An adjustable bed assembly for a vehicle includes a contoured bed frame, a foundation disposed in the bed frame and coupled to an articulated frame having a support platform with a plurality of sectional support members. A linkage mechanism couples the support platform to the foundation and a drive mechanism operably coupled to the linkage assembly adjusts the position of at least one sectional support member. A mattress is disposed on the support platform and configured to conform with the plurality of sectional support members. A monitor mounted on the bed frame is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. A control device has a first preset for concurrently adjusting the articulated frame and moving the monitor.

A four-suite unit positionable in an aircraft cabin to one side of a longitudinal aisle and including first and second suites positioned longitudinally-aligned and facing each other, a shared passageway positioned between foot ends of the first and second suites, third and fourth suites positioned longitudinally-aligned and to one side of the respective first and second suites, a first passageway positioned between a portion of the first suite and a portion of the third suite for accessing the third suite from the shared passageway, and a second passageway positioned between a portion of the second suite and a portion of the fourth suite for accessing the fourth suite from the shared passageway.

A vehicle includes a passenger cabin, a monument, a pet travel system, and a ventilation system. The pet travel system includes at least a portion of the monument and at least one pet storage module configured to be received in the portion of the monument. The ventilation system includes an inlet port defined in the at least one pet storage module, an exhaust port defined in the at least one pet storage module, and an exhaust duct. The inlet port is in flow communication with an air source outside of the pet travel system. The exhaust duct is in flow communication with the exhaust port. The pressure within the exhaust duct is lower than the pressure of the air source to cause air to flow from the air source through the at least one pet storage module from the inlet port to the exhaust port.

A cabin module for a commercial aircraft includes a set of bulkheads defining a quadrant with an inboard wall and converging side walls. The module is sub-divided by a removable partition which splits the module into two passenger compartments. The quadrant shape of the module enables it to overlap an adjacent seat area, thereby using space between seat areas that is otherwise underutilised. In a particular form the modules define a single central aisle which transitions from a pair of parallel aisles aft via a Y-shaped transition region.

Two seats (16) are arranged facing in opposing directions, wherein each seat comprises a seat back (40), a headrest (48), and a seat pan (42). Each seat is configured to convert between a seat position and a bed position. A partition (18) is positioned between the two seats.

Disclosed herein is a portable bed having particular application for use in an aircraft. The aircraft bed includes a folding frame and a folding mattress to lay on and be supported by the folding frame. The folding frame includes a plurality of upstanding panels that are hingedly coupled side-to-side one another so that the frame can be collapsed from an expanded unfolded configuration at which to support the mattress to a compact folded configuration at which to be suitable for storage. In one embodiment, the folding frame is located between a pair of aircraft seats that face one another, and the mattress extends between the seat portions of the facing seats. In another embodiment, the folding frame is located between an aircraft seat and an upstanding structure (e.g., a wall) of the aircraft, and the mattress extends between the reclined back portion of the aircraft seat and the upstanding structure by way of the folding frame.

A cantilevered mattress that can be positioned along a row of airline seats to provide a resting surface for a user includes a mattress pad and an at least one cantilever. The at least one cantilever is adjacently connected to the mattress pad and laterally extends from the mattress pad in order to engage with the airline seats. The mattress pad includes a padded layer and a plurality of bottom supports, wherein the padded layer cushions the user and the plurality of bottom supports maintain the padded layer in a flat position across the airline seats. The padded layer has a first section that is hinged to a second section, allowing the first section to be lifted and thus enabling the user to take a seated position during takeoff and landing. A seatback cover and privacy curtain may also be included to provide additional privacy, storage, lighting, etc.

An aircraft viewing platform system and method that enables passengers to view the exterior of the aircraft while in flight includes a canopy assembly, a platform assembly supporting at least one seat, and an elevating mechanism to facilitate raising the platform into a volume of the canopy assembly extending through a fuselage cutout beyond the fuselage periphery. The system and method may include an actuating mechanism such as a jack screw or a telescoping system. The platform can have integrated rollers slide configured to roll in guide rails. The system can include a control panel that regulates the elevating mechanism motion. The control panel allows the viewer to move the platform. The platform can include a rotating pedestal to allow passengers have a 360-degree view of the aircraft exterior.
