Turkey seat with memory foam

Abstract

A cushion of a portable seat is formed from multiple layers including at least one memory foam layer. In one implementation, the portable seat is constructed as a turkey seat incorporated into hunting vest design. The seat cushion ( 100 ) includes an uppermost layer ( 102 ) positioned proximate to the user, a lowermost layer ( 106 ) that will be disposed proximate to the ground, a stadium bench or the like and an intermediate layer ( 104 ). The uppermost layer ( 102 ) may be formed from a memory foam material, the intermediate layer ( 104 ) may be formed from an open cell foam material and the lower most layer ( 106 ) may be formed from closed cell foam. This construction allows for desired memory foam conformance while providing significant cushioning for substantially any user under substantially any condition and yields a product of suitable weight for portable applications.

1 . A portable seat, comprising:
 a cushion; and   a structure for facilitating carrying of the cushion by a user;   wherein said cushion is formed from a memory foam material.   
   
   
       2 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said cushion includes a first layer of said memory foam material and a second layer of cushioning material. 
   
   
       3 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein said second layer comprises a non-memory foam material. 
   
   
       4 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein said cushion comprises a first layer of said memory foam material, a second layer of first non-memory foam material and a third layer of second non-memory foam material different than said first non-memory foam material. 
   
   
       5 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 4 , wherein said first non-memory foam material is an open cell foam material and said second non-memory foam material as a closed cell foam material. 
   
   
       6 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 4 , wherein said second layer is interposed between said first layer and said third layer. 
   
   
       7 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 6 , wherein said memory foam material is disposed in an external user contact portion of said cushion. 
   
   
       8 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said structure comprises a garment assembly and an attachment assembly for attaching said cushion to said garment assembly. 
   
   
       9 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 8 , wherein said attachment assembly allows for movement of said cushion between a stowed position and a deployed position. 
   
   
       10 . A portable seat, comprising:
 a cushion;   a backrest; and   a structure for allowing relative movement of the seat in relation to the backrest between a stowed position, wherein the seat is positioned against a backrest, and a deployed position, wherein the seat extends at a seating angle relative to the backrest.   
   
   
       11 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein said cushion is formed from a memory foam material. 
   
   
       12 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein said cushion includes a first layer of said memory foam material and a second layer of cushioning material. 
   
   
       13 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 12 , wherein said second layer comprises a non-memory foam material. 
   
   
       14 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 12 , wherein said cushion comprises a first layer of said memory foam material, a second layer of first non-memory foam material and a third layer of second non-memory foam material different than said first non-memory foam material. 
   
   
       15 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 14 , wherein said first non-memory foam material is an open cell foam material and said second non-memory foam material as a closed cell foam material. 
   
   
       16 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 14 , wherein said second layer is interposed between said first layer and said third layer. 
   
   
       17 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 10 , wherein said backrest is integrated into a garment assembly. 
   
   
       18 . A portable seat, comprising:
 a vest including shoulder straps for extending over the shoulders of a user;   a seat cushion including memory foam; and   a structure for movably interconnecting the seat to the vest such that the seat is movable between a stowed position, wherein the seat is disposed against a back portion of the vest, and a deployed position, wherein the seat extends at a seating angle relative to a said back portion of the vest.   
   
   
       19 . A portable seat as set forth in  claim 18 , wherein said cushion includes a first layer of said memory foam material and a second layer of cushioning material. 
   
   
       20 . A method for using a portable seat, comprising the steps of:
 providing a portable seat including a cushion having a first layer formed from a memory foam material and a second layer of non-memory foam cushioning material;   disposing said portable seat so that said second layer is adjacent to a seating surface; and   sitting on said first layer.   
   
   
       21 . The method as set forth in  claim 20 , wherein said portable seat is connected to a garment assembly and said step of disposing comprises moving said portable seat in relation to said garment assembly from a stowed position to a deployed position.
