VIDEO: PACBACK TRIO IS AN INFLATABLE MATTRESS DOUBLED AS A CHAIR

Finding a comfortable place to sit while out camping can be a struggle, and carrying a full-on camping chair while hiking is not exactly appealing. That is where the PacBack Trio comes in, it is a pretty clever solution to these problems, transforming from a light, portable air mattress into what looks like a comfy chair in seconds. 

The PacBack Trio is the first product from a couple of young designers who initially prototyped the concept while in college. The base of the PacBack is insulated, as any decent camping air mattress should be, and the material is measured to have a durability of 150 deniers, although you would not want to be sliding over sharp rocks with it. 

It is called a Trio due to its triad of uses, but really it is a combination of a mattress and a chair. The third "pillow" function is essentially a triangular pocket that you can stuff with clothes to make a pillow for the mattress (useful, but not all that revolutionary).

The PacBack Trio has launched on Kickstarter and it is off to a flying start, so this one will most likely get across the line. The company expects delivery in May 2018 if everything goes according to plan. In the meantime you can have a look at the review video below:
