Folding camp bed recommendations

I like that. Deep In a snowy forest, with a fire and a reflector in front of it.

I've been looking at folding camp beds to use in the lavvu for car camping trips over winter, any recommendations?

I called in at Go Outdoors today to see what they had, all Hi Gear brand, the first one looked like a death trap and nightmare to put up, this was confirmed by the chap who works there too, the second one looked more like what I had in mind.

I need two of them so trying not to spend too much

Any decent army versions about, I'm looking for something that packs well and not too low.

I have one of the first type and have also just bought one of the second for £25 delivered on ebay:

The first type needs to be pitched either inside a tent with a groundsheet or resting on something. The legs are quite thin and sink into wet/soft ground such that the canvas gets wet!

I haven't assembled my ebay one yet but it comes with a carry bag and will be used in anger on an overnight bivvi in a couple of weeks. No connection to the seller etc etc etc.

I got the US military one (from Military Mart I think).

Bulletproof and comfy. Used mine with one of the Polish Army mats on top of it - sheer luxury!

Thanks for all the suggestions folks, I'm going to wait until I get the lavvu setup and take some measurements to see if they'll fit okay along with the stove.

you cant beat the fishing type beds ,back folds up to make a lounger feet adjustable for uneven ground and there usually padded so giving protection from ground cold.
mines from go outdoors and ive found them far superior to camp type beds.
