this looks interesting has anyone tried one?

Looking at that I'm wondering if it would fit inside a sleeping bag al la cocoon style ?

Interesting. Takes longer to assemble than most tents. One thing to note, like a hammock, has no insulation underneath, so need a mat underneath you if temperature below, say, 60 deg F. Looks comfortable though. How much?

I've used that site several times but, as with the ebay one, they come from China so a risk of import charges.

It's been around for quite some time now. I liked the idea in principle, but, I don't want to spend half a shift putting it together and packing it away, I'd need a lie down after all that palaver .

Thanks very much for posting, very interesting price, looks like a copy of the MSR campcot. Better than any inflating mat for comfort id reccon.

That's very clever but blimey its a faff to put up and lots of parts, easy to lose something when dismantling.
Think I'd stick to a less compact campbed for a static camp and some form of kip mat (foam or inflating) it I needed something that would fit in a rucksack.

Well it does look easier to assemble than the Argos camp bed that I have and its only got four springy leg bars to wrestle & curse with!
At 1.2 kg the overall weight and packed dimensions of the BRS bed are also pretty respectable compared to self inflating mats & airbeds in the same price range for the amount of comfort it will/should provide.

Regatta 7cm thick self inflating mat is 2kg
Camping Gaz single air-bed 1.6kg (without pump)
and neither of them pack down as small as the BRS

... But it still needs a mat for insulation... so no weight saving.

Youd need a bigger bivvy though id reccon.

That's far from light or handy for camping. At best it can be used in car camping.
