A pillow comprises a substantially U-shaped body defining a recess adapted to house the neck of a user. The U-shaped body has a rear portion and first and second side portions that define a rear wall and first and second side walls of the recess and define a shoulder-contacting base and an upper surface. The pillow has a first inflatable headrest having a lower part housed in the recess adjacent the first side wall of the recess and a second inflatable headrest having a lower part housed in the recess adjacent the second side wall of the recess. The first and second inflatable headrests are each alterable between a first configuration wherein they are deflated and a second configuration wherein they are inflated such that respective upper parts of the headrests extend upwardly from the recess so as to cover respective ears of a user.
A cushion assembly has a main body comprising a plurality of walls defining an interior cavity that is substantially polygonal in cross-section. At least one of the walls comprises an area of padding. A first opening to the cavity is located at a first end of the main body. A blanket is housed within the cavity and is removable from the main body. The cavity is adapted to house a vehicle armrest when the blanket is removed therefrom such that at least an upper surface of the armrest is at least partly covered by a wall having an area of padding.
An inflatable child seat (1) comprises an inflatable base (2), inflatable front and rear supports (4, 3), and first and second inflatable side supports (5, 6). The base (2) connects together the front (4), rear (3) and side supports (5, 6), and the side supports (5, 6) connect together the front and rear supports (4, 3). The front support (4) has at least one opening (7, 8) through which a child's legs may extend when the seat (1) is in use.
A plant tie (1) comprises a plastically deformable elongate body (2) having first and second free ends (7, 8) that are attachable to each other by means of at least one permanent magnet (5, 6).
