A yoga towel is for use in conjunction with a suitable mat or converter that allows an existing mat to be retrofitted to be used with the present yoga towel. The yoga towel has one or more magnets and/or metal attached, advantageously to its perimeter and/or with a center portion of the towel. A suitable surface such as a yoga mat will have a complementary metal and/or magnet so that when the yoga towel is placed on the yoga mat, the yoga towel through magnetic forces (i.e. attraction) is held in place. Advantageously, in one form, the magnets and/or metal are strips in the yoga towel and/or yoga mat are in the form of flexible strips of magnetic material and/or metal.

A weighted-corner towel apparatus for maintaining position of a towel includes a towel body having a body top side, a body bottom side, and a rectangular body perimeter including four corners. A plurality of weight pockets is coupled to the towel body. Each weight pocket is coupled to the body bottom side adjacent one of the corners of the body perimeter. A plurality of weight beads is coupled within the plurality of weight pockets. The towel body and each of the plurality of weight pockets is a heat and water-resistant material.

A blanket having a plurality of perimeter weight pockets that automatically allow any pocket weight material to fall out of the weight pockets upon disassembly of the blanket, is disclosed. The blanket pockets are formed with a pocket opening facing towards the perimeter of the blanket, and having a pocket closing flap that is releasably held in place over the pocket opening by a releasable retaining means. Examples of such retaining means may be magnets, hook and loop textile material, snaps, and buttons and elastic material. The retaining force of the retaining means is set to be approximately less than the gravitational force of the pocket weight material held in the pocket, such that when the blanket is lift, the pocket weight material forces open the pocket closing flap, and allowing the pocket weight material to automatically fall out of each perimeter weight pocket.

A convertible includes a cover, and first and second panels arranged a first distance from a top edge of the cover and a second distance from first and second side edges of the cover, respectively. The first and second panels each have a generally horizontal set of opposing sides and a generally vertical set of opposing sides. The generally horizontal set of opposing sides is attached to the cover and the generally vertical set of opposing sides is not attached to the cover. A method of converting a blanket into a cape is also disclosed.

A portable system with bean bags that can be used for playing games or as a towel. The playing surface can be constructed of a flexible, rollable material, such as a fabric used for towels. Games can be played by players tossing the bags toward holes on opposite ends of a playing surface. Nets can be placed in the holes and attached to the playing surface. When a user wants to use the system as a towel rather than a game, the bags can be stored in a storage pouch. The system can include stake holes for placing stakes into the ground to secure the playing surface. The system can further include a carry pouch for storing and transporting the playing surface. The playing surface can easily be rolled up and placed in the carry pouch.

Textile articles are readily convertible between stowed and unstowed configurations. The convertible articles include an outer cover portion and an inner textile portion. The outer cover portion forms an interior cavity having an opening therethrough, and the inner textile portion has a free end and an opposite bottom end. In the stowed configuration, the inner textile portion is stowed within the interior cavity of the outer cover portion such that the article forms a pillow, cushion, pad, or the like. In the unstowed configuration, the free end of the inner textile portion extends through the opening of the outer cover portion and the bottom end is attached to the interior cavity, such that the article forms a blanket, a quilt, a sleeping bag, a garment, or the like.

A towel mat comprising a fabric panel having a top, a bottom, a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side, wherein the ends are shorter than the sides. A top pocket having a padded lining, the pocket coupled to the top of the fabric panel near the first end and extending to a predetermined shape when the pocket is filled. The pocket is inflatable and shaped to support a user in a position that is at least partially upright. The bottom of the panel comprises a waterproof barrier layer. The towel mat further comprising a weighted portion sewn to the panel. The panel has at least one corner, and wherein the weighted portion comprises a compartment in which a user may place a weighted material.

An article is provided that permits a user to stay comfortable and warm in nearly any situation involving a chair or seat. The article includes a blanket portion that is connected to an elastic or inelastic fabric cover/pocket, which can be sleeved over the back of a chair. The cover keeps the blanket securely held in place on the chair. The design permits users to quickly move the blanket from one chair to the next, quickly get in and out of the chair, and quickly secure the blanket in the configuration that achieves the desired level of comfort and warmth. The design purposefully allows the user to cover the front and the back of their bodies. One or more detachable ‘seat belts’ connect the sides of the blanket, one to one another, creating an adjustable, custom, snug fit. Because the legs and feet are secure inside the blanket, the blanket is kept away from office chair wheels when rolling an office chair, thus the blanket does not get stuck in or under the wheels. The blanket has a foot placement area which is constituted of a layer of fabric with qualities that allows the user to wear shoes or enter with soiled feet without concern that it will damage or soil the inside of the blanket. The blanket may be folded and stored in the elastic fabric chair back cover, for use as a pillow or for easy travel/storage with one or more carry straps.

The present invention is a travel pillow device, and a method of manufacture for a travel pillow comprised of five fabric layers wherein the first two fabric layers are stacked and folded to create a stuff-able pillow pocket, the third fabric layer is folded and stacked in alignment with the pillow pocket forming an exterior pocket, the fourth fabric layer is folded and stacked in alignment with the pillow pocket and exterior pocket forming an interior pocket, and the fifth fabric layer is formed into a strap and attached to the underside of the interior pocket wherein the edges of the stack of folded fabric elements are sewn in a single sewing operation and then the pillow pocket is then stuffed and the interior pocket is pulled inside out forming a travel pillow.
