First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A mattress covering comprising a fabric that allows moisture from an adjoining body to dissipate away from the body, wherein the fabric comprises grams per square meter greater than about 125, wherein the fabric has a denier between about 50 to about 300, wherein the mattress covering extends from a top end to an opposite bottom end and has opposite first and second side surfaces that each extend between the top and bottom ends and has a width from the first side surface to the second side surface about 110 inches and a length from the top end to the bottom end about 106 inches, and wherein the mattress covering is seamless from the top surface to the bottom surface and from the first side surface to the second side surface. 2. A mattress covering as recited in claim 1 , wherein the fabric allows heat from an adjoining body to dissipate away from the body. 3. A mattress covering as recited in claim 1 , wherein the fabric comprises a performance fabric. 4. A mattress covering as recited in claim 1 , wherein the fabric comprises a knitted fabric. 5. A mattress covering as recited in claim 1 , wherein the fabric comprises a circular knitted fabric. 6. A mattress covering as recited in claim 1 , wherein the fabric comprises a plurality of strands that are adapted to form a plurality of openings in the fabric. 7. A mattress covering as recited in claim 1 , wherein the fabric comprises a material selected from a group consisting of acrylic, acetate, cotton, linen, silk, polyester, wool, nylon, rayon, spandex, lycra, hemp, manmade materials, natural materials and blends or combinations thereof. 8. A mattress covering as recited in claim 1 , wherein the fabric has a denier between about 70 to about 120. 9. A mattress covering comprising a fabric that allows moisture from an adjoining body to dissipate away from the body, wherein the fabric comprises grams per square meter greater than between about 75 and about 125, wherein the fabric has a denier between about 50 to about 300, wherein the mattress covering extends from a top end to an opposite bottom end and has opposite first and second side surfaces that each extend between the top and bottom ends and has a width from the first side surface to the second side surface about 110 inches and a length from the top end to the bottom end about 106 inches, and wherein the mattress covering is seamless from the top surface to the bottom surface and from the first side surface to the second side surface. 10. A mattress covering as recited in claim 9 , wherein the fabric comprises grams per square meter between about 90 and about 110. 11. A mattress covering as recited in claim 9 , wherein the fabric allows heat from an adjoining body to dissipate away from the body. 12. A mattress covering as recited in claim 9 , wherein the fabric comprises a performance fabric. 13. A mattress covering as recited in claim 9 , wherein the fabric comprises a knitted fabric. 14. A mattress covering as recited in claim 9 , wherein the fabric comprises a circular knitted fabric. 15. A mattress covering as recited in claim 9 , wherein the fabric comprises a plurality of strands that are adapted to form a plurality of openings in the fabric. 16. A mattress covering as recited in claim 9 , wherein the fabric comprises a material selected from a group consisting of acrylic, acetate, cotton, linen, silk, polyester, wool, nylon, rayon, spandex, lycra, hemp, manmade materials, natural materials and blends or combinations thereof. 17. A mattress covering as recited in claim 9 , wherein the fabric has a denier between about 70 to about 120. 18. A mattress covering comprising a fabric that allows moisture from an adjoining body to dissipate away from the body, wherein the fabric comprises grams per square meter greater than about 125, wherein the fabric has a denier between about 50 to about 300, wherein the mattress covering extends from a top end to an opposite bottom end and has opposite first and second side surfaces that each extend between the top and bottom ends and has a width from the first side surface to the second side surface about 105 inches, and wherein the mattress covering is seamless from the top surface to the bottom surface and from the first side surface to the second side surface. 19. A mattress covering as recited in claim 18 , wherein the fabric allows heat from an adjoining body to dissipate away from the body. 20. A mattress covering as recited in claim 18 , wherein the fabric comprises a performance fabric. 21. A mattress covering comprising a fabric that allows moisture from an adjoining body to dissipate away from the body, wherein the fabric comprises grams per square meter greater than about 100, wherein the fabric has a denier between about 50 to about 300, wherein the mattress covering extends from a top end to an opposite bottom end and has opposite first and second side surfaces that each extend between the top and bottom ends and has a width from the first side surface to the second side surface about 110 inches and a length from the top end to the bottom end about 106 inches, and wherein the mattress covering is seamless from the top surface to the bottom surface and from the first side surface to the second side surface. 22.
