- 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the arm rest and the back rest have separate inflation chambers.
- 11. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein each segment, the back rest and the arm rest are inflatable independent of each other.
- 12. The apparatus of claim 9, further including a covering, with the base retained inside the covering.
- 13. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the apparatus assumes the configuration of a seat when the segments are pivoted to be stacked on top of each other.
- 14. A method of converting a sleeping apparatus into a seat, comprising:
a. providing an apparatus having:
an inflatable base having two separate segments that include a first segment and a second segment pivotably coupled to the first segment; an inflatable back rest attached to the second segment; and an inflatable arm rest attached to the back rest and the second segment; and b. pivoting the first segment to be positioned on top of the second segment.
- 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the base further includes a third segment pivotably coupled to the first segment, and further including:
c. pivoting the third segment to be positioned on top of the first segment.
