Weighted blanket device with support pillow

Abstract

The present invention is a weighted blanket device that includes a weighted section and at least one support pillow but may or may not include a non-weighted section. The weighted blanket device provides support and/or comfort to certain applicable body area(s) of a user during use. As a non-limiting embodiment, the weighted blanket device preferably includes a first end, a second end, a right side, a left side, a top surface, a bottom surface, a length, a width, a weighted section, a non-weighted section, and one support pillow. As another non-limiting embodiment, the weighted blanket device includes a pair of support pillows. As non-limiting examples of embodiment(s) that includes a pair of support pillows, the support pillows may be of the same size or of different sizes. Preferably, the length of the weighted blanket device is shorter than the lengths of conventional weighted blankets.

1 . A weighted blanket device comprising:
 a weighted blanket section comprising a first end, a second end, a right side, a left side, at least one weighted element, a length, and a width; and   at least one support pillow comprising a first end, a second end, a body portion, and a length.   
     
     
         2 . A weighted blanket device comprising:
 a weighted blanket section comprising a first end, a second end, a right side, a left side, at least one weighted element, a length extending from said first end to said second end, and a width extending from said right side to said left side; and   at least one support pillow comprising a first end, a second end, a body portion, a lip portion, and a length,   wherein said at least one support pillow is secured about a corresponding side of said weighted blanket section whereby, during use, a corresponding support pillow of said at least one support pillow is able to be positioned proximate a corresponding side of the user while a sufficient portion of a desired covered body area of the user is able to be covered by said weighted blanket section.   
     
     
         3 . The weighted blanket device according to  claim 2 , wherein said length of said weighted blanket section is sufficiently long to cover at least a sufficient portion of a torso of the user during use while not reaching the feet of the user. 
     
     
         4 . The weighted blanket device according to  claim 2 , wherein said lip portion of said at least one support pillow is dimensioned and configured for being positioned underneath a corresponding side of the user. 
     
     
         5 . The weighted blanket device according to  claim 4 , wherein said lip portion of said at least one support pillow has a pointed tip directed away from said body portion of said at least one support pillow and also away from said corresponding side of said weighted blanket section. 
     
     
         6 . The weighted blanket device according to  claim 2 , wherein said at least one support pillow is a pair of support pillows, and wherein a first support pillow of said pair of support pillows is secured about said right side of said weighted blanket section while a second support pillow of said pair of support pillows is secured about said left side of said weighted blanket section. 
     
     
         7 . A weighted blanket device comprising:
 a weighted blanket section comprising a first end, a second end, a right side, a left side, at least one weighted element, a length extending from said first end to said second end, and a width extending from said right side to said left side,   wherein said length of said weighted blanket section is sufficiently long to cover at least a sufficient portion of a torso of the user during use while not reaching the feet of the user; and   at least one support pillow comprising a first end, a second end, a body portion, a lip portion, and a length,   wherein said at least one support pillow is secured about a corresponding side of said weighted blanket section whereby, during use, a corresponding support pillow of said at least one support pillow is able to be positioned proximate a corresponding side of the user while a sufficient portion of a desired covered body area of the user is able to be covered by said weighted blanket section, and   wherein said lip portion of said at least one support pillow is dimensioned and configured for being positioned underneath a corresponding side of the user.   
     
     
         8 . The weighted blanket device according to  claim 7 , wherein said lip portion of said at least one support pillow has a pointed tip directed away from said body portion of said at least one support pillow and also away from said corresponding side of said weighted blanket section.
