Camping with kids is an exciting way to create unforgettable memories, but ensuring they get a good night's sleep is key to keeping the adventure fun for everyone.

Read on to discover our guide on camp beds for kids. 

 

What is a Camp Bed?

A camp bed, also known as a cot, is a portable, lightweight bed designed for use during camping trips or outdoor activities. It typically features a sturdy frame made of materials like aluminium or steel, paired with a fabric surface made from durable materials such as polyester or nylon.

Camp beds are popular among campers who prioritize comfort and are especially useful for families with kids, as they provide a stable and familiar sleeping setup.

 

 

Types of Camp Bed

There are a few types of camp beds which are ideal for families with kids. See out list below for the items stocked at Attwoolls Outdoors. 

  • Folding Camp beds - These have an aluminium frame with a fabric sleeping surface. They are elevated off the ground, offering excellent comfort and insulation.
  • Inflatable Air Mattress - Made from durable PVC or similar materials, these beds are inflated to provide a soft, cushioned surface. Many come with built-in pumps for easy setup.
  • Air Sleeping Mats - Thin foam or self-inflating mats that provide basic padding and insulation from the ground.
  • Folding Camp Bunk beds - Same as a folding camp bed but with two layers so kids can sleep above eachother. Compact and space saving for larger families. 

 

Why choose a Camp Bed

Sleeping on a camp bed rather than directly on the floor offers several key advantages that enhance your camping experience. First and foremost, camp beds elevate you off the ground, protecting you from cold, damp surfaces and uneven terrain, which can lead to discomfort or interrupted sleep.

Additionally, they offer improved support compared to sleeping on a thin mat, which can be especially beneficial for those with back issues or who prefer a firmer surface. Easy to set up and often lightweight, camp beds combine practicality with comfort, making them an excellent choice for anyone seeking restful, rejuvenating sleep in the great outdoors.
