Camp beds

Let’s be honest, getting a good night’s sleep is the key to keeping all your campers happy, and imperative to an overall successful holiday. If the little ones are up when the sun rises, then they can be very cranky by lunch, ruining your adventure away. Luckily, blackout bedrooms in tents have reduced that problem. Without a doubt, getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immersing yourself in nature reduces your tension and stress levels, which leads to improved sleep levels. However, even in the most expensive tent, a comfy night is not a given at all, so here at Leisureshopdirect we offer a wide range of camp beds and mattresses that will suit an array of needs, giving you the optimum chance of a relaxing, good nights sleep. Let’s try to find out which camping bed will make you cosy and snug in your home away from home.

Gone are the days when anyone needs to be uncomfortable camping. Can you remember those rolls of limp foam that opened out like over-sizes egg boxes? Those measly roll-mats that offered scant protection against the earth’s lumps and bumps? Well. Unless self-sacrifice is a personal mantra, or you are backpack camping in the most difficult terrain when you can’t carry much equipment, there are tonnes of options when it comes to camp beds that will promise a decent night’s kip whilst under canvas.
There is really no need to break the bank in achieving this good night’s sleep. At Leisureshopdirect we stock a wide variety of both single a double flock camping air beds, ideal for raising you a comfortable distance off the cold and lumpy ground. The Outwell Flock Classic Double Black is a very reasonable price and a very popular option. It is made using quality, hardwearing PVC and a soft velour surface upon which to sleep. The double seal valve provides easy inflation and deflation. This is a great bed where comfort and support are key to a restful night. If you have a bigger budget and want ultimate convenience then the Outwell Flock Superior Double Air bed With Built in Pump, is an excellent choice. The flock design allows campers to sleep well clear of the ground, actually 45cm high, offering outstanding insulation and makes getting in and out of a sleeping bag a breeze.

Of course, there are some even more luxury, high-end options for those that require double-thickness oversized camping air beds. It may seem like a bit of luxury, when planning and getting ready for your camping holidays away, but as the night draws in, being warm and comfortable in a cosy bed will suddenly be the most important thing you have ever owned! The best camping beds will literally be able to turn the coldest, dampest camp into a lovely cosy sleeping spot. Vango’s Shangri-La self-inflating mat collection features their unique core cutting construction to create a smaller pack size without compromising on the incredible comfort. The vertical walls of these mattresses provide a flat and level top and the super-soft stretch fabric provides a plush sleep surface. They are really easy to set up in about 30 seconds. These really are the ultimate in camping mattress technology.

Outwell has ranges of camp air beds, Outwell Dreamboats, Outwell Dreamhavens and Outwell Dreamcatchers, that vary in thickness and size. The Dreamboat range of single and double designs come in various thicknesses (12cm and 16cm) that feature the Outwell FHF (Flat High-Flow) valve with an enhanced air flow for both inflation and deflation. They have vertical side static fabric panels that do not bend under pressure, thus aiding easy inflation as less air needs to be pumped. They are supremely comfortable and offer campers an amazing night’s sleep. The Dreamhaven range also features the new Outwell FHF valve and deliver exceptional performance at a keen price point. The Dreamcatcher has an airflow control valve for easy inflation and deflation and are the most affordable mattress from Outwell in these ranges. They have a wave shaped foam core to ensure camper’s sleep comfort. The horizontal air channels reduce weight and pack size. You will be very snug and comfortable on your camping holiday with any of these Outwell air mattresses.

There really are plenty of air beds to choose from on the camping market, from the cheap inflatables to luxurious setups like we have just looked into. It is important to think about what needs you have before purchasing the perfect mattress. If you don’t fall asleep easily and suffer from any back pain or joint aches, then it’s worth really looking into the higher end air beds. However, if you sleep like a log and don’t need to be very comfortable to get a good night’s sleep, then you may want to invest your money in other camping equipment and get a more affordable mattress. You may be a light sleeper and find buying two single air beds, instead of a double for you and your partner, may enable you to have a less disturbed sleep. Children are generally much lighter than adults, so don’t need such supportive mattresses to be comfortable and can usually be very comfortable on the simple flock air beds. Have a careful browse through all the air beds we have here for you on Leisureshopdirect and you are sure to have many comfortable nights away in your canvas home away from home.
