Abstract
A cushioning member includes a medium-filled cushioning component and a surrounding member. The medium-filled cushioning component includes a first cushioning portion and a second cushioning portion. The surrounding member includes a first tubular portion, a second tubular portion, and a connecting portion that connects an end of the first tubular portion in a direction parallel to a first central axis and an end of the second tubular portion in a direction parallel to a second central axis. The connecting portion is bendable such that a posture of the first tubular portion and the second tubular portion is changed between a parallel posture in which the first central axis is parallel to the second central axis and an intersecting posture in which the first central axis intersects the second central axis.
