A disposable pillow or cushion cover is formed by an envelope of air and moisture impermeable material. The envelope encases the pillow or cushion and provides an impermeable resting surface upon which a user may rest the head or other body part on a clean, comfortable, fresh, hygienic, fragrant resting surface without having to change pillows, cushion covers or envelopes. The envelope contains a vent to permit ingress and egress of air from the pillow or cushion. The envelope also includes a se...

A vented bed sheet used as an upper sheet of a sheeted bed has a plurality of evenly spaced apertures having a diameter of approximately 1/8 inch only arranged in rows in the upper-body half to dissipate the sleeper's body heat during sleep in a warm, humid and even an air-conditioned environment.

A bed cushion providing a soft feeling without bottomed feeling and providing a cushionability even against a small load and a durability, and a bed using the cushion; a forming die for cushion capable of smoothly and neatly releasing a product by reducing a sticky feeling and a blocking produced when releasing the cushion formed by using elastomer; the cushion, comprising thin-walled partition walls erected parallel with each other generally in a lattice shape in plan view, whereby a soft conta...

A padded seating cushion having a main section at the front end and a pair of arms extending rearwardly therefrom to define a generally U-shaped aperture open and extending to the rear of the cushion to support the user's ischial portions while alleviating direct pressure on the coccyx. The arms define an inner section having inner side walls defining a thermal transfer chamber in which a thermal transfer unit is placed to selectively provide heat or cold for the user. The thermal transfer unit ...

A warming system, mounted to the foot of a bed, warms a person's lower extremities by directing air into the space between the mattress and overlaying blankets. A blower directs air into an elongated distribution chamber having many tiny exit apertures. The chamber is mounted at the foot of the bed, so that air exiting the apertures warms the person's feet. For maximum thermal transfer, the chamber is placed under the sheet and any blankets, but above the mattress cover and fitted sheet. The cha...

A body support comprising at least one layer of flexible material having a reticulated cellular structure is disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more of these layers comprises reticulated visco-elastic foam, and has at least one material property responsive to temperatures in the range of a user's body heat. In these and other embodiments, one or more of the layers of flexible material comprises non-visco-elastic foam, and can be combined in a body support with one or more layers of visco-ela...

A resilient foam or fiber cushion or mattress pad having wave-shaped top and bottom surfaces with the two surfaces angled relative to one another and the valleys of the wave-shaped patterns intersecting to create ventilation holes or apertures through the pad. The pad may be utilized either as a topper pad for a cushion or mattress or as a spring core element of a cushion or mattress.

A mattress apparatus for incontinent patients includes first and second resilient mattress portions each having a sloping end and a water repellent cover attached thereover. The covers are removably attached together to form a mattress. A liquid drain cover is made of a flexible, water repellent material and has first and second sections and is shaped to fit over the connected first and second resilient mattress portions. Each section of the liquid drain cover has a plurality of elongated ridges...

A non-woven, randomly oriented polyester fiber cushion is provided with conditioned air to regulate a temperature of the cushion assembly. The overlapping fibers form interstices through which the air is blown. The air flows through the fibers in a tortuous path.
