This is what I did for several years when I was flying into Pennsic.
I bought an old tablecloth or heavy muslin type sheet from a thrift
store, folded it over lengthwise and sewed it shut on two sides to
create a period looking sack. It took up little storage space and I
didn't have to worry about an air mattress springing a leak in the
middle of the two week event.
When I got to Pennsic I bought one of the straw bales that they sell
for $5, which includes their picking up and disposing of the straw
afterward, broke it up and stuffed the sack with it.
I never had any problems with bugs or other critters, but that is
partly due to it being a *straw* bale. A hay bale might have more
problems.
