The present invention relates to a blanket lined with an airborne pathogens filtering layer. The blanket features fabric layers and one or more filtering layers disposed between fabric layers. In one embodiment, a single non-woven polypropylene filter layer is disposed and, in another embodiment, an ultraviolet ray protection layer and an airborne pathogen filtering layer is disposed between the fabric layers. The filter layer may be a N95, KN95 or PM2.5 filter layer and helps prevent harmful airborne pathogens from passing through the blanket and being inhaled by a child, effectively reducing the chance of contracting an illness.

An aromatherapy system is created including a scent cartridge, puck, and pillow. A scent cartridge may be a disposable cartridge for diffusing scented fluid, such as essential oils, through a pillow. A scent cartridge may be orientated within a puck, such that the puck may support the scent cartridge within a pillow while preventing the scent cartridge from directly contacting fill of the pillow.

Provided are fabrics and lifting devices that are high performance and skin friendly, for patient care, including as bed linens upon which a patient may sleep and/or rest, as well as patient slings for lifting and/or repositioning a patient.

A quilt structure with non-powered energy layer having an insulating layer, a first barrier layer, a second barrier layer, a first fabric layer and a second fabric layer is provided. The first barrier layer and the second barrier layer are disposed on two opposite sides of the insulating layer. The first fabric layer is disposed on one of the first barrier layer or the second barrier layer opposite the insulating layer, and the second fabric layer is disposed on another of the first barrier layer or the second barrier layer opposite the insulating layer. At least one of the insulating layer, the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer has bio-energetic fibers or far-infrared fibers.

A device and method for preventing the spread of a communicable disease during a close proximity services session is provided. The method includes assembling a device to a face cradle of a massage table prior to the close proximity services session, wherein the device captures one or more respiratory droplets excreted by a client during the close proximity services session. The device includes a closed sidewall, an open sidewall, a top portion mechanically connected to the closed and to the open sidewall, wherein the top portion includes a securing means for securing the top portion to the face cradle and a bottom portion mechanically connected to the closed sidewall.

A bedsheet and/or blanket having a stress relieving squeezable element releasably secured to an edge of a bedsheet, blanket or pillow case for use in achieving stress relief, and thereby promoting restful sleep by squeezing and releasing the squeezable element. In a preferred embodiment the is place in a fabric pocket for releasable attachment to the bedsheet, blanket or pillow case by a flexible strap. The squeezable element is formed from rubber or a polymer gel.

Provided are a weighted blanket and method of manufacturing. The weighted blanket has a laminated structure comprising: a bottom sheet; a top sheet having electromagnetic field (EMF) shielding embedded therein; a batting layer between the sheets; and Far-Infrared-emitting bioceramic beads. The blanket is quilted to retain the beads in quilted pockets. The blanket provides FIR emissions to the user, while protecting them from external EMF.

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.
