Inflatable boat doubling as bed?

Hi,

This is my first post on the forum. I'm looking for a 2-person inflatable boat that could double as an inflatable bed. Does something like this exist?

Thanks,
Harwons

Found this... More about the tarp/poncho than the raft, but interesting..

I use a two-person boat as a bed for my visiting great-grandchildren (so they can stay in the room with their parents as wee ones are scared when away from home). The "bed" is about the size of a toddler bed (crib mattress) so you and your wife will not fit on this.

Even a four-person inflatable boat is only large enough for a child up to about age 10 or so. (My grandchildren have slept in mine when I ran out of beds, inflatable beds and pallets on the floor - normally have about 25 house guests on Christmas eve)

I would suggest getting a real air mattress for sleeping.

Tried it. Once. Was left without a boat or a sleeping pad thanks to a unnoticed sharp twig under my tent on the first night. Small vinyl boats do not have nearly the puncture resistance of a ground pad, I discovered.
