Class 24 Trademark Registration for Bedding Brands: Protect Bed Sheets & Pillow Covers

When you walk into a home décor store or shop online, one of the first things that catch your attention is the bedding collection—bed sheets, pillow covers, duvets, and blankets. Bedding is more than just a utility product; it reflects comfort, style, and personality. With the rise of home décor startups, online bedding brands, and eco-friendly textile businesses, the competition in this market has grown stronger than ever.

If you are a business owner selling bedding products, protecting your brand becomes essential. One of the most effective ways to secure your brand identity is through trademark registration. Bedding products like bed sheets, pillow covers, quilts, and blankets fall under Trademark Class 24, which is specifically designed for textiles and fabrics.

In this detailed guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about trademarking bedding products in Class 24, why it’s important, the filing process, and common mistakes to avoid.

🧵 What Is Trademark Class 24?

Trademark Class 24 covers textile products and fabrics that are not included in other classes. If your business manufactures or sells products like bedding, curtains, table covers, upholstery fabric, or raw textiles, this is the correct class for you.

✅ Examples of Products in Class 24:

  • Bed sheets, pillow covers, blankets, quilts, duvets
  • Curtains, draperies, and upholstery fabric
  • Tablecloths and table linen
  • Towels and textile covers
  • Textile materials such as cotton, silk, polyester, and linen

👉 In short: If it’s a fabric used for home furnishing or bedding, it belongs in Class 24.

🛏️ Why Bedding Brands Need Trademark Protection

Running a bedding business is not just about offering high-quality fabrics; it’s about building a brand identity that customers trust. Here’s why trademarking bed sheets, pillow covers, and bedding products is crucial:

1. Protects Your Brand Name and Logo

Your brand name and logo are your biggest assets. Trademark registration ensures that no competitor can use a confusingly similar name or logo for bedding products.

2. Prevents Counterfeiting

The bedding industry faces major risks of cheap counterfeits and copycats. A registered trademark gives you legal rights to take action against infringers.

3. Builds Customer Trust

Consumers prefer to buy from recognized and registered brands. A trademark adds credibility and strengthens customer loyalty.

4. Supports Business Expansion

If you plan to expand your brand into international markets, a trademark is a must. With protection in Class 24, you can also apply through the Madrid Protocol for global coverage.

5. Future-Proofs Your Brand

Even if you are currently selling only bed sheets, a trademark in Class 24 also protects future products like quilts, duvets, and pillow covers under the same class.

🧩 Trademark Class 24 vs. Other Related Classes

It’s important to avoid confusion and file under the correct class:

  • Class 24 → Bed sheets, pillow covers, blankets, quilts, curtains (fabric-based household products).
  • Class 25 → Clothing, footwear, and headgear (not bedding).
  • Class 20 → Furniture and mattresses (not fabric).
  • Class 27 → Carpets, rugs, mats, and wallpapers.

👉 Bedding products like bed sheets and pillow covers always belong in Class 24.

📜 Step-by-Step Guide to Trademarking Bedding Products in Class 24

Now let’s go through the step-by-step filing process to secure your bedding brand:

Step 1: Trademark Search

  • Visit the official IP India trademark search portal.
  • Check if your brand name or logo is already registered under Class 24.
  • If the name is unique, you can proceed with filing.

Step 2: Choose the Right Class

Since bedding products are covered in Class 24, make sure you mention bed sheets, pillow covers, blankets, quilts, and related textiles clearly in your application.

Step 3: Prepare Documents

You will need:

  • Applicant details (individual, partnership, or company)
  • Brand name/logo design
  • Proof of business (incorporation certificate, MSME certificate, or GST)
  • Power of Attorney (if filing through an agent)

Step 4: File the Application

  • Submit online via the IP India portal or through a trademark attorney.
  • You will receive an acknowledgment number immediately.

Step 5: Examination by Registrar

  • The Registrar checks if your application meets all legal requirements.
  • If no objections, it moves to the next stage.

Step 6: Publication in Trademark Journal

  • Your brand will be published in the Trademark Journal for 4 months.
  • During this time, others can oppose your trademark if they feel it conflicts with theirs.

Step 7: Trademark Registration Certificate

  • If no objections are raised, your trademark gets registered.
  • You receive a registration certificate valid for 10 years (renewable indefinitely).

⚖️ Common Mistakes Bedding Brands Should Avoid

Many bedding businesses make errors while filing, which can lead to rejection or weak protection. Avoid these mistakes:

  1. Filing Under the Wrong Class
    Some businesses mistakenly file under Class 20 (furniture) or Class 25 (clothing). Bedding products must always go in Class 24.
  2. Choosing a Generic Name
    Names like “Comfort Bedsheets” or “Soft Pillow Covers” are too generic. Use unique and distinctive names for better trademark protection.
  3. Not Doing a Proper Search
    Failing to check for existing trademarks can lead to rejection. Always do a thorough trademark search.
  4. Delaying Registration
    If you delay filing, competitors may register a similar name, and you may lose legal rights.
  5. Not Renewing on Time
    Trademarks must be renewed every 10 years. Failing to renew can make your brand vulnerable.

📊 Cost of Trademark Registration in Class 24

The cost depends on whether you are an individual or a company:

  • Individuals/Startups/MSMEs → ₹4,500 per application (online)
  • Companies/LLPs → ₹9,000 per application (online)

👉 Additional fees apply if you hire a trademark attorney or consultant, but professional help increases the chances of approval.

🌍 Trademarking Bedding Brands Internationally

If you plan to sell your bedding products overseas, you should consider international trademark registration.

  • Apply under the Madrid Protocol after getting your Indian trademark.
  • Protects your brand in 100+ member countries with a single application.
  • Essential for brands planning to export bedding products globally.

🛍️ Real-Life Example: Trademarking a Bedding Brand

Imagine you launch a brand called “DreamNest” that sells organic cotton bed sheets and pillow covers.

  • Under Class 24, you can trademark:
    • Bed sheets
    • Pillow covers
    • Quilts
    • Blankets
    • Comforters

This ensures no other bedding brand can use the same or a similar name. Later, if you expand into furniture (Class 20) or clothing (Class 25), you can file in those classes separately.

💡 Benefits of Trademarking Bedding Products in Class 24

  1. Exclusive Rights → Only you can use your brand name/logo for bedding products.
  2. Legal Protection → You can sue copycats or counterfeiters.
  3. Brand Recognition → Builds trust and loyalty among customers.
  4. Asset Value → A registered trademark increases the value of your business.
  5. Global Expansion → Makes it easier to secure international rights.

🔮 Future of Bedding Brands & Trademarking

  • Eco-friendly textiles → Organic cotton and bamboo-based bed sheets are rising in demand.
  • Luxury bedding brands → High-end consumers want premium and unique designs.
  • Smart textiles → Technology-based bedding products may create new markets.
  • International growth → Indian bedding brands are increasingly expanding into global markets.

With competition increasing, trademark protection will become even more important in the coming years.

🏆 Conclusion

If you are selling bed sheets, pillow covers, blankets, or other bedding products, filing a trademark under Class 24 is non-negotiable. It ensures your brand is protected from copycats, builds consumer trust, and supports your long-term business growth.

  • Class 24 = Bedding and textile products
  • Protects fabric-based home furnishing items like bed sheets, pillow covers, curtains, and quilts
  • Valid for 10 years, renewable indefinitely

A trademark is more than a legal formality—it’s a shield for your brand identity in the competitive bedding market.
