The Blow Couch is a super simple concept that utilizes old dunnage bags (inflatable bags used for shipping) and supports them with a metal rack and some rubber straps. It probably doesn’t have a high weight limit, but it would be really easy to transport. It’s the kind of thing I can picture taking on a camping trip but, alas, it is only in the prototype phase at the moment.
