Space for Additional Bedding
The backpack section is intentionally larger and expandable, allowing additional bedding to be stored inside to help keep it dry and clean.
In many areas, people experiencing homelessness may access blankets, but these can be difficult to carry and keep dry. Wet bedding does not provide effective protection from cold conditions. The Backpack Bed is designed to offer portable, weather-resistant protection in emergency situations.
