A disposable travel mask has a body and is held in position over the nose and mouth of a wearer. The body of the ask has a filter area for entrapping air-borne contaminates. The filter area has at least two layers, such as an inner layer adjacent the wearers mouth and an outer layer. The outer layer entraps large contaminates such as dust and also traps at least a portion of the bacteria or other germs. The other layer entraps contaminates that have passed through the first layer. The travel mask may be assembled from commonly available materials. For example, an anti-allergen filter material may be sealed to a surgical mask or a laser mask. The travel mask may have a printed design or pattern to make the travel mask more aesthetically pleasing and to allow the travel mask to better blend into a travel environment.

The invention disclosed herein is directed to a temperature modulated, inflated and deflated support cushion and methods of use for providing comfort and reducing or alleviating the development of pressure sores for persons confined to wheelchairs or beds for extended time periods. The disclosed invention is particularly adaptable as a support cushion in the form of a mattress, mattress cover, seat cushion, or seat cushion cover and can be combined with any mattress or seat to provide temperature modulated, inflating and deflating cellular support cushions. Two components of the disclosed invention are critical. Utilizing a plurality of flexible and hollow cells capable of being repeatedly filled and depleted with a fluid, preferable air, the cells being arranged so that (1) the cells being depleted are next to or contiguous only with cells that are not being depleted, those cells being depleted of fluid must not be in contact with the individual such that a pocket of air exists between the depleted cell(s) and the individual, and (2) the temperature of the cells is maintained at or about an average of about 5 degrees Fahrenheit less than the average body temperature of a healthy human, but not less than about 25 degrees Celsius. The phrase “pocket of air” as used herein is intended to convey a gap or space between deflated cell(s) and the skin (even in circumstances where a sheet or other cover is between the cushion and the skin) such that skin surrounding the pocket or air is supported by non-depleted cells, and the skin directly above or on the region of depleted cells is not in contacted with the depleted cells. In this manner, those portions of the skin above the pocket of air created by the fully depleted cell(s) are, in essence, not in contact with the cushion to allow complete disassociation between those portions of the skin and the depleted cell(s). The term “average” in reference temperature of the cells is intended to convey that the temperature can be regulated so as not to be uncomfortable for the individual using the cushion, and need not be maintained at a constant temperature.

A mattress cover and related system for removing and replacing same is disclosed herein. The cover is specifically designed for special cushions required for bedridden hospital patients or those confined to a wheelchair in preventing pressure ulcers (or bed scores). A rigid application guide is also provided to assist hospital staff in replacing the cover as well as novel means for fastening. It is further contemplated that the cover be disposable and comprised of two-ply material with a first being a plastic material and a second being paper based material.
