Abstract: A combination body rest (for lounging at the beach, for example) and totebag includes a pair of frame members hinged at the tops thereof and covered with fabric so as to form a storage compartment. The unit further includes a seat panel adapted to serve as a ground cover when the unit is used as a body rest. Tabs provided with cooperating snap fasteners are secured to the bottom portions of the frame members. The tabs are adapted to be fastened to one another when the unit is carried as a totebag to (1) hold the bottoms of the frame members relatively close to one another, (2) provide added support for the contents of the storage compartment, and (3) maintain the seat panel in a rolled-up, out-of-the-way position beneath the storage compartment.
