FE ActiveFolding Camping Bed for Adults - Lightweight, Compact, Portable Folding Camp Bed Single, Comfortable Camping Cot for Adults & Kids, Fits Single Air Mattress Pad | Designed in California, USA

Having used the FE Active Folding Camping Bed for adults for over three months now, I've gathered quite a few insights about its durability and overall comfort. First off, the bed's lightweight design is a significant advantage. It's incredibly easy to transport and set up. The fabric is tough yet breathable, making it suitable for various weather conditions. I've used it on both chilly nights and warm evenings, and it has adapted well. However, you will need a pillow with it to as is really uncomfortable without it

Light, comfy, and easy to assemble

I have now used this bed twice, once for a duration of three nights and the other for two, and I am very happy with it. The legs were a little difficult to attach to the frame at first, but if you follow the technique used in the video you shouldn't have a problem. Yes, they are stiff to snap to the frame, but if you turn the bed on its side, snap the leg to the lower frame first then use your bodyweight to press down from above and snap the top part in last it makes their insertion easy, and that stiffness is good as it is what gives the fabric the rigidity it needs. The poles are more than strong enough to cope with this so don't be too gentle. I am 5' 7" tall and weigh 87kg. At all times I found it plenty strong enough and stable for my needs, even when sitting on the edge in the morning. At no time did the bed move or tip. Comfort is fine though I did lay a wool blanket over the bed, as my shoulders are quite wide, so this gave me plenty of comfort from the edge of the frame. Packing down is quick and easy, and all fits back in the same bag without any issue if you take your time, roll the main poles up with the fabric, insert that first then pack a couple of the legs with the feet inserted down and then the others with them up. The small pack down size and weight are perfect for easy carriage. For the price this is a quality bed and I can thoroughly recommend.UPDATE August 2024Having used this bed each summer for approximately 2 weeks a year I have been very impressed with its comfort and durability, however on my last trip one of the black leg supports split, causing the pole that links the legs to pop out whenever I lie on the bed. I contacted FE Active via email 3 weeks ago to see if it is possible to purchase a replacement support but have yet to receive a reply, which is a shame. As a result I have reduced my rating from 5 to 4 stars as I only weigh 85kg and had hoped it would last more than a few years of fairly limited use.

Whilst I’ve only used this on a couple of occasions, it’s been very easy to put together and has proved incredibly comfortable and far better than an air mattress on the floor. It’s not super wide, but perfectly adequate for a normally size person (I’m 13.5 stone and 5’10” which i’m not saying is normal but it’s perfect bed for me).The combination of size and weight plus comfort is perfect for Motorbike riding. if I lost it, I definitely buy the same again. I was looking at the Hook version and I’ve no idea if that is better, but this is certainly perfect for my requirements.

***There IS a hole in the end to start putting the long pole in***it's looks like it is sewn across but there is a hole there next to the loop. If instead you start to put the pole in using the first leg cutout it will never have enough slack to get both ends in!Bed is nice and wide, which makes a big difference in comfort. Seems a decent quality product

Only used once, but impressed with it so far. Very lightweight and super simple to put together. Went to a festival and spent 2 nights using the bed. Very Sturdy and comfortable. I’d even purchased a thin inflatable mattress but quickly realised it was more comfy just on the bed alone.I’m not a small chap, nor that young these days, but found this bed ideal for festival campsite. So much better than previous inflatable beds that just never stayed up!

The comfiest of camping beds I have ever had. Not needing to re-inflate every day is a bonus.

Had this for a year or so. Used by my 12 YO on multiple camping trips. The bed functions very well in most respects. It’s light, folds down small, and fits into its supplied bag easily enough. It’s quite straightforward to put together (I’m really struggling to understand the negative comments in this respect), with assembly taking about 5 minutes (when new - see below). Although I don’t use it, I have tried it and it seemed both comfortable and study enough for my, shall we say, generous frame.My only criticism is that, with age, the short aluminium tubes used to join the side poles have started to slip inside the poles very easily and are a bit of a PITA to extract (small screw driver or tent peg sorts it). This, annoyingly, now lengthens an otherwise short setup time! Because, once the side tubes are joined, you can’t necessarily see how far the aluminium tubes have slid inside, there’s also a reasonable possibility of failure in use, as happened on a recent trip. While an attempt has been made to crimp the offending tubes into place, this really hasn’t survived regular use. OK, 10 minutes with a small drill and a rivet gun has solved this problem permanently, but TBH, it really could and should have been sorted at the design/manufacturing stage. If it wasn’t so good in other respects I’d have knocked this down to two stars.
