Backpack Bed swag

100% Fact. The Backpack Bed™ (swag) is the strongest, most waterproof, breathable, fire retardant, mosquito mesh ventilated, zippered outdoor bed which also converts into an outdoor shelter and Backpack in the WORLD.
PLUS a thick built-in 6ft 2inch (190cm) insulating and comfy mattress which is also non water absorbing + fire retardant.

100% Fact. By NOT USING canvas our high tech UltTrex Lite fabric is more waterproof than canvas. Better protection! HEY! it is FIRE RETARDANT.

BEWARE - SAFETY NOTICE. As announced in the media - an Australian (Queensland based) charity offers a non fire retardant canvas swag without even a basic zip, no mosquito protection mesh, and a foam mattress (116cm long) that absorbs water - and when alight explodes into flames - would you sleep on that? Homeless should be treated with dignity? Most horribly, they also want $60 each (price subsidised only after donations) - how can it be justified on value or function? As unpaid volunteers who continually listen to negative reports from both the homeless who have slept in ... and charity workers who have handed out this potentially lethal model described - we are tired of seeing homeless being given undignified solutions. If you were homeless and turned away from a shelter - what outdoor bed would you want?

Imagine your gift helping someone sleep better EVERY NIGHT!

Swags are an Australian icon. Let's help Australia's most needy!
