A system for supporting individuals or objects is disclosed that can be used, e.g., as a bunk for sleeping upon within a vehicle, such as, e.g., a truck or commercial vehicle. The system preferably includes: a) a support platform having an upper surface to support at least one individual or object within a vehicle; b) a pivot mechanism connected to said support platform so as to pivot said support platform around a pivot axis to move between a stored position and a deployed position in which the support platform supports said at least one individual or object; c) at least one flowable-medium spring having a first end fixed relative to said vehicle and a second end fixed relative to said support platform at a location displaced from said pivot axis; d) each of said at least one flowable-medium spring being arranged so as to impart an extension force that biases said support platform toward said deployed position and so as to impart an extension force that biases said support platform toward said stored position during at least portions of the movement of said support platform between said stored position and said deployed position.
