1. A couch structure, comprising:
- a. a bag member including side walls of greater dimension at their centrAl portions and lesser dimension at their end portions, and a botton wall, back wall, end walls and top wall of essentially uniform width;
b. mobile pellets contained in the bag member;
c. the bag member being dimensioned to receive a person thereon, and the mobile pellets being responsive to body pressure so as to permit the upper surface of the bag member to conform to a person supported thereon;
d. a head rest extension formed by an end wall and adjacent end portions of the side walls, back wall and top wall of the bag member and forming a compartment exposed to the interior of the bag member;
e. and a cushion block filling the compartment and presenting an end surface exposed to the mobile pellets whereby a varying direction of force exerted by the pellets against the end surface of the cushion block due to body movement on the bag member causes the head rest to tilt as a unit.

Abstract
A couch comprising a bag partially filled with spherical pellets of foamed plastic and a head rest in the form of a foamed plastic block having a side exposed to the pellets within the couch bag, the shape of the couch bag being changeable by body pressure of the user whereby the spherical pellets may be caused to exert a force on the head rest to move the head rest into an upright head supporting position or into a range of inclined positions; the head rest containing speakers for the transfer of sound to a person reclining against the head rest.

3. A couch structure, comprising:
- a. a bag member;
b. mobile pellets contained therein;
c. the bag member including a mobile seat cushion portion and a mobile back cushion portion merging with the seat cushion portion, the bag member increasing in thickness toward the juncture of the seat cushion portion and back cushion portion;
d. the pellets being responsive to body pressure of a person supported on the bag member to shift the back cushion portion between an essentially horizontal position and an essentially vertical position;
e. the mobile back cushion portion including an extension forming compartment open toward the mobile seat cushion portion;
f. a cushion block formed of foamed plastic laminations including an intermediate lamination having at least one speaker cavity therein, said cushion block being disposed in the compartment, the bottom side of the cushion block being subject to force exerted by the pellets to tilt the extension and cushion block therein as a unit in response to shifting of the direction and area in which force is applied to the mobile seat cushion portion;
g. and a speaker mounted in the cavity.
- a. a bag member;
