Most comfortable camp bed?

Recommendations please? I love camping but am at the stage of life where I absolutely need a good nights sleep. It’s for an awning and would be a double but with just one person sleeping on it. What I really want is something as much like a normal bed as possible!

The Berghaus SIM (topped up with a fan) is ace!

A fan?

Sim = self inflating mattress... Add more air (with fan/air pump) = comfy bed.

We use exped megamat 10, had to sleep on them for 6 weeks once and were very glad we’d invested in them.

Expensive, though (although I’m sure we paid nothing like current prices, ours are probably 6-7 years old) especially in double size!

I got one of these earlier this summer. It's a canvas camp bed on legs. A lot of people put a thin air bed on top but as it was fairly warm I just put a blanket on it before the sleeping bag. It creaked a bit at first but felt just as comfy as the thick SIM I was using before.
And I notice it's now £15 cheaper than when I bought it.😡😆

Thanks @UpThereForThinkingDownThereForDancing for explaining my semi nonsensical post!!

People rave about the Decathlon inflatable camp bed with a SIM on top.

That’s what we’ve got. Even my large husband, with a terrible bad back, loves it.

I've been using a decathlon camp bed with a sim on top and it's fine but I miss sitting up reading at night because I need support behind my back, would the fishing chair/bed be suitable for this? Sort of the camping equivalent of a bed with a headboard I suppose.

LaBelleSauvage123 · 16/08/2024 15:55

@MrsDrDear how wide is the Westlake fishing chair? Wide enough for a large man?

Hi @Mudflaps
We have never used them in a sitting position but I'm sure they would be ok as fishermen use them for hours sitting up.

My DH is 6ft and is bulky and the bed is fine for him. It's really big. I share mine with the dog no problem.
