Portable Bunk Beds

Portable bunk beds serve a multitude of purposes for a multitude of needs. From planning happy memories like a long camping trip or a sleepover, to enduring the shell-shocked moments in history that requires military or emergency aid, temporary bed space means a variety of things to different people, but they all agree in the end – you can’t live without them.

Here we sell a reputable line of temporary bunk beds to fit all of those needs.

• The classic Disc O Bed is great for adults and comes in standard and extended sizes.
• The Kid O Bunk is scaled down for the smaller people who need a place to sleep too.
• And the Cam O Bunk naturally fades into the background when being unseen is of importance.

Don’t forget the extra storage accessories!

New designs and construction have changed a lot since the first notion of how uncomfortable these kinds of temporary sleeping spaces can be, which is now but a distant memory. Camping bunk beds have improved tremendously in quality and comfort, and if you're thinking about switching to portable bunks or investing in a disc o bed for the first time, you've come to the right place - we've got a great selection to choose from, but before you click on the add to cart button, make sure you read what we have to say on the topic!

Buying a double camp bed is perhaps not on the essential list of things to buy when you first start camping, but many seasoned campers are well aware of what's good, what's better and what's best if you want to have a good night's sleep when you're outdoors and you're truly enjoying yourself being away.

A nice self-inflating sleeping mat can be comfortable and effectively convenient, but despite it being a good option for many, others prefer the idea of being somewhat elevated off the bare ground. Not just to save their tired backs, but it’s also comforting to know you’re elevated a bit above the creepy crawlies in the wild outdoors. Basically, it depends on where (and how) you like to spend your camping nights, and what you can take with you on the trip.

So, let's look at some of the main benefits and advantages of folding bunk beds:

• They're off the ground, so when you're out camping you won't feel any rocks, twigs and any uncomfortable hard and uneven surface underneath your resting body. Also, you're not as likely to be preyed upon from insects and other nasty small creatures while asleep (gah!!).
• It's easier to get in and out of a camping cot than an inflatable mat or any other on-the-ground portable bed. Imagine (or remember) the nuisance of having to lift yourself off from a low and close to the ground, soft and unstable air mattress and you'll see what we mean (at least some age groups will get the point and appreciate this fact).
• In warmer places, during the hot seasons of the year, bunk cots are cooler because more air circulates freely beneath and between them. It's the effectiveness of simple physics of fluid motion that makes all the difference in this case.
• They come in a good many sizes, building materials and - most importantly - they save up lots of space. Their vertical design allows you to fit more bodies in a space and you'll be able to utilize the space that you're left with more efficiently. Which brings up the next point:
• You can make a good use of the space underneath the folding cot for extra storage.

Now, before we lay out some of the more important things you need to consider, before choosing the right sleeping cots for your needs, we'll go through some of the negatives:

• In cooler weather, bunk cots are not as warm as inflating mats can be, as the cold air will circulate underneath. So unless you have an additional sleeping pad or your sleeping quarters are super insulated, you might not be able to minimize the cold that well.
• If you’re hiking long distances, a packed bunk stretcher can be quite bulky depending on the model, which takes up room and the weight can be an issue as well.
• Also depending on the model, these otherwise great pieces of camping equipment can contain a great number of parts and may consume some time to set up (but luckily not the disc o beds on this page).
• Some models, especially the ones on the lower end (not featured on this page of course), can rock around and can feel shaky and unstable when you move around on them. They can also be somewhat uncomfortable or too hard, depending on the user’s preferences. So, maybe it's a good idea not to compromise on your safety and health and bet on a camp bed of higher quality and with better customer reviews and ratings.

For residential or camping purposes, the main point in getting bunk bed stretchers is that if you have a large family and the space in your tent is tight, no option is better than this. In most cases, they can be used both as a bunk and as two separate beds, and the space saving benefits of stacking the sleepers is unparalleled.

Also, after you're back from camping and in the familiar comforts of your own home, you'll still have a great solution for hosting guests, especially if you don’t have a dedicated guest room in your house. And your kids will be thrilled with the extra portable kids bed or two available for their sleepovers.

So, choosing the best bunk for camping will need some time for consideration and you'll need to know the main things you must look for and keep in mind. Let's see what they are:

• First off – Length and Width. The main thing that will determine the right size for your needs is the users. Obviously, a bunk stretcher that will be used by adults is going to have to be either standard sized (L) or extended (XL) for the big and tall. Kids will fit quite fine on the kid o bunks. Also, make sure you choose one that's a little larger than the user's measures, so that you'd have some more space to move around as you sleep.
• Next is weight. This, again, is pretty simple and straightforward as the size point we've mentioned. First, there's the weight of the user that should fit in the maximum weight capacity of the stretcher. The other weight that you should consider is that of the bunk bed itself. If it's going to be used for camping, you'll want to pick bunk cots that are lightweight. The frame should be made from materials that won't add too much weight to your camping gear, so it won't be as big a burden to carry and move. Disc O Bunks are perfect for this need.
• You've got size and weight sorted, but you really need to think about comfort just as much. Why is comfort a critical consideration? You should know if you've been camping at least once in your life. In your search for the best within this product category, you should look for a folding camp bed that's comfortable even without an extra pad or mattress. Better if there's some amount of open space around and to all sides of the sleeper, so it offers better ventilation and room to move around, for a more comfortable sleep.
• And it should offer some versatility. As we mentioned before, a bunk bed that can be used in more ways than just one is a thing you can be really happy with. Obviously, every temporary bed can provide you with a temporary place for temporary sleeping, but when you choose one that can be used in the playroom, and for guests, and for camping, and for sleepovers in other houses, it will be the best bang for your buck. And some (like the ones on this page) can also be converted into a bench or individual cots. So, go versatile!
• Not all cot bunk beds are made equal. If you have the chance to pick one that includes a storage bin or organizer, you'll definitely want this one. An organizer is a great add-on, as it provides additional storage space for your personal items. If the one you picked doesn't have organizers, though, it won’t be the end of the world, because you still have space underneath the bottom bunk to store your belongings and gear.
• Another important consideration is the materials that are used to make the bunks, especially the frame. Aluminum is a really good choice, because it's lightweight and affordable. Make sure that the materials are rust and corrosion resistant. That will guarantee a long-term use and functionality in all kinds of weather. Which brings us up to the next point:
• Warranty. It just as important as it is with almost any other piece of camping gear. Pick one that comes with as extensive warranty coverage as possible. So if it ever becomes defective, the manufacturer will give you free repair or replacement for defective parts. As long as it's not your fault that caused the problem, that is. Make sure you read the terms and conditions specified in the warranty and that you're satisfied with them.
• Bag: It's a good idea to choose a folding camp bed that comes with its own bag. It's easier this way to make sure that all the pieces are well-kept and the whole thing fits well inside and can be transported safely and without any hustle and bustle to the campsite.
• Finally, read some reviews. If you've already made your decision, or you hesitate between a few choices on your list at the end of the day, we advise you to go online and learn from the feedback of other people who already bought the products and have had some experience with them. This will surely make it easier to narrow down your options and help making up your mind.
