We have two single camp beds, butted side by side. By the time our 2 x single (10cm) SIMs are in place, and an elasticated fitted sheet lobbed on to hold it all in place (Cotton for August... Fleece for the other 11 months!!), we feel a very slight dip where the 2 x SIMs meet (certainly not a problem), but don't feel any bed frame bars etc. (We zip our single sleeping bags up as a double).
The reason I mention this is that these beds are not exactly lightweight (at least, the one's we got from G.O. aren't!). I'd certainly advise, should there be the slightest doubt, a trip to a local purveyor prior to committing to any purchase, if only to pick up and carry one a few yards, as a trial.
I hasten to add:
1/ Whilst I do occasionally carry 2 singles (one in each hand), I have never picked up, nor carried, a double camp bed.
2/ I fully appreciate many on here own, use, and are happy with double camp beds.
3/ I don't have arthritis.
Disclaimer:
I apologise for the above... It's just that, wrongly or wrongly, I've always associated arthritis with frail old ladies, and keep picturing Old Mrs Brady struggling her t**s off trying to carry, and set up, a double camp bed!
Yes, I know that's remiss of me, and yes, I know I have to mend my ways... If they were still alive, I'd blame my parents... in fact, I'm gonna blame them anyway!
