Packaged inflatable pillow for multiple uses for body support and water device accessory including formation into a raft or mat

摘要

A stretchable pillowcase with an inflatable pillow or bladder having an attached pouch that can be folded onto itself and enclose the pillow and cover therein during non-usage. But, the pillow and case can be removed from the pouch, the pillow inflated, to provide a cushion use of the pillow for comfort, and to use as a flotation device, for recreational purposes. The pillow is made of a water-proof and inflatable material, such as polymer and rubber, and the case may be formed of a resilient fabric material. Its pouch likewise, is fabricated from an expandable material, to allow it to fold onto itself, and enclose the pillow and case therein, once the former has been deflated. The pillow in this case may contain a bladder, internally thereof, and which can be inflated with air under pressure to add to its comfortable usage. And, a series of the cases may be interlinked together into the formation for multiple shapes and sizes such as a raft, to provide full body support.
