A chest configured to transition between an open position and a closed position, the chest including an enclosure configured to store a foldable mattress supported by a sleeping platform when the foldable mattress is in an unfolded state, the chest comprising:
- a top panel, a front panel, and side panels, the top panel configured to rest on one or more of the side panels and the front panel without hinges connecting same when the chest is in the closed position, and to be manually lifted off of the chest to completely detach the top panel from the chest such that the top panel is freely movable in all directions relative to the chest and can be subsequently positionable to form a lower portion of the sleeping platform when the chest is in the open position while a top portion of the top panel remains oriented in a same direction as prior to detachment from the chest.
A chest configured to transition between an open position and a closed position, the chest including an enclosure configured to store a foldable mattress supported by a sleeping platform when the foldable mattress is in an unfolded state, the chest comprising:
- a top panel, a front panel, and side panels, the top panel configured to be manually lifted vertically off of the chest to separate the top panel from the front panel such that the top panel is subsequently positionable to form a lower portion of the sleeping platform while a top portion thereof remains oriented in a same direction as prior to separation from the front panel, wherein the front panel is configured to transition between an upward position and a downward position, the front panel configured to form a middle portion of the sleeping platform when the front panel is in the downward position.
A chest configured to transition between an open position and a closed position, the chest including an enclosure configured to store a foldable mattress supported by a sleeping platform when the foldable mattress is in an unfolded state, the chest comprising:
- a top panel, a front panel, and side panels, the top panel configured to be manually lifted vertically off of the chest to separate the top panel from the front panel such that the top panel is subsequently positionable to form a lower portion of the sleeping platform while a top portion thereof remains oriented in a same direction as prior to separation from the front panel;
- and
- a folding slat deck within the enclosure, the folding slat deck configured to transition between an unfolded state in which the folding slat deck is horizontally oriented and a folded state in which the folding slat deck is vertically oriented such that the folding slat deck separates the enclosure into a top portion and bottom portion when the folding slat deck is horizontally oriented in the unfolded state and combines the top portion and the bottom portion of the enclosure into a single usable space when the folding slat deck is vertically oriented in the folded state.
