Sleep-a-way couch

Abstract

A sleep-a-way couch. The sleep-a-way couch has a first support adapted to support a first mattress. The sleep-a-way couch has a second support adapted to support a second mattress and moveably positionable and is generally positionable beneath the first support. The sleep-a-way couch has a seating portion having a width and being positioned above the surface on which the sleep-a-way couch rests to define a seating height. The first mattress and the second mattress are about the same length and the ratio of the seating width to the seating height is within the range of from about 0.8 to about 1.3.

1 . A sleep-a-way couch comprising: 
 a first support adapted to support a first mattress;    a second support adapted to support a second mattress and moveably positionable and generally positionable beneath the first support; and    a seating portion having a width and being positioned above the surface on which the sleep-a-way couch rests to define a seating height;    wherein the first mattress and the second mattress are about the same length and the ratio of the seating width to the seating height is within the range of from about 0.8 to about 1.3.    
   
   
       2 . The sleep-a-way couch of  claim 1  further comprising one or more caster wheels positioned generally beneath the second support.  
   
   
       3 . The sleep-a-way couch of  claim 2  wherein the first mattress and the second mattress are about the same width.  
   
   
       4 . The sleep-a-way couch of  claim 1  wherein the first support and the second support are about the same length.  
   
   
       5 . The sleep-a-way couch of  claim 4  wherein the first support and the second support are about the same width.  
   
   
       6 . The sleep-a-way couch of  claim 1  wherein the first support is a platform.  
   
   
       7 . The sleep-a-way couch of  claim 1  wherein the second support is a platform.  
   
   
       8 . The sleep-a-way couch of  claim 1  wherein the second support is moveably positionable along two or more axes.  
   
   
       9 . The sleep-a-way couch of  claim 1  wherein the ratio of the seating width to the seating height is about 1.0.  
   
   
       10 . The sleep-a-way couch of  claim 1  wherein the first mattress and the second mattress are about the same width and the first support and the second support are about the same width.  
   
   
       11 . A method of providing a sleeping surface comprising: 
 providing a first support adapted to support a first mattress, positioning a second support adapted to support a second mattress and moveably positionable and generally positionable beneath the first support; and    moving the second support from beneath the first support, wherein the first mattress and the second mattress are about the same length and the ratio of the seating width to the seating height is within the range of from about 0.8 to about 1.3.    
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the second support is operatively connected to one or more caster wheels.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 12  wherein the first mattress and the second mattress are about the same width.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the first support and the second support are about the same length.  
   
   
       15 . A method of  claim 14  wherein the first support and the second support are about the same width.  
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the first support is a platform.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the second support is a platform.  
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the second support is moveably positionable along two or more axes.  
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the ratio of the seating width to the seating height is about 1.0.  
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the first mattress and the second mattress are about the same width and the first support and the second support are about the same width.
