What better way to enjoy the fleeting sunshine this spring than an inflatable sofa that seats two and packs small enough to fit in a shoe bag?
The lightweight inflatable sofa takes only seconds to fill – you simply swing it through the air – and its durable fabric means you can use it year after year. Whether you’re a enjoying a day out by bicycle, camping at a festival or lazing around at the park, it’s a quick and easy way to take the weight off your feet.
Win your own pop-up sofa
We have an inflatable sofa to give a away. Simply leave us a comment at the bottom of this page letting us know where you would use it and we will pick a winner next week.
Ethical travel insurance
The ETA was established in 1990 as an ethical provider of green, reliable travel services. Twenty six years on, we continue to sell excellent cycle insurance, travel insurance and breakdown cover while putting concern for the environment at the heart of all we do. It’s the reason we’ve been voted the most ethical insurance company in Britain by the Good Shopping Guide.
Where will you use your inflatable sofa?
Discovering the pleasures of local produce, simple regional cuisine and a slower pace of life is also an excuse to stay in an increasing range of alternative overnight stops – from converted lorries to tree houses.
This converted 1950s lorry no longer moves, but is an enchanting place to stay for the night
Canopy & Stars specialises in unusual alternatives to conventional camping such as treehouses, yurts and caravans.
While eco-aware travellers have the opportunity to offset the emissions from air travel, staying at home means the carbon footprint attributable to long-haul air travel is bypassed entirely. And with one return flight from London to California creating a warming effect equivalent to roughly one third of the annual carbon footprint of the average European, the environmental savings from a so-called staycation are significant.
Travel insurance for short stay holidays (including camping and glamping) in Britain is available here.

We will be cycling on the west coast of Scotland in the summer. It would be lovely to eat our sandwiches in comfort in wild places and then have a rest before continuing. We are almost 75 and the ground is getting harder to sit on.

Excellent but I have a nagging suspicion, based on having used an Ortlieb bag as a seat once or twice, that it will need to be reinflated fairly frequently.
