HUDDERSFIELD — One of the notable challenges in premium airline classes today is the accumulation of soft products on seats, often referred to as "Mount Blankets." This includes items such as pillows, cushions, blankets, duvets, mattress pads, pyjamas, slippers, and amenity kits. The lack of ample storage spaces for these items can create inconvenience for passengers.
John Horsfall, a company specializing in soft products based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, has proposed an innovative solution. They have designed a blanket with an internal pocket into which the blanket can be folded. This design aims to keep the blanket neat and tidy while allowing it to be used as a cushion and eliminating the need for wasteful plastic wrappers.
Kirsty Sumner, Product Manager at John Horsfall, explained to Runway Girl Network: “The pocket pack is something that we have showcased a number of times in a number of different ways. It can be used for less plastic packaging but also to reduce numbers of items on the seat: it can be converted from a pillow to a mattress or a pillow to a blanket or a pillow to a duvet so it helps with storage. It’s a design feature: something creative that can be used in multiple ways to promote brand or route.”
