One cannot cover oneself with Sha'atnez (wool & linen).
One may not sit on Sha'atnez.
If a wagon or convertible has a Sha'atnez cover then one has to be careful not to lean on the cover.
Hand towels, beach towels, tablecloths, pillows, blankets, slippers, mattresses and curtains all have to be Sha'atnez free.
However, the Parochet covering the Aaron HaKodesh can have Sha'atnez, as nobody would warm themselves with it.
One may create, own and sell Sha'atnez.

Halocho #564 - Wearing wool and linen
The Torah prohibits wearing clothes made of both wool and linen - this is know as Sha'atnez.
Even a single woolen thread in a linen garment is Sha'atnez, and a single linen thread in a woolen garment is Sha'atnez.
Threads made of a mixture of linen and wool may not be used.
Woolen garments with linen patches are also forbidden.
However, clothes made of leather - even if the wool is still attached - can be sewn with linen.
