Benefits of technology

[0007]The present invention was made in the light of these problems. An object of the present invention is to provide a shelter bed which quickly protects the user lying on the shelter bed from falling objects in an event of earthquakes and the like, and achieves sufficient and stable buoyancy to have the user floated on a water surface and to make rescue work easier in the event of water-related disasters.

Problems solved by technology

This movement is difficult for persons incapable of immediately moving their bodies, such as a physically disabled and sick individual.
As for the latter of the above-described beds, there is a problem that a user cannot protect his / her body from rubble falling onto the bed in the event of disasters such as earthquakes.
Moreover, since the mattress has a flat shape, the mattress is unstable when floating on the water surface and causes large drag when moving on the water surface, which makes it difficult for a rescue worker to tow the mattress with a physically disabled or sick individual thereon while keeping his / her body on a water surface in the event of water-related disasters.
