Benefits of technology

"The Cushy Wrap is a blanket that provides full coverage and support while still allowing the user to have full range of motion for their arms and hands. It is designed to be used while sitting up in bed, on a couch, or on the floor. The blanket has strategically positioned insulation sections that provide warmth and support to the entire body. The insulation sections are permanently sewn into the blanket or can be inserted into separate pockets, allowing the user to customize the level of comfort and support. The insulation material used is either expanded polystyrene beads or solid or shredded memory foam, and each section is designed to provide multiple levels of comfort and support. The Cushy Wrap is manufactured in two sizes, child and adult, to ensure a design that provides warmth, comfort, and support for various body sizes."

Abstract

The Cushy Wrap represents the first blanket which provides the user with full coverage and support, while enabling full range of motion for arms and hands. The Cushy Wrap was designed to be used while sitting up in bed, on a couch or on the floor. Current blankets available in the market that provide the user with full range of motion for arms and hands do not provide full coverage like the Cushy Wrap. The Cushy Wrap is uniquely designed with strategically positioned insulation sections that provide support to the entire body when wrapped in the blanket. The shape and dimensions of the insulation sections are determined to provide optimal comfort to each of the main body parts, head and neck, arms, back, and legs. The insulation section shapes include squares and rectangular shapes with a size that provides focused comfort to the body part it is positioned to support.
