Abstract: A cushioning device (100) has a unitary body formed from a resilient material. The unitary body has a length, a width, and a thickness; first and second ends (104, 106) located opposite each other in a direction of the length of the unitary body; first and second coupling mechanisms (108, 110) located on the first and second ends of the unitary body; and a slot (116) through the thickness of the unitary body. The length of the unitary body is greater than the width of the unitary body. When the unitary body is in a looped configuration, the first and second coupling mechanisms are couplable to each other to hold the unitary body in the looped configuration. When the unitary body is in the looped configuration, the slot is capable of having a side or a corner of an object slid therethrough so that the unitary body in the looped configuration provides cushioning for the object.
