A removable extension system for converting an existing row of seats 1 into a lying surface comprising a supporting device 4 which provides a horizontal load-bearing surface 2 adjacent the front edge of the seat portions of and at the height of the sitting surface. Securing means (19, 20, 23-26 in Figures 8-11) may be provided for securing the supporting device. Preferably there is a cushioning system 3 which covers, partially or totally, a seat row 1 and an adjacent load-bearing surface 2. The supporting device may be a collapsible structure (see Figure 1), inflatable (see Figure 8) or suspended from either the row of seats 1 or the adjacent row of seats 14 in a variety of different methods. The system is preferably to be used in an aircraft. |
