Abstract (en)

The invention which is the subject of the application is a support device (2) for supporting a person in comfort when lying or sitting thereon. The device is adaptable to be moved to different configurations for use, said configurations including a sleeping configuration when the device is laid flat to act as a mattress and a seating configuration where part of the support device is upstanding with respect to the remainder of the device. The device includes an inflatable structure which is split into sections (26,28,30) by a series of portions (34,36) which act as hinge points to allow the sections to be relatively moved to provide the required configuration of the device.
