ABSTRACT:
A musical mat of the present invention includes a mat portion having a pillow connected to one end thereof. The mat includes a casing with a resilient padding material therein for supporting a person. A pair of speakers are mounted in the pillow and spaced apart so that a person can lie with his head between the speakers. A radio, or other audio transmitting device, is maintained in position within a pocket on the mat, and may be connected to a plug which is electrically connected to the speakers in the pillow, to transmit the audio signal to the speakers. The electrical conductor connecting the plug to the speakers is mounted within the mat casing and within the pillow, such that the wires do not interfere with the person lying on the mat. The pocket for retaining the audio transmitter is selectively fastened to the mat, to allow removal of the pocket and transmitter for use of the mat without the sound system. A series of solar panels is mounted along the upper face of the lower end of the mat, which are selectively electrically connected to allow an audio-transmitter, so as to supply power from the solar panels. A series of transverse and parallel seams are sewn completely through the mat so as to allow the mat to be rolled up into a cylinder without the padding material bunching within the mat casing. In a second embodiment, a fastener strip is mounted along the longitudinal sides, and bottom edge of the mat. A cover blanket is selectively fastened to the fasteners to form a sleeping bag structure.
