Bedding capable of temperature control

The present invention relates to bedding capable of controlling the effective temperature. The bedding comprises: an outer cover part formed to put a head thereon or to cover a body, having an insertion hole formed therein in a lengthwise direction, and having ventholes formed at constant intervals in a lengthwise direction at both sides of the insertion hole to communicate with the outside; and a tube inserted with a gap from the inside of the insertion hole, having an air inlet formed at either or both ends to supply air into the inside, and having an expansion piece placed at a position facing the ventholes, wherein the tube allows the expansion piece to expand depending on air supplied into the inside to close the ventholes or to contract to connect the ventholes to one another. As configured above, the tube having the expansion piece formed thereon is inserted into the outer cover part having the ventholes formed thereon, and the expansion piece expands depending on air supplied into the tube to close the ventholes or contracts to connect the ventholes, thereby enabling ventilation and heat insulation by the expansion and contraction of the tube.
