I have two styles of camp bed, and I find both OK. The army camp bed with four sets of sprung legs holding the two sides apart, is a bit un-supportive, but still OK, the other has the fold out cross over legs. The advatages are that it's higher from the ground, and easier to get out of, also there is a lot of useable space under it to store gear. The only down side, as already mentioned, is that because of the extra height, it wont fit in smaller or sloping sided tents. I tend to use the lower spring leg version most of the time, as it's wider, so gives a bit more room to sprawl. I have used a partially inflated air bed under it, to give some extra support, and always have a self inflating mat on top of either version, to stop the cold coming through. I did shorten the side poles on the spring leg version, because they stick out way past the ends of the bed, and tended to poke into the tent fabric. I also fitted rubber caps over the bare ends. ( I love to play with and modify things )

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

), need a campbed rated more than 20st+ (actually a bit more, but lets start with that).
