Well, Im glad yours worked out. Just shows, more expensive doesnt mean better quality.

The grade1 mk3 US made Brit ones are here:

Mine was £24 ebay inc P+P

When i am cycling far and weight and size of my pack matters more i use one of these as it is just over 2.5kilo and 60x10x2.5cm when in it's bag, only real issue is it must be on level ground, again £19.99 inc P+P

I've had a couple of Houndfield Safari beds since the 60's, Bigsa size. Replaced the canvas with cordura a couple of years ago. Very comfortable,the legs act as springs, but too heavy for backpacking, more a basecamp item.

Thanks for the great info. Ex mod bed was delivered a few days ago and built today. Boy are they robust. Glad weight isnt an issue as it will be used the lavvu.
Thanks again
