Yay, I have an air mattress. It works. I can now get rid of my old folding-up-chair foam thing. Does anyone want it before I bin it (it's a somewhat decrepit version of this but might be useful if you want big chunks of foam rubber for something)?
Oh, I love those, but getting it to Inverness would be a pain. If you reach the point where no-one else wants it and you're actively about to bin it you can give it to me :-)
Looks to me like it would easily fit unfolded in a Mondeo (ISTR that's what you have?) if you dropped the rear seats. Failing that, would it fit in one passenger seat upside-down?
Certainly, that's how I've moved office wheelychairs in my saloon where the rear seats don't fold.
Oh yes, moving it in the Mondeo would be very easy. Moving it in pretty much any car, even a smart car, would be pretty easy, they're very squidgy. However, driving to Inverness takes a day, flying to Inverness takes half a day, and catching the sleeper train to Inverness takes arguably no useful time at all.
Astonishingly, you could take that chair as hold baggage on easyJet (the first airline I tried). Hold baggage allowance is two bags weighing a total of 20kg and each with total dimensions under 275cm. Apparently, one of those chairs is 59×74×38cm, so 171cm total dimensions. Googling elsewhere suggests the boxed weight is 5kg, which leaves at least 15kg for your other bag.
On trains, the limit seems to be three items, each no more than a metre in any dimension, which is also OK.
I wonder what happens if you stick one of those seats in a suck-all-the-air-out-of-your-clothes-for-more-compact-storage bags? Do you end up with a tiny dense lump of chair?
In any case, I assume you need to get the Mondeo to Inverness sooner or later…
