Product Information

We've got the car space for them but if we didn't, I'd be getting rid of everything else before getting rid of the beds! For anyone who’s not a fan of the great outdoors, this camping bed should make you feel more at home. The cot can also be used with just three of the four legs to cut down its weight, making it perfect for those long backpacking expeditions. These attach on each side of the bed and act as night-time tables to put a lamp, a drink or your book on.

The two pairs of legs simply rotate out from underneath – each leg has “mud feet” on the end which means you can put the bed directly on the ground without fear of sinking.The bottom line is that investing in the best camp bed allows you to sleep comfortably and healthily while not breaking the bank.

We think that a good nights sleep on any kind of trip is crucial, and anyone with camping experience will vouch that a bad nights sleep greatly affects the ability to enjoy your trip!It's really well-made and comfy to sleep on, and absolutely enormous; similar in size to a proper single mattress, it's one of the closest things you can get to sleep on your own bed when you're off on your travels. Which means - unless you're a couple of stick insects - you've got to stay on your own side at all times if you fasten them together to make a double. It has a simple double valve for inflating, deflation, it's best using a pump if possible , I find the small portable rechargeable pumps to work really well and has it inflated in a couple of minutes. In that case, a basic, self-assembly camp bed, which is often cheaper than a camp bed with a fold-up mechanism, will fit the bill nicely. It's bulky, of course, so if space or weight is at a premium check out the less extravagant options in our best camping mat guide.

Keeping off the floor also helps with regard to heat retention in cold weather – there’s less routes for heat to escape from your body into the ground. Ideal for family camping trips and holiday or as an emergency spare bed for family or friends staying over. Rather unusually it uses a steel frame (we’re used to aluminium), but this offers great strength and rigidity – this bed would survive a nuclear explosion!Inflatable camping beds can turn the remotest and coldest camp into a cosy sleeping spot, and you can always drag it out of your tent during the day to use it as a makeshift sun lounger. We’d definitely recommend having an inflatable mattress supported off the ground on a base, otherwise heat can wick out very quickly in the night. ADDITIONAL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION: Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths.

If comfort is a higher priority for you then packed size then the West Lake Galician Camp Bed is a perfect choice and a great value option. Comfort-wise, the Decathlon Inflatable Camp Bed Base is really kicking the camping bed comfort rating up several gears. Below we examine these two different systems to help you choose the model that will best suit your needs.

Hunker down and snuggle up with our pick of the warmest, fluffiest and cosiest heated throw blankets. There is also a perforated hanging belt at the side, which can hang flashlights, knives and other items within reach. That said, if you want to avoid waking up in the middle of the night, having crashed to the ground (it's not much of a drop, admittedly, but it's still a shock nonetheless), always read the spec sheets carefully before purchasing. The key caveat here is to pick a mattress that’s 70cm wide, or deal with a slight but annoying overlap, and also manage a certain amount of slippage between the mattress and the base.
