Learn the best way to pack your HEST Foamy Camp Chair for travel. Follow these steps to fold, store, and transport your chair without damage or bulk.
Quick answer
To pack your Foamy Camp Chair for travel, collapse the aluminum frame, remove the memory foam cushion, and store both in the included carry bag. This keeps the chair compact, protected, and ready for your next campsite.
Why proper packing matters
The Foamy Camp Chair combines an Adirondack-inspired frame with a thick memory foam cushion. If you toss it in the trunk without care, the cushion can shift or get dirty, and the frame may scratch. A deliberate packing routine extends the chair's life and saves space.
Unlike a standard folding chair, this model has a removable cushion. That gives you flexibility: you can pack the cushion separately or use the carry bag for both. Knowing the sequence prevents frustrating re-packing at the trailhead.
How to pack your Foamy Camp Chair in 5 steps
- 1. Collapse the frame: Stand behind the chair and lift the armrests upward. The frame will fold inward. Push the legs together until the frame lies flat. Common mistake: forcing the frame when it's stuck—check that no fabric is caught in the hinges. Always fold on a clean, level surface to avoid bending the aluminum.
- 2. Remove the cushion: Unzip the cushion from the frame if it's attached (some models use straps or a sleeve). Slide it out gently. Checkpoint: the cushion is the heaviest part—handle it with both hands to avoid tearing the cover. Store the cushion in a dry bag if rain is expected during travel.
- 3. Fold the cushion: Lay the cushion flat and fold it in half lengthwise, then roll it from the bottom to the top. This reduces bulk and prevents creases. Common mistake: folding it too tightly, which can damage the memory foam over time. Rolling rather than folding keeps the foam's structure intact.
- 4. Pack the frame: Slide the collapsed frame into the carry bag first. Position it so the legs point toward the bottom of the bag. Checkpoint: the bag should zip closed without force—if it's tight, re-arrange the frame. Leave the carry bag's drawstring loose until the frame is fully inside.
- 5. Add the cushion and close: Place the rolled cushion on top of the frame inside the bag. Push it down gently and zip the bag closed. Common mistake: overstuffing the bag—if the cushion doesn't fit, pack it separately in a duffel. The carry bag is designed to hold both parts, but a separate bag for the cushion can free up space for other gear.
