We have two and both are the same: The fabric needs to be pulled soooo tightly to fit in the end supports. A fold-out camping bed is designed to keep you off the ground during sleep, meaning that you’re kept away from cold or damp ground. Ideal for camping in the great outdoors or for the impromptu back garden camping, it can also be a great spare bed for visitors. The Zempire folds down to a packable size of 99 x 15 x 16 cm and comes with a carry case for easy storage and transport. For the sleeping surface, the camp bed features a 100% CamoVision 600D polyester shell for long-lasting durability.

Overall, we think the West Lake Galician is a great bed for camping if you’ve got a large car or trailer to transport your camping gear.After all, no one wants to go to the festival's main stage or head off on an hours-long hike with a sleep-deprived grump. You use burn energy when you’re exposed to the elements all day (rain or shine) so getting as much sleep as you can manage is critical - not just for you, but also for your fellow campers too.

It’s recommended to use the official Quechua double action pump to get this up to 6psi, but most other pumps should suffice.However, if you are walking and supporting your load in a backpack, you don’t want a camp bed that weighs more than 3 kgs.

Inflatable mattresses are a popular choice, but you really do get what you pay for – a poorly made one will leak air over the course of your trip, leaving you wobbling on top of it like blancmange in the early hours of the morning.

Fold-out beds are ideal for people who struggle to get up and down from a mattress or sleeping pad placed directly on the ground.It’s a pretty grueling existence when you’re feeling irritable and tired after a bad night and you may have a long walk to complete or activities to participate in. In addition, the legs and frame feature a foldable design to allow the bed to be packed away with ease. You may need to give it some welly on the last slot but it’s not overly difficult (I just sat on ground and tugged it hard).
