Comforter With Low Heat Retention Characteristic And Method Of Making

Abstract

A bed cover comforter made of multiple fabric layers which are stitched together to form rows of pockets across the comforter each having a number of tiny weights such as metal shot confined therein instead of conventional heat retaining fillers to increase the weight of the comforter without increasing its heat retaining properties to not be too warm while having the feel of a conventional comforter.

1 . A bed cover comforter comprised of multiple layers of fabric sewn together to form a pattern of rectangular sections each of which forms a closed pocket containing a plurality of tiny weights confined therein, thereby providing a distributed weight to the comforter without increasing its heat retention characteristics. 
     
     
         2 . The comforter according to  claim 1  wherein said weights comprise metal shot. 
     
     
         3 . The comforter according to  claim 1  wherein two decorative outer covers of fabric have sandwiched therebetween two scrim layers which confine the weights in said sewn in pockets. 
     
     
         4 . A method of forming a comforter of enhanced weight comprising stacking together a plurality of rectangular panels of fabric material; sewing together said panels on three sides while leaving one side open;
 forming a series of spaced apart parallel stitchings extending from the open side to the opposite sewn together side to form a series of flattened tubular compartments extending from the open side to the opposite sewn together side which compartments are open at one end and closed at the other end;   introducing a plurality of tiny weights into each compartment and raising the open side of the sewn together layers to cause them to settle down to the closed end;   sewing stitching across the compartments parallel to the closed side opposite the open side of the panels but spaced a short distance therefrom to form a row of closed pockets each confining said plurality of weights therein; and   repeating said steps to produce additional rows of closed pockets confining said weights until the open side is reached, and then sewing said open side together.
