Abstract

A seating assembly includes a seat operable between a lateral use position and a vertical storage position. A mattress is disposed below the seat when the seat is in the lateral use position and held in place by securing features. The mattress is operable between an inflated condition and a deflated condition.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A seating assembly comprising:
a seat operable between a lateral use position and a vertical storage position;
a mattress disposed below the seat when the seat is in the lateral use position and held in place by securing features, wherein the mattress is operable between an inflated condition and a deflated condition; and
recesses configured to accommodate rail slides of an adjacent forward seat.

2. The seating assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:
a valve disposed on an outer wall of the mattress.

3. The seating assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:
an adapter hose that provides fluid communication between the mattress and a fluid pump.

4. The seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mattress includes biasing members configured to bias the mattress to a rolled position when the mattress is in the deflated condition.

5. The seating assembly of claim 1 , wherein a foam matrix is disposed within the mattress.

6. A vehicle seating assembly comprising:
a seat operable between a lateral use position and a vertical storage position;
a mattress disposed below the seat when the seat is in the lateral use position and held in place by securing features, wherein the mattress is operable between an inflated condition and a deflated condition;
a fluid pump in fluid communication with the mattress and configured to move air within the mattress to affect the inflated condition and the deflated condition; and
recesses configured to accommodate rail slides of an adjacent forward seat.

7. The vehicle seating assembly of claim 6 , further comprising:
a valve disposed on an outer wall of the mattress.

8. The vehicle seating assembly of claim 6 , further comprising:
an adapter hose that provides fluid communication between the mattress and the fluid pump.

9. The vehicle seating assembly of claim 6 , wherein the mattress includes biasing members configured to bias the mattress to a rolled position when the mattress is in the deflated condition.

10. The vehicle seating assembly of claim 6 , wherein a foam matrix is disposed within the mattress.

11. A vehicle seating assembly comprising:
a seat operable between a lateral use position and a vertical storage position;
a mattress disposed below the seat when the seat is in the lateral use position and held in place by securing features, wherein the mattress is operable between an inflated condition and a deflated condition, and wherein the mattress includes biasing members configured to bias the mattress to a rolled position when the mattress is in the deflated condition; and
a foam material disposed within the mattress and configured to draw air through an opening in an outer wall of the mattress, thereby moving the mattress to the inflated condition.

12. The vehicle seating assembly of claim 11 , further comprising:
a valve disposed at the opening of the outer wall of the mattress.

13. The vehicle seating assembly of claim 11 , further comprising:
an adapter hose that provides fluid communication between the mattress and a fluid pump.

14. The vehicle seating assembly of claim 11 , further comprising:
