Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of priority from Chinese Patent Application No. 202120396359.0, filed on Feb. 23, 2021. The content of the aforementioned application, including any intervening amendments thereto, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.


TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates to sleeping pads, and more particularly to a multi-layer sleeping pad.


BACKGROUND

The sleeping pad is a kind of air pads, which can be used in many aspects. In medical treatment, the air pad allows the patient lying thereon to turn the body more easily, so as to prevent the back wound from being compressed, damp and inflected in a scabbing period, and avoid the occurrence of bedsores. In addition, the air pads can be used outdoors such as beaches. Sometimes, the air pad itself can also work as a bed. However, the conventional air beds are usually filled with air only, such that they are prone to uneven stress under an external force, leading to rapid and large deformation. Moreover, the existing air beds cannot work anymore when an air leakage occurs.
