polish bed roll

[kevin1]

Hi has any one used a polish bed roll and know where to get them from please.

Do you mean this,
Czech army bedroll. Or this.
If you mean the Polish army sleep mat, I love mine, but only for car camping, it's very bulky and heavy. Good luck with finding one they are as rare as hens teeth.

Hi, I haven't seen these for sale for five years - military mart was the only seller I knew of. I'd call them and keep an eye on eBay.
That said, with 10cm self inflating foam mats, I'm not sure a polish one is worth searching hard for - mine kept needing to be 'fluffed' up all the time to be comfy and not lumpy and I binned it in favour of a gelert tranquility 10cm pad (£40) which is amazing.
If you want something similar (a more normal mattress) I think a swag bedroll mattress (google) would work, or a search eBay for a 'folding foam mattress' - lots of people swear by these for car camping - and for £28, it's only a few quid more than a polish one would have been 😀

I too had been looking hard for these, and have contacted Military Mart several times but no joy. Nor Varusteleka in Finland.

Currently for a small tent, I use a "self inflator" from "ThisIsIt" stores called a Trail, and £10. Superb. But I fancied couple of the Polish thingies for use in a bell tent?

The only similar alternatives I have found seem around £100 !!!

RTI Military Surplus (http://rti-militarysurplus.com) in Lutterorth have a couple of the padded kip mats in stock at the moment. They're rolled up so I cannot state their condition.

The website is trade only, but their bricks and mortar shop is open to the public from Thursday through to Sunday.

Usual disclaimers, no connection other than being a satisfied and repeat customer.

I may have one of the mats in the loft which I got from Military Mart a few years ago, I'll have a look for it tomorrow. They are bulky and by no means light in weight. I used mine for canoe camping where I wasn't going to be carrying it very far. There are much lighter options out there.

Hard to find but you can try to find them on e-bay or Allegro.

There are some of them:

But be careful - there a chinese copies of the product.

For example that one is an original rollbed from polish army:

Bumping an old thread but I'm interested in these Polish Army Sleeping Mats. Does anybody have any experience of them. I want a mattress for a semi-permament camp but it needs to be sufficiently sturdy to keep me off the ground
