, the pockets being coupled to the first side, the pockets each extending continuously from a first end to an opposite second end, the first end being flush with the top edge, the second end being flush with the bottom edge, the first pocket being positioned adjacent to the first side edge and defining a first cavity, the second pocket being positioned adjacent to the second side edge and defining a second cavity; a first material positioned within the first cavity, the first material configured to directly engage the mattress when inserted into the first cavity; and a second material positioned within the second cavity, the second material configured to directly engage the mattress when inserted into the second cavity.

12. A bedding system as recited in claim 11 , wherein the pockets are removably coupled to the first side.

13. A bedding system as recited in claim 11 , wherein the pockets are removably coupled to the first side by a zipper.

14. A bedding system as recited in claim 11 , wherein the pockets are permanently coupled to the first side.

15. A bedding system as recited in claim 11 , wherein the pockets are sewn directly into the first side to permanently couple the pockets to the first side.

16. A bedding system as recited in claim 11 , wherein the mattress is positioned in the mattress cavity such that the first side directly engages a top surface of the mattress.

17. A bedding system as recited in claim 16 , wherein the mattress is positioned in the mattress cavity such that the second side directly engages a bottom surface of the mattress.

18. A bedding system comprising: a cover including opposite first and second sides and a wall extending from the first side to the second side, the first side including opposite top and bottom edges and opposite first and second side edges that each extend from the top edge to the bottom edge; spaced apart first and second pockets, the pockets each being removably coupled to the first side by a zipper, the pockets each extending continuously from a first end to an opposite second end, the first end being flush with the top edge, the second end being flush with the bottom edge, the first end of each pocket being flush with the top edge and the second end of each pocket being flush with the bottom edge, the first pocket being positioned adjacent to the first side edge and defining a first cavity, the second pocket being positioned adjacent to the second side edge and defining a second cavity; a mattress positioned in a mattress cavity of the cover such that the mattress is encased by the cover and the side directly engages a top surface of the mattress; a first material positioned within the first cavity, the first material configured to directly engage the mattress when inserted into the first cavity; and a second material positioned within the second cavity, the second material configured to directly engage the mattress when inserted into the second cavity.
