(I wondered if she cinched those trekking chair straps tighter/closer, so it was more of a "V" shape than an "L," and then maybe tucked her pack underneath, perhaps that would provide the padded knee-propping effect?)
Could something like this set-up (lightweight inflatable mattress & lightweight frame) get you part-way to a solution?
