A pillow is provided herein which includes a cover having opposing first and second panels. A gusset perimetrically bounds, and joins, the first and second panels. The gusset is formed of an open cell construction. Compliant fill material is disposed within the cover. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a pillow is provided allowing for lateral ventilation between opposing panels. This permits a cooling effect while a user is resting or sleeping.

A warming bag and snow suit combination includes a warming bag having an interior space between the front side and the back side. A slit extends through the front side and extends from a hole in the front side wherein the slit is openable to provide access to the interior space. A slit closure closes the slit. A perimeter closure coupled to the warming bag extends along an edge of the warming bag. The perimeter closure secures the warming bag in a folded position. Each of a pair of straps is coupled to the back side spaced apart for carrying the warming bag in the folded position. A snow suit is provided having a pair of arms, a pair of legs, and a torso section. Each of the arms and the legs is coupled to and extends from the torso section.

Systems and methods are provided for detecting liquid in a textile article using one or more flexible sensors integrated in the textile article. The sensor data is forwarded to a computing device via a communication link by an interface element associated with the textile article. The computing device detects a location of liquid in the textile article proximate to the one or more flexible sensors based on a determination that a criterion is met.

A health pillow may include a main pillow body, at least one groove and at least one mat, wherein the groove is formed on a top surface of the main pillow body and the mat is disposed into the groove to absorb a user's sweat, and the mat having a cotton pillowcase and one or more fillings, including field buckwheat shell, tartarian buckwheat shell, tea leaves, wula sedge, semen cassia, lavender, camphorwood balls, and activated aluminum oxide. In one embodiment, the mail pillow body is made of memory foam, hydrophilic cotton, latex or latex foam. In another embodiment, the cross section of the groove is rectangular, round or oval. In a further embodiment, the main pillow body is curved.

The present invention provides a thermal insulation filling material and preparation method thereof and a thermal insulation product, and pertains to the field of thermal insulation filling materials. The thermal insulation filling material of the present invention includes: a bulk fibre; and a spherical fibre assembly, where a water-repellent layer is formed on a surface of the bulk fibre and of the spherical fibre assembly, and a weight ratio of the bulk fibre to the spherical fibre assembly is between about 30:70 and about 70:30. The thermal insulation filling material is good in wash durability, and has comprehensive performance such as better blowable processability, quick-drying property, compression-resilience property, and thermal insulation property, etc. The method for preparing the thermal insulation filling material includes: adding a water-repellent agent in the process of gas-flow mixing the bulk fibre and the spherical fibre assembly, and then heating to form a water-repellent layer on the surface of the bulk fibre and of the spherical fibre assembly.

A mosquito repellent and antibacterial mat includes a mat body. The upper surface cloth includes a surface cloth layer formed by a surface cloth including a mosquito repellent agent and antibacterial agent, and a coating layer. A plurality of parallel filler spaces arranged at intervals are arranged and spaced between the upper surface cloth and the lower surface cloth. The mosquito repellent and antibacterial picnic mat further includes a plurality of airholes, which are disposed on at least one side of the mat body and for selectively allowing flow or air between the plurality of filler spaces an exterior of the mat body. A sealing cap allows a user to selectively block flow of air through the airholes. Thus, the mosquito repellent and antibacterial picnic mat of the present invention achieves mosquito repellent and antibacterial effects as well as being comfortable and compressible in size to be readily portable and stored.

A user customizable blanket is formed by a sheet of fabric with a perimeter about the blanket in any one of a round, square, rectangular, circular, or other polygonal shape. Along the perimeter of the blanket, a plurality of spaced-apart receptacles are formed that may selectively engage and disengage a plurality of message-bearing icons. The plurality of receptacles are configured to engage and disengage the plurality of message-bearing icons without the use of an additional tool. The plurality of receptacles include any one of a hole, a snap, a hook and loop attachment, and a pin.

A backpack apparatus equipped with an extendable inflatable sleep surface is shown. The apparatus is configured to appear similar to that of a conventional backpack, having dual straps for shoulder carry, as well as wheels and an extendable handle. An inflatable sleeping surface is concealed within the apparatus, and is configured to extend out from the apparatus when desired. Horizontal straps ensure that the sleeping surface remains retracted during travel, or the surface is housed within a compartment of the apparatus. A retractable awning is disposed at a top of the apparatus, and is configured to extend in order to provide shade during rest. The awning is equipped with a night light. The apparatus is preferably equipped with an internal battery, which may be used to recharge portable electronics via a USB output.

A bed-mounted exercise system. The bed-mounted exercise system includes a platform removably securable to a bed via a plurality of straps and an exercise pad removably securable to the platform. The pad includes a lower surface including a plurality of attachment fasteners thereon. The platform includes an upper surface including a plurality of mating fasteners thereon. The pad is removably securable to the platform via engagement of the plurality of attachment fasteners with the plurality of mating fasteners. A plurality of strap apertures disposed on the platform are configured to receive either a first end or a second end of one of the plurality of straps therethrough. The platform can be positioned atop a mattress and secured to a bed frame thereunder via fasteners disposed on the plurality of straps. The pad can then be fastened to the platform, providing a comfortable yet stable surface on which to perform exercises.
