Abstract: The pet resting structure comprises a base and a pad, wherein the pad is selectively receivable within a recess of the base. The base is constructed of a single continuous member of foam material that provides structural integrity and of a cover that may encapsulate the foam material, protecting it from various forms of damage. The pad may comprise a cushioning material providing a deformable pet resting surface and an encapsulating cover. Further, both covers may include a waterproof inner lining to protect the foam material from water damage and non-slip pad to prevent unwanted movement during use. The pet resting structure also includes at least one fastener such that the pad and base are selectively securable. Additionally, a method of constructing the base includes injecting a liquid foam material within a single part mold, such that upon its solidification, a solid foam material may then be removed.

Abstract: A device for transporting and protecting a mattress via a cover containing straps and buckles, which allow the mattress to optionally be secured in a folded position. The cover may be made of a durable, water-impermeable fabric or other material, such as Cordura®, which both protects the mattress and its surroundings from damage. The cover may include, an end opening, such as a zipper, which allows the cover to slide over the mattress and then be enclosed therein. A strap or straps may be attached to the mattress, and the mattress may be folded in half and buckled in order for it to be transported. An additional strap and buckle may be located in the center of the cover to add additional support if necessary. The cover further may contain eight handles that may be used to pick up and transport the mattress.
