A smart block can include a plurality of displays and configurable magnet components to selectively attract or repel other smart blocks. The smart block can include proximity sensors to identify a surface of another smart block close to the smart block to determine if the smart blocks are correctly oriented based on an application or game associated with the operation of the smart blocks. A plurality of smart blocks can be configured to display a portion of a picture (as a puzzle), such that when the smart blocks are oriented correctly they collectively display the complete picture. The smart blocks can be used in conjunction with a smart mat that is configured to move the smart blocks in response to commands received from a remote computing device. The smart blocks and the smart mat can facilitate interactivity with other, remote users, such as between a caregiver and a child.

The present invention is a bedding system that simultaneously: 1) simplifies the process of installing a fitted sheet; 2) simplifies the process of removing and reinserting a duvet from a duvet cover; 3) secures a duvet inside the cover so it does not shift, bunch, or fold inside the cover; and 4) allows a user to quickly and easily to make a bed with all parts neatly aligned. The system comprises: a fitted sheet with zippers, a duvet, a duvet cover, and optionally a flat sheet. The invention further comprises a plurality of magnets and/or thin ferrous metal plates that secure a duvet inside the cover such that it does not shift, bunch, or fold inside the cover and align the duvet cover with the fitted sheet.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a therapeutic furniture apparatus. The therapeutic furniture apparatus includes a non-magnetic base. The non-magnetic base has a vertical portion that extends vertically from the base, and a horizontal portion that extends from the vertical portion at a first location over the non-magnetic base. A non-magnetic ring attachment structure is coupled to the horizontal portion of the non-magnetic support structure at a second location disposed directly over the non-magnetic base. The non-magnetic ring attachment structure extends from the horizontal portion toward the non-magnetic base. A plurality of non-magnetic ring structures are coupled to the non-magnetic ring attachment structure and disposed between the horizontal portion of the non-magnetic support structure and the non-magnetic base. A plurality of permanent magnets are disposed at regular intervals on each of the plurality of non-magnetic ring structures.

The present disclosure describes methods and apparatus for a modular headboard that is assembled by magnetically coupling of a plurality of magnetic mounting units to one or more magnetic base boards. The present disclosure also describes a set of pre-formed liners designed to maintain the cleanliness of the floor of an automobile, the sheets comprising adhesive regions and, in some embodiments, a textured region on the top surface of the sheets.

A portable therapeutic unit and system for treating a back, a neck, or the back and the neck of a user is disclosed. The therapeutic unit includes a first seat, a back support, a hinge, and a metal back. The first seat is designed for the user to sit thereupon. The back support is designed to support a back of the user. The hinge pivotally connects the first seat and the back support. The metal back is connected to the back support, with the metal back magnetically coupling with an attachment magnet. Further, the attachment magnet couples to a therapeutic aid to deliver treatment to the user.

An armrest for a chair includes a first member and a second member. The first member includes a body extending in a longitudinal direction from a first end to a second end. The body includes one or more recesses. The first member also includes one or more magnets disposed in the one or more recesses. The second member is releasably attached to the first member. The second member includes a cavity configured to receive the first member and one or more magnetizable plate members disposed in the cavity. The one or more magnetizable plate members are adjacent the one or more magnets when the first member is received in the cavity.

A method of installing an array of linear foam strips designed to be vertically stacked with their linear axes parallel and vertically aligned under a region of a mattress that requires a raised contour on its top face to alleviate a medical condition or to repair a sag in the mattress. The foam strip arrays come in 24 or 32 inch lengths to correspond to the width of standard mattress. Each linear foam strip has a different width but none of the strips are within 25% of the width of any other foam strip. The widths of the four different foam strips in the array has been carefully sized to allow the best possible combinations to develop the proper height and side slope of the contour developed in the mattress's top face.

A removable cushion for a chair having an outer surface and an inner foam, as well as at least one magnetic member. The inner foam and the outer surface are formed from the same polymer, with the outer surface forming an integral skin over the inner foam. The outer surface defines an upper surface and a lower surface. The lower surface is structurally configured to be positioned in an abutting relationship with a seating surface of a chair. The at least one magnetic member is embedded within one of the outer surface and the inner foam, the at least one magnetic member positioned closer to the lower surface than the upper surface of the outer surface. A chair having the cushion, and a mold is likewise disclosed, as is a method of manufacturing the cushion.

A modular furniture assembly includes: a base member having a frame assembly, a transverse member having a frame assembly, a foot configured to contact a support surface, and a mounting platform having a plurality of apertures therethrough. The mounting platform is configured to be mounted on the base member frame assembly and the transverse member frame assembly, thereby connecting the frame assemblies. The foot is selectively mounted on the mounting platform, such that the foot is configured to contact the support surface when the modular furniture assembly is in an upright configuration. The mounting platform connects the base and transverse member frame assemblies together and also acts as a platform for receiving a variety of different types of feet.

A bedsheet system comprises a middle portion, a foot connector, and a head connector. The middle portion has a length and a width defining a plane, the length has a first end and a second end. The foot connector is attached to the first end of the middle portion and has at least one sheet connector mechanism. The head connector is attached to the second end of the middle portion and has at least one sheet connector mechanism. The foot connector and the head connector extend generally perpendicular from the plane of the middle portion.
