groundsheet/mattress/mattress cover Explanation: use blankets as a groundsheet/mattress If you are talking about covering the ground outside - then I would use "groundsheet" If you are talking about covering the floor inside a building then in English we usually say "mattress". If you are using the blankets to cover a mattress, which is then covered by sheets and then more blankets - then I would probably say "mattress cover. It all depends on the context |
