The inflatable mattress may include an inflatable mattress chamber with two elongated inflatable chambers attached to the inflatable mattress chamber. The two elongated inflatable chambers may provide support and stability for the inflatable mattress chamber. The tent may be a collapsible tent coupled to the inflatable mattress chamber. The inflatable mattress and the tent, when deflated and collapsed, respectively, may be rolled-up or folded-up into a compact state for transport and/or storage. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An inflatable apparatus, comprising: an inflatable mattress, the inflatable mattress comprising an inflatable mattress chamber in fluid communication with two elongated inflatable chambers, the two elongated inflatable chambers being positioned lengthwise along longitudinal edges of the inflatable mattress chamber, wherein the two elongated inflatable chambers are positioned at least partially underneath the longitudinal edges of the inflatable mattress chamber, wherein at least a portion of each of the two elongated chambers extend beyond a width of the longitudinal edges of the inflatable mattress chamber; and wherein the inflatable mattress chamber includes a top planar surface and a bottom planar surface when inflated; an inflation device coupled to the inflatable mattress chamber and the two elongated inflatable chambers, the inflation device configured to inflate the inflatable mattress chamber and the two elongated inflatable chambers to raise the inflatable mattress chamber to a selected inflated height; wherein, when inflated, the two elongated inflatable chambers have an inflated height, and wherein the bottom planar surface of the inflatable mattress chamber is in tangential contact with both of the two elongated inflatable chambers along their outer surfaces at the inflated height of the two elongated inflatable chambers; and a portable shelter coupled to an upper surface of the inflatable mattress chamber. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein top planar surface of the inflatable mattress chamber comprises a firm surface that supports a human body when inflated. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of each of the two elongated chambers provide support for the inflatable mattress chamber when inflated. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the top planar surface of the inflatable mattress chamber comprises a surface material that inhibits sliding of an object on the top planar surface of the inflatable mattress chamber. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the portable shelter comprises a collapsible tent. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising one or more poles configured to couple to and support the portable shelter. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the inflation device comprises a compressed gas cylinder attached to the inflatable mattress. ### Claim 8 An inflatable apparatus, comprising: an inflatable mattress chamber, wherein the inflatable mattress chamber includes a top planar surface and a bottom planar surface when inflated; two elongated inflatable chambers in fluid communication with the inflatable mattress chamber, the two elongated inflatable chambers being positioned lengthwise along longitudinal edges of the inflatable mattress chamber; wherein at least some portion of the two elongated chambers extends beyond the longitudinal edges of the bottom surface of the inflatable mattress chamber; an inflation device coupled to the inflatable mattress chamber and the two elongated inflatable chambers, the inflation device configured to inflate the inflatable mattress chamber and the two elongated inflatable chambers to raise the inflatable mattress chamber to a selected inflated height; and a portable shelter coupled to an upper surface of the inflatable mattress chamber; wherein the two elongated inflatable chambers are positioned at least partially underneath the longitudinal edges of the bottom planar surface of the inflatable mattress chamber with the longitudinal edges of the bottom planar surface of the inflatable mattress chamber extending wider than centers of the two elongated inflatable chambers. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the top planar surface of the inflatable mattress chamber comprises a firm surface that supports a human body when inflated. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The apparatus of claim 8, wherein at least a portion of the bottom planar surface of the inflatable mattress chamber is in contact with the centers of the two elongated inflatable chambers at uppermost inflated heights of the two elongated inflatable chambers when the two elongated inflatable chambers are inflated. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the portable shelter comprises a collapsible tent. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising one or more poles configured to couple to and support the portable shelter. ### Claim 13 An inflatable apparatus, comprising: an inflatable mattress chamber; two separate, elongated inflatable chambers coupled to the inflatable mattress chamber, wherein the two separate, elongated inflatable chambers are in fluid communication with the inflatable mattress chamber, the two separate, elongated inflatable chambers being positioned in parallel lengthwise along opposing longitudinal edges of the inflatable mattress chamber; wherein at least ¼ to ½ of the two separated, elongated inflatable chambers extend wider than the longitudinal edges of the inflatable mattress chamber; an inflation device coupled to the inflatable mattress chamber and the two elongated inflatable chambers, the inflation device configured to inflate the inflatable mattress chamber and the two elongated inflatable chambers to raise the inflatable mattress chamber to a selected inflated height; and a portable shelter coupled to an upper surface of the inflatable mattress chamber; wherein the two elongated inflatable chambers are positioned at least partially underneath the longitudinal edges of the inflatable mattress chamber; and wherein, when the two elongated inflatable chambers and a lower surface of the inflatable mattress chamber are at the selected inflated height, the lower surface of the inflatable mattress chamber is in contact with uppermost inflated points of the two elongated inflatable chambers, the uppermost inflated points being the uppermost points with respect to a ground surface configured for the two elongated inflatable chambers. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the inflatable mattress chamber is positioned above the two separate elongated inflatable chambers with substantially all of the inflatable mattress chamber being positioned above the inflated heights of the two separate, elongated inflatable chambers when the two separate elongated inflatable chambers are inflated. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the uppermost inflated points comprise attachment points between the two separate, elongated inflatable chambers and the inflatable mattress chamber. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the portable shelter comprises a collapsible tent. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The apparatus of claim 13, further comprising one or more poles configured to couple to and support the portable shelter.
