Product Information

To help you decide what tent is best for you, we considered five categories: weather resistance, comfort, ease of setup, extra features, and value. Each of these bears more importance to certain campers than others. Consider when, where, and who you plan to use your tent with. Hopefully, you’ve decided by now that a tent cot is worth buying and this short should help you choose the one that fits your needs. For pitching speed, I would score this with a 9 out of 10. The reason behind this is simple: it’s a foldable double tent cot – that means it’s a no-brainer to set it up. Plus, there is explicit instruction on how to do it properly.

If you’ve ever used an inflatable stand up paddle board or inflatable tent, you’ll immediately understand how to get the Decathlon bed base pumped up. You literally unroll it from its carry bag, connect a compatible pump and start doing your business! It’s recommended to use the official Quechua double action pump to get this up to 6psi, but most other pumps should suffice. 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. Our team of camp-savvy testers had no trouble erecting the Base Camp 6 in light winds thanks to the intuitive color-coded poles and attachment points. For the uninitiated, very clear setup instructions are sewn into the tent’s storage bag. Additionally, it has an easy and convenient setup. The pillow and the air mattress are swift to set up, considering the included foot air pump. It will only take up to a few minutes to set up properly. Besides, the tent cot is simple to assemble and collapse without taking much of your time, according to the manual it comes with. When the extensions are removed, the cot is very low, only 6.7 inches (17 cm) from the ground. This means it will fit in any tent, no matter how low it can be. Legs without extensions.

Depending on the outing and your style, camping can range from minimalism to a bring-everything-including- the-kitchen-sink adventure. In addition to a tent, you’ll need a sleeping pad and sleeping bag. That has your sleeping arrangements mostly covered, although you could certainly opt for a camping pillow or camp cot. If you aren’t on a restricted budget, the Dam CamoVision Bed Chair is worth the investment. It’s another fishing bed which can also function as a chair or lounger, however we think it’s great for camping if you’ve got the room to transport it. It folds to a transport size of 85 x 80 x 22cm which is pretty big, but still manageable if you have a large estate car or camping trailer. The design of the bed uses three pairs of adjustable legs with large area mud feet designed to prevent sinking into the ground. But the good news is that you don’t need anything else. No rain flies, no footprints, guy lines, and all other parts that you’ll need with a classic tent. Frequently asked questions Compounded by the tent’s boxy profile (which provides a large broadside to the wind), the Skyward may have a tendency to head, well, skyward in a bad blow. The tent does include a whole mess of stakes and guylines to better tether it to the earth, and in practice, we felt very confident in it during nice weather. But if the weather report looks a little grim? You’re far better off grabbing a more hardened shelter, like the Marmot Limestone or the MSR Habitude.

The best option is to always opt for a bed that offers a little more space. For example, if you measure about 6 feet tall (182cm), opt for a bed that measures at least 185 cm to 190 cm long. The width depends on the type of sleeper you are. Some people don’t mind narrow beds, while others want some room to move around, or to sleep diagonally. The strong round aluminium frame of the CamoVision gives it a lightweight profile, while the microfleece mattress offers a very plush feel. For the sleeping surface, the camp bed features a 100% CamoVision 600D polyester shell for long-lasting durability. There is also a comfortable neoprene pillow integrated into the bed – nice.

Uploading

This tent uses the tried and true two-pole design, with an additional pole to support a small awning. Our tester easily set this tent up (without instructions) in under 10 minutes. It’s not as tall or roomy as some car camping tents, but the sacrifice of space is worth it for excellent weather protection. You can fit four people or spread out and sleep comfortably with just two in 60 square feet of floor space. Unless you’re ready to spend thousands on an expedition tent, almost every camping tent has its issues with the way it handles strong winds and bad weather. This compact portable tent cot has an air mattress that fits ideally inside it, a sleeping bag, and a pillow for extra comfort. When it comes to seasons, this is a tent cot perfect for the summer only. It is not entirely waterproof, and it has no feature that prevents bugs and small insects from accessing the interior. It has no mesh that would leave the interior fully closed.

Those looking for a similar design but at a lower price should also consider the Wonderland 4 and Wonderland 6 , which work on the same principles but use lighter, less expensive materials.We struggled with the rainfly the first go around, as it has an unusual shape that goes to the ground at the vestibule and then up to window height along the body of the tent. Once we figured out which way was up, snapping it into place was an (adjustable) breeze.
