Abstract
A method for thermally insulating a cushion can include the step of affixing a metalized fabric to an exterior surface of the cushion so as to cause a reduction in radiant heat transfer between external objects and the exterior surface. The method further can include the step of wrapping the metalized fabric with at least one additional layer of fabric. The method yet further can include the step of wrapping the metalized fabric with at least one additional layer of cushioning material. Finally, the method yet further can include the steps of placing a non-metalized fabric in a vacuum chamber; and, depositing metallic elements within fibers of the non-metalized fabric in the vacuum chamber to produce the metalized fabric.
