The present invention is generally directed to a cover for a bedding product. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the cover includes a multi-layer non-woven fabric that defines an interior lining of an encasing for a bedding product. This lining, and the encasing in general, is formed to substantially encase the bedding product, whether it be a mattress, pillow, or other product. The cover further includes an outer fabric that is integrally attached to the multi-layer non-woven fabric lining. The outer layer may be comprised of any suitable fabric, such as flannel, cotton, satin, etc.. For example, if the cover is a pillow cover, the outer fabric should be such that it matches the material of the remainder of the linen set. Thus, if it is a pillow case for a set of cotton sheets, then the outer layer will preferably be cotton. If it is a pillow case for a set of flannel sheets, then the outer layer will preferably be flannel. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a cover is provided for an item of upholstered furniture. In accordance with this aspect of the invention, the cover includes a spunbond-melt-blown-spunbond laminate fabric that is integrally attached to an outer fabric. The two fabrics, together, are then particularly sized and shaped to cover the item of furniture. It will be appreciated that the item of furniture may be a sofa, a chair, a love-seat, an ottoman, or other furniture item. The outer layer of fabric may be cloth, or other fabric, depending on the furniture. In this regard, the invention provides an inner lining for an otherwise upholstered item of furniture, whereby the inner lining provides a breathable, but effective barrier against dust mites. |
