Abstract
A portable surface for lounging or sleeping with an elevated leg rest and backrest, and a seat that rests on the ground or other supporting surface such as a car seat, truck bed or bleacher. The various parts of the chair can be folded up and nest inside of each other in a compact bundle that may fit in a backpack or a map pocket for easy portability. When folded up, a strap can be tightened around the apparatus preventing the innards from unfolding, creating a smaller profile.
