Yes, that gadget is called a thermarest chair. It uses the mattress.
That is what I take. It is pretty light.
The espresso maker is also very light. It is made for backpackers. I
dont remember the exact weight but it only makes one cup of espresso at
a time because it is very small.

I bought some sleeping bags; don't you have to use sleeping bags for it
to be camping? We'll take our fold-up-in-a-bag chairs.
A lot of what we'll do is use our campsite as a base for going around
and seeing other things in the areas where we'll be staying. We'll
come back at night and have a fire and roast some marshmallows (and
occasionally cook dinner; hot dogs or tin foil dinners or whatever) and
sleep, then get up the next morning, have breakfast, and go out
somewhere else.

Something I remembered the other day as I was purchasing some additional
gear: if you have a new air mattress, inflate it in a well-ventilated
area and leave it inflated for a couple of days before you go to camp.
That way the plastic can do a lot of its initial out-gassing without
stinking up your tent and giving you a plastic-fumes headache your first
night out.
