ABSTRACT:
The invention describes a bed in a suitcase requiring minimal preparation for use. It is intended for storage in, for example, a car or truck, and for use when the driver may not be in a condition to drive home. The bed is formed by mating a foldable mattress or pallet with bed clothing, such as an undersheet with a half-width sleeping bag cover. The foldable mattress has a number of cushioning elements which can be folded, especially when used in conjunction with material hinges, to fit within the suitcase. The cushions may also be extended to lie side by side in an extended position for sleeping. Some or all of those elements may have a hard shell mounted to their undersides to protect the mattress from broken glass or sharp objects. The suitcase and hard shell materials are resistant to water absorption and the bed clothing is removable and washable.
