Much as I like the build quality of my Outwell Laguna XL camp bed, it was not the easiest to put up when it was new as the fabric was very taut and required a lot of effort in order to secure the bars at the end.
However, it got easier with each use.
If I were to get another camp bed, I would opt for the Outwell Posadas or the Kampa Dream, both with similar set up mechanism, in the biggest size.
For SIM, I believe Therm-a-rest is the best that money can buy. However, they are expensive, and there are alternatives that cost less and rated as good value for money by many.
Such as the offerings from Alpkit like their Wideboy, Vango has also been mentioned time and time again.
If the SIM is to be put on top of the camp bed, then one should be able to get away with a cheaper alternative.
However, if one is to sleep directly on the ground on top a SIM, then get the thickest one you can afford.
All IMHO, of course.
Good luck, whatever you decide to get.

I have looked at the fishing beds but are bulky and phew you must be rich to go fishing! I have just found the quencha camp bed that looks good has anyone else seen this one/used it?
