The bunk beds have a heavy-duty steel frame, so your conscious can rest knowing it won’t break while your kids sleep. Price

SUPERIOR CONSTRUCTION: The family tent is made of rip-resistant polyester for long-lasting performance and effective protection against harsh weather. Moreover, premium rust-resistant reinforced tent poles provide strong structural support for safety and stability in use. Size is an essential factor to consider when choosing a camp bed. You should especially consider the height and weight of the base and mattress together. Different individuals have varying heights, so make sure there is enough length in the frame and mattress to take your full expanse. Coleman are one of our favourite outdoor gear manufacturers and the Coleman Airbed Cot is a great example of exemplary design. It’s a double camp bed using what we would call a hybrid folding/inflatable design – basically the base can fold away small and the mattress is fully inflatable. In our minds this gives the best combination of portability and comfort if there are two of you to cater for and you don’t mind snuggling up together! Coleman also offer a single bed option at about half the price using a similar layout.

The cot is so low to the ground that moving on and off can be annoying. Alongside this, the head section of the cot droops. You find your head hanging off the end if you’re slightly above average height. Size

Raised sleeping surface for easy entry and exit, which also reduces joint strain when getting out of bed. For camp beds, you want to look at the fabric material as well as the frame material. The best camp beds are constructed from materials such as nylon, polyester, or polycotton. Each material has its benefits outdoors.

Uploading

Double Tent Cot: A double offers room for sleeping two people. This size can load up to 500 pounds with a bit more internal space. In a double, the width extends leaving room for a partner to sleep comfortable inside. As you start to pump, you need to slot in eight rigid cross-members (ooh err!) which then act as slats for you to put on a separate self inflating mattress or similar. The pumped up base then has a forgiving external rectangular structure which offers decent suspension if you have to move in the night. The cot frame is made of metal, so it will last a while. However, the grommet sliders and foot bumpers are plastic, so they are not as durable. If you like a little luxury when you camp, then the Coleman Camping Cot is what you need. The airbed included with this cot has an Airtight® System, which guarantees it will remain inflated all night. The bottom line is that investing in the best camp bed allows you to sleep comfortably and healthily while not breaking the bank. Yet, the beds offer portability and compactness, so you don’t have to haul a massive load during your camping and other outdoor trips.
