Sheet-Saving Devices

The 'Cover Clamp' Rescues Sheets from the Clutches of Greedy Sleepers

— August 22, 2016 — Art & Design
Anyone with a spouse or significant other who has a penchant for stealing the sheets in the middle of the night will find their saving grace with the Cover Clamp. The sleep-saving device is a method for thwarting blanket hogs by ensuring that they can't take more than their fair share of the covers, no matter how hard they pull or how much they toss and turn.

The Cover Clamp is simple yet ingenious. It comes with a flat plastic piece that connects to a strap, and on the end of that strap is a clamp. To use the Cover Clamp, the plastic base goes under the side of the bed that most often ends up coverless, and the consumer then clamps the sheets and comforter to the strap. With that system in place, the body weights of the two sleepers are enough to hold the sheets tight.
Trend Themes
1. Sleep Tech - The Cover Clamp is just one example of an innovative trend in sleep technology now making life easier for couples who want a great night's sleep.
2. Bedding Solutions - The Cover Clamp joins products in a wider bedding solutions trend that represents disruptive innovation opportunities for startups and established firms alike in the bedding market.
3. Domestic Harmony - The Cover Clamp reflects a larger trend of technology solutions enhancing harmony in everyday life, including household items like the Cover Clamp which promises to address the issues of comfort and sleep sharing.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Goods - The Cover Clamp and other bedding innovations have clear disruptive innovation potential for companies in the consumer goods industry seeking to help people improve their daily lives.
2. Home Improvement - The Cover Clamp is part of a wider category of home improvement inventions focused on practical solutions, presenting opportunities for brand differentiation and new products across the industry.
3. Sleep Products - The Cover Clamp is a disruptor in the sleep products segment of the bedding industry, highlighting a growing demand for innovative and practical ways of creating an optimal sleeping environment.
