* The Gemara establishes that the mitzvah of Tzitzit is primarily limited to the daytime. There's a dispute between the Rambam and Rosh whether the Gemara means to restrict the time when the mitzvah applies or to exempt clothing that are usually worn at night. The Tur poses a practical ramification of this dispute. According to the Rosh, who says that clothing which are specifically nighttime clothing are exempt, four cornered blankets wouldn't be obligated in Tzitzit. | * The Gemara establishes that the mitzvah of Tzitzit is primarily limited to the daytime.

* On the other hand, seemingly, according to the Rambam, who holds that the Gemara was restricting the time of the mitzvah, if one were to sleep with a blanket in the morning, the blanket would be obligated in Tzitzit. In fact, the Hagahot Maimoniyot (Tzitzit 3:7) records the Rabbenu Eliyahu MeParis's minhag to put Tzitzit on his blanket. Nonetheless, without explaining, the Bet Yosef 18:2 concludes that widespread minhag was not to put Tzitzit on one's blanket. | * On the other hand, seemingly, according to the Rambam, who holds that the Gemara was restricting the time of the mitzvah, if one were to sleep with a blanket in the morning, the blanket would be obligated in Tzitzit.

* In defense of the minhag, the Darkei Moshe 18:2 cites the Mordechai who states that one is only obligated in Tzitzit for clothing one wears and not for clothes that simply cover one's body. The Magen Avraham 18:8 cites those who disagree with the Mordechai but explains that it would suffice to round one of the corners in order to exempt the blanket from Tzitzit. See Aruch HaShulchan 18:8 who rejects the Magen Avraham's proof by differentiating between covering oneself with clothing and blankets which are only used for covering oneself and never worn regularly.</ref> | * In defense of the minhag, the Darkei Moshe 18:2 cites the Mordechai who states that one is only obligated in Tzitzit for clothing one wears (Levisha) and not for clothes that simply cover one's body (Haalah).
