Abstract: A mattress for use on a suspended hammock. The mattress, which may be filled with a fluid or a resilient material, has a convex lower surface that compensates for the natural downward bowing or sagging that occurs in a hammock suspended by its ends. Since the cross-section of the mattress is curved, a convex lower surface fits into the downward bow of the cradle while an upper surface remains relatively flat. In a preferred embodiment, the mattress is oriented in the hammock longitudinally, parallel with the suspension wires supporting the hammock. In an alternative embodiment, the mattress is positioned transversely on the hammock, at right angles to the suspension wires. In yet another alternative embodiment, the suspension wires are attached directly to the mattress and the cradle is omitted.

Abstract: A self-contained hand-held bidet device, for providing lavaging action with portability and convenience. The device comprises a housing having a motorized pump with a power source and switch for activating the pump. The pump draws fluid from a reservoir mounted at one end of the housing and pumps the fluid through a pivotal conduit to exit as a spray. Lightweight construction, a collapsible reservoir and the pivotally mounted wand facilitate convenient storage.
