Bedding foot pocket device

Abstract

A bedding foot pocket device is provided. The device preferably may be used with a mattress having a top wall and bottom wall upon which individuals commonly sleep. The device may include a body which may receive all or portions of the mattress. A pocket panel may be coupled to the body so that when a mattress is received by the device, the pocket panel may be positioned above the top wall thereby forming a pocket between the pocket panel and the body. The pocket panel may have a terminal edge which may provide access to the pocket. The body may receive portions of a mattress and a user may rest on the body and mattress. The user may selectively insert portions of their body, such as their feet, into the pocket by passing portions of their body under the terminal edge between the pocket panel and the body.
