7. The device of claim 5 , wherein the cover includes an opening sized to receive the elongated body therethrough and a fastener device for selectively closing and securing the opening.
8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the fastener device is a zipper.
9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the hook and loop fastener includes a first portion that is fixed to the elongated body and a second portion that is coupled to the wall.
10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the second portion of the hook and loop fastener is secured to the wall with a releasable adhesive material.
11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first end includes a first end surface and the second end includes a second end surface, the hook and loop fastener being spaced apart from the end surfaces.
12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the elongated body has rounded corners at the first end and the second end.
13. The device of claim 1 , wherein the planar surface extends an entire length of the elongated body.
14. A device for reducing contact between a wall of a structure and a headboard of a bed frame, the device comprising:
an elongated body comprising a cushioning material, the elongated body having a truncated cylindrical shape with a planar surface extending along the length of the elongated body; and
an attachment system for releasably securing the elongated body to the wall of the structure in an elevated position relative to a floor of the structure and between the wall and the headboard of the bed frame, the attachment system being secured to the planar surface of the elongated body,
wherein the elongated body is configured to function as a physical barrier between the wall and the headboard when secured to the wall with the attachment system, and
wherein the attachment system comprises a hook and loop fastener extending continuously from the first end to the second end, the hook and loop fastener being positioned equidistant between the proximal and distal surfaces.
15. The device of claim 14 , wherein the device includes a cover configured to enclose the elongated body, and further wherein the cover is configured to be removable from the elongated body.
16. The device of claim 15 , wherein the cover includes an opening sized to receive the elongated body therethrough and a fastener device for selectively closing and securing the opening.
17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the fastener device is a zipper.
18. The device of claim 14 , wherein the hook and loop fastener includes a first portion that is fixed to the elongated body and a second portion that is coupled to the wall.
19. The device of claim 18 , wherein the second portion of the hook and loop fastener is secured to the wall with a releasable adhesive material.
20. A device for reducing contact between a wall of a structure and a headboard of a bed frame, the device comprising:
