As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the present invention provides inflatable furniture 10 having a body 12, including a seating section 14, an upright section 16, and side sections 18. Multiple speaker units 20, 22, and 24 are built into separate compartments 26, 28, and 30 of the body 12; wherein the separate compartments 26, 28, and 30 are in the headrest 32, or armrest 34, or in a removable pillow 36.

Figures 1 A and 2B are a detailed perspective views showing the speaker 20 in the headrest 32. As shown in Figures 1 A and 2B, there is a battery compartment 70 for housing the batteries 74 which are rechargeable and the speaker unit 78 is connected to batteries 74 as a power source.

Figures 3 and 4 show a second embodiment in the form of a love seat 100. Speaker housing 124 and speaker 120 are shown in Figures 3 A and 3B.

Figures 5 and 6 show a third embodiment in the form of a couch 200. Speaker housing 224 and speaker 220 are shown in Figures 5A and 5B.

Figures 7, 8, 9, and 10 show another embodiment in the form of an inflatable foldout bed 300. Speaker housing 324 and speaker 320 are shown in Figures 7A and 7B.

Figures 11 and 12 show another embodiment in the form of an inflatable air mattress 350. Speaker housing 354 and speakers 352 are shown in Figure 11 A.

It should be understood that the present invention also provides an alternative form of inflatable furniture, which includes foam instead of air. In this embodiment, the flotation body is filled with foam, instead of air. In addition, multiple speaker units are located in the headrest, or armrest, or in a removable pillow, similar to the prior embodiments. Further, in this alternative embodiment, the power source may be either batteries or a solar panel or wireless. In addition, the batteries are rechargeable and the speaker units are connected to the batteries as a power source. Alternatively, the speaker units may be solar powered using a solar cell.

The present invention provides ergonomic inflatable furniture with an integrated and Blue Tooth speaker system, which is powered by removable and rechargeable batteries, including a lithium ion battery, which has up to 20 hours of power after a full charge. In addition, the Blue Tooth speaker is either a 4.0 or a 4.1 low energy BLE having a range of 70 to 80 feet. Further, the speakers are at least 3 watts to 10 watts with performance drivers to improve sound quality. Also, the cell phone has hands-free calling, and there is an external control pad having an on/off switch, and a control for pairing and for volume.

As shown in Figure 13, the speaker device 400 includes an ABS battery shaft 402, a battery pack 404 therein, and a rubber topper 406. The speaker device 400 also includes a speaker housing 410 having a sub-woofer 408, a speaker 412, an outer speaker grill 414, an inner speaker grill 416, and a connecting speaker wire 418. In addition, Figure 15 shows a perspective view, and Figure 14 shows a top view of the foregoing elements assembled having a speaker on each end of the speaker device 400.

Figure 16 shows a cross-sectional view with all of the elements assembled, including the main speaker device 400 having received therein the battery shaft 402 and the battery pack 404 with the rubber topper 406 placed thereon. Figure 16A shows the top view, and Figure 6B shows the side view of speaker device 400. In addition, Figure 17 shows the battery pack 404 having four batteries contained therein being each being 2,S00 milliamps. Also, Figure 18 shows a cross-sectional view of the speaker housing 410 having the speaker 412 mounted therein. Figure 18A shows the grill 416, and Figure 18B shows the side view of housing 410.

Figure 19 shows a perspective view of the assembly of speaker device 400 with the two speakers 410, 412 connected thereto by wires 418, and also shows a cell phone 420 that provides a Blue Tooth connection between the side speakers 410, 412 and the speaker device 400.

Figure 20 shows the wireless connection between speakers 410 and 412, so that no wires are used in this embodiment. The Bluetooth connects the speakers to the main unit that connects to the smart device. In addition, the wireless Bluetooth connection is provided from an external smart device to provide sound to the speakers 410 and 412. Further, the two speakers 410 and 2 shown in Figure 20 are hard wired to a PCB board and a battery, and receive sound via a Bluetooth signal from the external smart device.

Figure 21 is a different perspective view of the speaker device 400, shown in Figure 13, which includes the speaker housing 410 having the sub-woofer 408, the speaker 412, the outer speaker grill 414, and the inner speaker grill 416.
