Single Camp Bed: Everything You Need to Know for a Comfortable Night's Sleep

When camping, getting a good night's sleep is essential to fully enjoy the great outdoors. A single camp bed can provide extra comfort and support compared to sleeping directly on the ground. While OLPRO does not currently sell camp beds, we offer a range of high-quality sleeping bags and insulated blankets that pair perfectly with any camp bed to enhance your sleeping experience.

In this guide, we’ll explore the dimensions of single camp beds, whether they’re worth the investment, and how to optimise your setup for the best night's sleep.

How Wide Is a Single Camp Bed?

A standard single camp bed typically ranges between 60cm to 75cm wide, providing enough space for an average adult to sleep comfortably. However, widths can vary based on the design, with some compact models offering widths as narrow as 50cm, while more luxurious options may go up to 90cm for added comfort.

When choosing a camp bed, it's important to consider your personal sleeping preferences and available tent space. Pairing it with a quality sleeping bag, such as the OLPRO Dark Moon Pattern Single Sleeping Bag, can make all the difference in ensuring a restful sleep.

Are Camping Beds Worth It?

Absolutely! Investing in a camp bed can significantly improve your camping experience by offering:

1. Comfort and Support: Elevating you off the ground prevents discomfort from uneven terrain, stones, or damp conditions.
2. Improved Insulation: Sleeping off the cold ground helps retain body heat better, especially when paired with an insulated blanket such as The Original Insulated Blanko.
3. Portability and Convenience: Most camp beds are foldable and easy to carry, making them a great addition to any camping trip.
4. Longevity: A quality camp bed can last for years, providing excellent value for money compared to inflatable mattresses.

To maximise comfort, consider using a premium sleeping bag like the OLPRO Gecko 350 Mummy Sleeping Bag for added warmth and support.

Do You Put a Mattress on a Camp Bed?

Yes, you can put a mattress or sleeping pad on a camp bed to enhance comfort further. Many campers opt for a self-inflating mat, foam pad, or an insulated sleeping bag to provide extra cushioning and warmth.

For those looking for ultimate comfort, combining a camp bed with the OLPRO Stafford Sleeping Bag (Grey) or the OLPRO Stafford Sleeping Bag (Black) offers a plush sleeping experience without the need for an additional mattress.

How Much Weight Can a Camp Bed Hold?

Most single camp beds are designed to hold between 100kg to 150kg, depending on the frame material and design. Heavy-duty models can accommodate even higher weights, making them suitable for all body types.

When selecting a camp bed, it's essential to check the manufacturer’s weight specifications to ensure it meets your needs. Pairing it with durable and warm sleeping bags such as the OLPRO Hush Pattern Single Sleeping Bag (300gsm Fill) ensures a cosy and restful sleep experience.

How Narrow Can a Single Bed Be?

A single camp bed can be as narrow as 50cm, which is ideal for space-saving but may not offer the best comfort for larger individuals. Standard widths usually fall between 60-75cm, striking a balance between comfort and practicality.

If space is limited in your tent, opting for a narrower camp bed combined with the Gecko 250 Mummy Sleeping Bag can still provide a comfortable and warm sleeping arrangement.

How to Stay Warm and Comfortable on a Camp Bed

To get the most out of your single camp bed, consider the following tips:

1. Choose the Right Sleeping Bag: A high-quality sleeping bag, like the OLPRO Hush Pattern Single Sleeping Bag (300gsm Fill), offers excellent insulation and comfort.
2. Layer Up with Blankets: The OLPRO Original Insulated Blanko Limited Edition Design is perfect for adding extra warmth on chilly nights.
3. Use a Sleeping Pad: Adding a foam or self-inflating pad between your camp bed and sleeping bag can enhance comfort and provide insulation from the cold air beneath.
4. Set Up in a Dry Spot: Ensure your camp bed is placed in a dry, level area inside the tent to avoid dampness and discomfort.
