System and method for modular furniture extensions

Abstract

A personal comfort system that is highly transformable, portable, and adaptable to a wide range of potential applications where an individual seeks to temporarily improve or otherwise enhance the functionality of existing furniture.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A modular furniture extension system, comprising:
 a transformable cushion; and   one or more edge fasteners on at least a first end of the transformable cushion and a second end of the transformable cushion, the second end being opposite to the first end for providing a connection to additional transformable cushions.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a shell for housing the transformable cushion. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein said shell for housing the transformable cushion cooperates with the one or more edge fasteners through corresponding openings. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a second transformable cushion being operatively coupled to the transformable cushion via the one or more edge fasteners. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , further comprising a third transformable cushion being operatively coupled to the transformable cushion on the end opposite of the second transformable cushion via the one or more edge fasteners. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the second transformable cushion is flat on a first surface and provides a parallel surface relative to the first surface on a second surface opposite to the first. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the transformable cushion is flat on a first surface and provides a sloped surface relative to the first surface on a second surface opposite to the first. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the transformable cushion is defined by a thickness between 1.5″ and 3″. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a fabric strip coupled to the transformable cushion for securing the transformable cushion to existing furniture. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a non-slip strip coupled to the transformable cushion for providing friction between the transformable cushion and existing furniture. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more edge fasteners comprise at least one of a metal button snap, a plastic button snap, and a hook and loop fastener. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the transformable cushion is defined by one or more sub-components, each separated from another by a channel defined therein. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein each channel defined between the one or more sub-components is variable. 
     
     
         14 . A modular furniture extension system, comprising:
 a transformable cushion;   a shell for housing the transformable cushion; and   one or more edge fasteners on at least a first end of the transformable cushion and a second end of the transformable cushion, the second end being opposite to the first end for providing a connection to additional transformable cushions, each of the one or more edge fasteners being exposed through the shell.   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , further comprising a second transformable cushion being operatively coupled to the transformable cushion via the one or more edge fasteners. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the transformable cushion is flat on a first surface and provides a sloped surface relative to the first surface on a second surface opposite to the first. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the transformable cushion is defined by a thickness between 1.5″ and 3″. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 14 , further comprising a non-slip strip coupled to the transformable cushion for providing friction between the transformable cushion and existing furniture. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the one or more edge fasteners comprise at least one of a metal button snap, a plastic button snap, and a hook and loop fastener. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the transformable cushion is defined by one or more sub-components, each separated from another by a channel defined therein.
