Abstract: A multi-position sleeping structure includes a sheet material envelope defining a cavity with an opening. An inflatable mattress is received and substantially enclosed within the cavity of the sheet material envelope. A cover portion which, in conjunction with a top surface of the envelope, defines a sleeping area in which a person can lie and be supported by the mattress. The mattress has a plurality of transversely extending hinges that separate the mattress into a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The hinges allow the mattress to be moved between at least a substantially horizontal sleeping position and a seating position. The sheet material envelope has a retaining pouch to retain the mattress in the seating position. The retaining pouch is suitably sized and positioned to receive the mattress and sheet material envelope therein for storage purposes when the mattress is in the deflated storage condition.

Abstract: A multi-position sleeping structure includes a sheet material envelope having an opening into a cavity defined therein. An inflatable mattress is received and substantially enclosed within the cavity of the sheet material envelope. A cover portion which, in conjunction with a top surface of the envelope, defines a sleeping area in which a person can lie and be supported by the mattress. The mattress has a plurality of transversely extending hinges that separate the mattress into a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The hinges allow the mattress to be moved between at least a substantially flat sleeping position and a seating position. The sheet material envelope has a retaining pouch on a bottom side thereof that is positioned to receive the first portion of the mattress when in the seating position so as to retain the mattress in the seating position.

Abstract: A collapsible storage device comprising a resilient frame and sheet material with respect to which the frame is located. The resilient frame and sheet material form the side walls of the device and are movable between a flattened condition and an erected condition to which the resilient frame is biased. At one end of the device there is provided a base and at the other end there is provided an opening. The opening has a single closure element which has a first part attached to one side of the opening and a leading edge which can be moved about a pivotal point between a position at the said one side of the opening so that the storage device is open and a position at or in contact with the other side of the opening to close the opening. The closure element is movable with the storage device between flattened and erected conditions.
