I know there have been a few camping bed questions but I can't find the answer to what I want.
I'm looking for a folding camp bed that has rounded legs like a sun-lounger https://www.cheaper-online.co.uk/products/reclining-oxford-sun-lounger?variant=125........but sun-loungers don't lay flat. Most camp beds have pointy feet https://www.millets.co.uk/15983967/hi-gear-slumber-campbed-15983967/?utm_source=Go.........
I'm looking for the rounded legs because the floor of the side tents on our trailer tent are weak and I don't want to put holes in them with pointy feet.
Any ideas.
Plus, sorry if the pictures don't load, not done this before.

get 3 bits of wood slightly wider than the spread of the legs of your camp bed, and cut a slot for the feet to sit in, that way it spreads the load, you get the lie flat bed you want and no damage done to the floor of your tent

the sun loungers (in the first link) do lay flat, you have to fold the top part- (where your head would be) all the way forward , then fold it backwards until it clicks, then forwards just a little- then back again until it clicks, eventually they will lay flat, unfortunately when you sit on them , the head piece comes up again , so you have to hold the head part down until you get on and lay flat, yeh, not ideal but they do work
