Abstract: The sleigh bed platform is intended for use in ice fishing for transport of equipment such as a tent shelter and sized to accommodate a single reclining person for rest on the ice. Sleigh bed invention is very light easy to pull across thin ice. Three laminated plastic layers with a inner component of expanded polystyrene form a rigid truss and thermal barrier that makes the sleigh bed a comfortable resting place. Expanded polystyrene is insulation and extremely buoyant providing a float in cases of breaking thru lake ice. Multiple soft rope handles secure loads with no sharp edges around the bed. A second invention use is for evacuation of injured skiers. Lightweight sleigh bed is easy to carry to an injured skier. A rigid front handle facilitates moving down hill with a passenger secured to the sleigh bed.
