ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a bed comprising a mattress which, in the event of an earthquake, is mechanically lowered into its rectangular frame. The movement caused by the earthquake further causes an attached, large, rectangular cover to mechanically collapse onto the top of the rectangular frame, thereby protecting the occupant or occupants of the bed. The bed and cover contain additional springs and supports, respectively, which enable the present invention to withhold the weight of accumulated and falling debris. Once an occupant is safely within the collapsed bed, means are provided within the bed to sustain the life of the occupant until outside assistance is received. When the cover of the bed is in its uncollapsed position, it unobtrusively lies against a wall of a bedroom acting as a vertical extension of the headboard and further containing useable and decorative shelves and/or cabinets.
