ABSTRACT:
A mattress-like pad for human body support, comfort and recreational use in outdoor camping, in recreational vehicles, and in water craft. The pad, of rugged construction, includes a light-weight inner pad structure fabricated of a stacked arrangement of a multiplicity of like rectangularly configured layers of two-ply laminated sheet plastic material encapsulating between the plys of each layer a multiplicity of uniformly arranged, separated and sealed air bubbles. The air-bubble layers are maintained in their stacked arrangment by inter-layer fasteners located proximate only the corners of the stack so as to permit some shifting of the layers to accommodate human body support characteristics and permit tight rolling-up of the mattress-like pad for storage and carrying thereof. The inner pad structure is removably encased within a bag-like containment cover fabricated of polyvinylchloride-coated polyester woven open mesh fabric material. The head end of the cover includes an extending closure flap with fasteners whereby when the matress-like pad is rolled up upon itself from the foot end to the head end of the cover and over the closure flap, the fasteners of the flap interact with mating fasteners affixed to the underside of the cover to maintain the mattress-like pad in its rolled-up configuration.
