Does the ground just not do it for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only do camp stretchers lift you off the cold tent floor, they give you some height, which is handy when lowering yourself all the way to the ground (or hauling yourself back up) is far too much effort! For those wanting to maximise room, they&#8217;re also popular for the valuable storage space they free up underneath. And some campers simply get the heebie-jeebies over creepy crawlies exploring their bedding at ground level!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All reasons are valid, and your choice in a stretcher boils down to durability, stability, ease of use, a packed size that suits your transport, and &#8211; most importantly &#8211; finding one that&#8217;s the right size for your tent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we dive into the best stretcher for each activity, let&#8217;s run through a few points worth knowing first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Best-Camp-Stretchers-Beds-square-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Best-Camp-Stretchers-Beds-square-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Best-Camp-Stretchers-Beds-square-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Best-Camp-Stretchers-Beds-square-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Best-Camp-Stretchers-Beds-square-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Best-Camp-Stretchers-Beds-square-10x10.jpg 10w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Best-Camp-Stretchers-Beds-square.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 ez-toc-wrap-center counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white ez-toc-container-direction\">\r\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\r\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Jump straight to<\/p>\r\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\r\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/best-camp-stretchers\/#Choosing_A_Camp_Stretcher_%E2%80%93_Before_You_Buy\" >Choosing A Camp Stretcher &#8211;

Before You Buy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stretchers are pretty straightforward &#8211; a fabric sling on a metal frame. Here are a few basics worth weighing up before you buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>If you&#8217;d prefer an in-depth discussion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/podcast-camp-stretcher-guide\/\">Ben and Lauren talk camp stretchers in this episode of the Snowys Camping Show &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ep 197 - Everything You Need to Know Before Buying a Camp Stretcher\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Iy7Rc73fsnk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You May Also Need A Mattress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most camp stretchers have a single skin of roughly 600D fabric making up the sling you lie on. Some models add a little padding, but the reality is this: use a sleeping bag directly on a stretcher in cold conditions and you&#8217;re going to feel it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that&#8217;s your plan, add a mat to your setup. One roughly the same dimensions as your stretcher is fine; it doesn&#8217;t need to match perfectly. This insulates you from the cold air beneath the stretcher and adds comfort. Worried about it sliding around? A couple of straps will hold it in place, though that&#8217;s rarely necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some Frames Are More Stable Than Others<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s always a trade-off between packed size, weight, and stability. Cross-leg stretchers, like the models from Oztent, take up less space in your vehicle and offer good sideways stability, but will rock a little lengthways. They usually have an end bar, which suits people who like to sit on the end, but isn&#8217;t ideal if you&#8217;re taller than the stretcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast-fold frames, like the OZtrail Easy Fold and Roody Rapid, offer more stability, but the extra framing means they weigh a little more. These are often preferred by taller campers, as there&#8217;s generally no end bar, leaving the space clear for feet and heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Putting A Swag On Top? &#8211; Make Sure It&#8217;s Big Enough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as the dimensions are roughly the same, you can generally put any swag on any stretcher. Some swags won&#8217;t set up quite as well, since you can&#8217;t use the same pegging points, and they&#8217;ll sag a little in the middle following the shape of the stretcher, but it&#8217;s a common and workable combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some stretchers are made specifically for swags. These are usually 100cm+ wide with straps on the corners to secure your swag, but are otherwise the same as any other stretcher. There&#8217;s a slight benefit to a stretcher that&#8217;s marginally narrower than your swag, so water runoff doesn&#8217;t pool on top, but it&#8217;s not worth overthinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quest Outdoors have taken this further with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/swag-and-mattress-platform\">Swag and Mattress Platform<\/a> &#8211; a bulkier option, but one that gives single and double stretchers a stable, flat base without the usual sag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some Double Stretchers Have A Centre Bar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a double stretcher that&#8217;s stable and won&#8217;t sag in the middle, you&#8217;ll want a model with a centre bar &#8211; though that bar does get in the way of snuggling up to your loved one. Any double without one will sag towards the centre to some degree; there&#8217;s no two ways about it. That said, we&#8217;ve got plenty of happy customers on double stretchers like the 23Zero Husky 1400 Super Lite and Darche XL 1400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use a single double mattress on either version, but on a centre-bar model we recommend two single mattresses instead &#8211; they tend to sit flatter that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>For more on the centre bar debate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/podcast-double-stretchers-bar-or-no-bar\/\">tune in to listen to Ben and Lauren talk about it on the Snowys Camping Show here &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ep 151 - Double Stretchers: Bar or No Bar?\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_TXiHFuBl3w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Think About Protecting Your Tent Floor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one&#8217;s optional, and a bit of common sense will tell you whether it&#8217;s worth it. On a grassy site, the stretcher feet are unlikely to cause any trouble. But on a rough gravel site, your tent floor ends up sandwiched between the ground and the stretcher feet, so an extra layer is worth considering. A simple tarp, some cardboard, or a blanket will do the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Confirm It Will Fit In Your Tent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one&#8217;s caught a few people out over the years. Your tent floor measurements might suggest the stretcher will fit, but you also need to check the width 30-40cm up the wall, because that&#8217;s the height the stretcher sits at, and sloped tent walls eat into that usable space. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/can-i-fit-a-camp-stretcher-in-that-tent\/\">We&#8217;ve got more on fitting a stretcher in your tent here &gt;&gt;<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Make sure you measure the available space in your tent before buying a stretcher, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/podcast-stretchers-in-tents\/\">tune in here for more on that topic &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ep 56 - Will That Stretcher Fit?\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ncqwWlGd05Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_All-Round_Camping_Stretcher\"><\/span>Best All-Round Camping Stretcher<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">    <div class=\"snowys-product-card\">\r\n                    <div class=\"snowys-product-image\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/rapid-800-single-stretcher?c=Coffee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.snowys.com.au\/content\/images\/thumbs\/1325299_rapid-800-single-stretcher-coffee_640.jpeg\"\r\n                         alt=\"Roody Rapid 800 Single Stretcher Coffee\"\r\n                         loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"snowys-product-details\">\r\n\t\t\t            <h3 class=\"snowys-product-title\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/rapid-800-single-stretcher?c=Coffee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    Roody Rapid 800 Single Stretcher Coffee                <\/a>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                        <p class=\"snowys-price-wrap\"><span class=\"snowys-price\">$99.90<\/span><\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"snowys-availability snowys-in-stock\">In Stock<\/p>\r\n                        <div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"snowys-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/rapid-800-single-stretcher?c=Coffee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\tView Product\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Roody might be the new kid on the block, but the Rapid stretcher already feels like a seasoned campaigner.

Its no-centre-bar design means there&#8217;s nothing down the middle to break up the bed &#8211; just one wide, uninterrupted surface built to take the big 1400mm swags, for couples who like to spread out (or snuggle in).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s made to carry the heavy stuff, swallowing double swags whole and handling up to 250kg between two sleepers. The 600D laminated polyester deck with PVC support panels stays taut and comfortable, while a cross-over steel and alloy frame keeps things stable on uneven ground. Setup runs to a quick three steps, and it folds down compact for the drive home. Worth noting: with no centre bar, some sleepers notice a little give towards the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For couples chasing room to move and a night off the cold ground, the XL 1400 is the standout double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Available in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/xl-100-camp-stretcher\">King Single (100)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/xl-1400-double-swag-stretcher\">Double (1400)<\/a> sizes<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Best for couples, double swags, or anyone who moves around in their sleep. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Camping_Stretcher_For_A_Swag\"><\/span>Best Camping Stretcher For A Swag<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">    <div class=\"snowys-product-card\">\r\n                    <div class=\"snowys-product-image\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/rs-1s-king-single-stretcher-series-ii\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.snowys.com.au\/content\/images\/thumbs\/1236325_rs-1s-king-single-stretcher-series-ii_640.jpeg\"\r\n                         alt=\"Oztent RS-1S King Single Stretcher Series II\"\r\n                         loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"snowys-product-details\">\r\n\t\t\t            <h3 class=\"snowys-product-title\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/rs-1s-king-single-stretcher-series-ii\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    Oztent RS-1S King Single Stretcher Series II                <\/a>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                        <p class=\"snowys-price-wrap\"><span class=\"snowys-price\">$249.90<\/span><\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"snowys-availability snowys-in-stock\">In Stock<\/p>\r\n                        <div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"snowys-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/rs-1s-king-single-stretcher-series-ii\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\tView Product\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>If your swag&#8217;s looking for a bed of its own, the Oztent RS-1S is the stretcher built for the job.

Anti-sway stabiliser bars keep things rock-steady through the night, and a tough 25mm steel frame with ripstop polyester sides shrugs off the extra load a loaded swag brings. The X-leg design snaps up fast and packs down tight for the next trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For swag owners who want to sleep up off the ground without the guesswork, the RS-1S is the purpose-built pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Best stretcher to go underneath king-single swags<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Camping_Bunk_Stretcher\"><\/span>Best Camping Bunk Stretcher<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">    <div class=\"snowys-product-card\">\r\n                    <div class=\"snowys-product-image\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/deluxe-double-bunk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.snowys.com.au\/content\/images\/thumbs\/1273774_deluxe-double-bunk-bed_640.jpeg\"\r\n                         alt=\"OZtrail Deluxe Double Bunk Bed\"\r\n                         loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"snowys-product-details\">\r\n\t\t\t            <h3 class=\"snowys-product-title\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/deluxe-double-bunk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    OZtrail Deluxe Double Bunk Bed                <\/a>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                        <p class=\"snowys-price-wrap\"><span class=\"snowys-price\">$179.99<\/span><\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"snowys-availability snowys-out-of-stock\">Out of Stock<\/p>\r\n                        <div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"snowys-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/deluxe-double-bunk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\tView Product\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Kids love a bunk, and the OZtrail Deluxe Double Bunk turns bedtime into the best part of camp. Two sleepers stack into a single footprint, so a crowded tent suddenly has room to spare &#8211; and a built-in safety rail on the top bunk keeps the little ones secure through the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A powder-coated steel frame with leg and anti-roll corner supports keeps it steady, even with restless sleepers up top (the top bunk takes 100kg, the bottom 120kg). A handy side organiser keeps a phone, tablet, or torch within reach, and when the bunk&#8217;s not needed, it splits into two single stretchers, so it grows with the family. Pack-down folds neatly into its own carry bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For family campers chasing more floor space and fewer bedtime battles, the Deluxe Double Bunk is the standout pick for the kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Best stretcher option for sleeping kids on family trips<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Large_Camping_Stretcher\"><\/span>Best Large Camping Stretcher<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">    <div class=\"snowys-product-card\">\r\n                    <div class=\"snowys-product-image\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/husky-1400-double-stretcher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.snowys.com.au\/content\/images\/thumbs\/1323055_husky-1400-double-stretcher_640.jpeg\"\r\n                         alt=\"23Zero Husky 1400 Super Lite Double Stretcher\"\r\n                         loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"snowys-product-details\">\r\n\t\t\t            <h3 class=\"snowys-product-title\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/husky-1400-double-stretcher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    23Zero Husky 1400 Super Lite Double Stretcher                <\/a>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                        <p class=\"snowys-price-wrap\"><span class=\"snowys-price\">$399.95<\/span><\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"snowys-availability snowys-out-of-stock\">Out of Stock<\/p>\r\n                        <div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"snowys-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/husky-1400-double-stretcher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\tView Product\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>The 23Zero Husky 1400 is the newer name in big double stretchers, and it&#8217;s fast winning a following. It strikes the balance most campers are chasing &#8211; a lighter, lower-fuss alternative to the proven Darche XL 1400, with the same full-size sleeping space but a fair bit less to lug around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At just 16kg, the aerospace-grade aluminium frame is easy for one person to carry and set up, yet still handles a hefty 250kg across two sleepers. The zero centre bar gives you an uninterrupted surface, while integrated tensioning straps and anti-sway stabilisers keep it taut and rock-steady on uneven ground. It packs down slim for the boot or roof, and there&#8217;s a magnetic sunglasses holder and two under-stretcher storage nets thrown in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For couples chasing the best all-round mix of weight, stability, pack size, and space, the Husky 1400 is the standout large stretcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Available in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/husky-100-stretcher\">King Single (100)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/husky-1400-double-stretcher\">Double (1400)<\/a> sizes<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Best balance of strength, size and weight for large stretchers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Lightweight_Camping_Stretcher\"><\/span>Best Lightweight Camping Stretcher<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">    <div class=\"snowys-product-card\">\r\n                    <div class=\"snowys-product-image\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/high-cot-one?c=Black&#038;s=Regular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.snowys.com.au\/content\/images\/thumbs\/1258739_high-cot-one-black-regular_640.jpeg\"\r\n                         alt=\"Helinox High Cot One Black Regular\"\r\n                         loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"snowys-product-details\">\r\n\t\t\t            <h3 class=\"snowys-product-title\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/high-cot-one?c=Black&#038;s=Regular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    Helinox High Cot One Black Regular                <\/a>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                        <p class=\"snowys-price-wrap\"><span class=\"snowys-price\">$519.90<\/span><\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"snowys-availability snowys-in-stock\">In Stock<\/p>\r\n                        <div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"snowys-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/high-cot-one?c=Black&#038;s=Regular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\tView Product\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>If weight and pack size are everything, the Helinox High Cot One is in a class of its own.

It tensions the surface taut to fight sag, sits high enough to double as a bench by day, and snaps together in seconds. Reinforced fabric and a 5-year warranty mean this featherweight is built to go the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s the priciest stretcher here and tops out at 145kg, but for hikers, tourers, and minimalists who count every gram, the High Cot One is the best lightweight pick going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Best for compact and lightweight camp setups.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Camping_Stretcher_For_Hiking\"><\/span>Best Camping Stretcher For Hiking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">    <div class=\"snowys-product-card\">\r\n                    <div class=\"snowys-product-image\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/lite-cot-stretcher?c=Black\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.snowys.com.au\/content\/images\/thumbs\/1277242_lite-cot-black_640.jpeg\"\r\n                         alt=\"Helinox Lite Cot Camp Stretcher Black \"\r\n                         loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"snowys-product-details\">\r\n\t\t\t            <h3 class=\"snowys-product-title\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/lite-cot-stretcher?c=Black\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    Helinox Lite Cot Camp Stretcher Black                 <\/a>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                        <p class=\"snowys-price-wrap\"><span class=\"snowys-price\">$419.90<\/span><\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"snowys-availability snowys-in-stock\">In Stock<\/p>\r\n                        <div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"snowys-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/lite-cot-stretcher?c=Black\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\tView Product\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>A sleeping mat will always be lighter, but for hikers who want more support &#8211; or simply prefer being up off the ground &#8211; the Helinox Lite Cot is the lightest way to get it.

Raised off the ground, it lifts you clear of cold, damp, and crawling nasties, with a firmer, more even surface than a mat laid on bare dirt. Reinforced polyester and a 5-year warranty back it for the long haul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It asks a little more pack weight than a mat alone, but for hikers and bikepackers who want proper support without the bulk of a full stretcher, the Lite Cot is the standout pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Best stretcher for hikers. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Most_Stable_Camping_Stretcher\"><\/span>Most Stable Camping Stretcher <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">    <div class=\"snowys-product-card\">\r\n                    <div class=\"snowys-product-image\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/easy-fold-single-jumbo-stretcher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.snowys.com.au\/content\/images\/thumbs\/1327468_easy-fold-single-jumbo-stretcher_640.jpeg\"\r\n                         alt=\"OZtrail Easy Fold Single Jumbo Stretcher\"\r\n                         loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"snowys-product-details\">\r\n\t\t\t            <h3 class=\"snowys-product-title\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/easy-fold-single-jumbo-stretcher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    OZtrail Easy Fold Single Jumbo Stretcher                <\/a>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                        <p class=\"snowys-price-wrap\"><span class=\"snowys-price\">$139.99<\/span><\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"snowys-availability snowys-in-stock\">In Stock<\/p>\r\n                        <div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"snowys-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/easy-fold-single-jumbo-stretcher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\tView Product\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>If you want a stretcher that just works, the OZtrail Easy Fold Single Jumbo is the all-rounder that&#8217;s hard to fault.

With no head or foot crossbars, even tall campers can stretch out flat, and the 150kg-rated powder-coated steel frame holds firm night after night. A side organiser and detachable gear loft keep your phone, book, and torch sorted, and it folds into a zippered carry bag when you&#8217;re done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Easy, sturdy, and roomy, the Easy Fold Single Jumbo is the dependable all-rounder for campers who want a no-fuss bed that won&#8217;t budge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Available in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/easy-fold-low-rise-single-stretcher\">Low Rise<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/easy-fold-single-stretcher-2\">Single<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/easy-fold-single-jumbo-stretcher\"> Jumbo<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/easy-fold-queen-stretcher\">Double<\/a> sizes<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Best for stability across a range of sizes. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Most_Comfortable_Camping_Stretcher\"><\/span>Most Comfortable Camping Stretcher <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">    <div class=\"snowys-product-card\">\r\n                    <div class=\"snowys-product-image\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/big-sky-stretcher-bed-regular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.snowys.com.au\/content\/images\/thumbs\/1251920_big-sky-stretcher-bed-regular_640.jpeg\"\r\n                         alt=\"Coleman Big Sky Stretcher Bed Regular\"\r\n                         loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"snowys-product-details\">\r\n\t\t\t            <h3 class=\"snowys-product-title\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/big-sky-stretcher-bed-regular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    Coleman Big Sky Stretcher Bed Regular                <\/a>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                        <p class=\"snowys-price-wrap\"><span class=\"snowys-price\">$99.90<\/span><\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"snowys-availability snowys-out-of-stock\">Out of Stock<\/p>\r\n                        <div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"snowys-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/big-sky-stretcher-bed-regular\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\tView Product\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>The good old trusty\u00a0Big Sky Beds\u00a0from Coleman have been accommodating campers comfortably for a very long time.

The foam mat is included and creates a super comfortable and insulated surface to rest upon. The Big Sky Beds are easy to set up and have hooped legs that are friendly on tent floors \u2013 but their larger packed dimensions can put some people off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coleman&#8217;s Big Sky Beds are an ideal budget-friendly choice for long term stays, or as a spare bed at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Available in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/big-sky-stretcher-bed-compact\">Compact<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/big-sky-stretcher-bed-regular\">Regular<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/big-sky-stretcher-bed-deluxe\">Deluxe<\/a> sizes<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Best if you want comfort straight out of the box.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Kids_Camping_Stretcher\"><\/span>Best Kids Camping Stretcher <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">    <div class=\"snowys-product-card\">\r\n                    <div class=\"snowys-product-image\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/w-leg-stretcher-bed-v2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.snowys.com.au\/content\/images\/thumbs\/1251443_w-leg-stretcher-bed-v2_640.jpeg\"\r\n                         alt=\"Zempire W Leg Stretcher Bed V2\"\r\n                         loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"snowys-product-details\">\r\n\t\t\t            <h3 class=\"snowys-product-title\">\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/w-leg-stretcher-bed-v2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n                    Zempire W Leg Stretcher Bed V2                <\/a>\r\n            <\/h3>\r\n                        <p class=\"snowys-price-wrap\"><span class=\"snowys-price\">$95.00<\/span><\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"snowys-availability snowys-in-stock\">In Stock<\/p>\r\n                        <div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"snowys-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/w-leg-stretcher-bed-v2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\tView Product\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>For the kids, the Zempire W Leg V2 is the stretcher that ticks the boxes parents care about. It sits low to the ground at just 19cm, so there&#8217;s not far to roll for little ones, and at 5.5kg it packs down small enough to throw a few in the boot without filling the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easy-build tension-leg design goes together fast, and once the leg locks click in, it&#8217;s secure and stable for restless sleepers. A rust-resistant powder-coated steel frame and tough 600D poly oxford top handle up to 100kg, and creates a handy storage area underneath keeps toys, torches, and clothes out of the walkway. It all zips back into its own compact carry bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Low, light, and easy to pack in multiples, the W Leg V2 is the standout stretcher for families kitting out the kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Best simple low-rise stretcher for kids<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Camping_Stretcher_FAQs\"><\/span>Camping Stretcher FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1781238973885\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are camping stretchers comfortable?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">That depends largely on your setup. The bare fabric sling on its own is firm and won&#8217;t feel like much, but add a mat or mattress on top and it&#8217;s a comfortable, supportive sleep. The big win is getting up off the ground, so no rocks, roots, or cold seeping up through the floor, and you have a nigher ledge to sit on in your shelter.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1781238746343\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do I need a mattress on a camp stretcher?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">In cold conditions, yes. Most stretchers are just a single skin of fabric, so cold air underneath will get to you. Adding a mat roughly the same size as your stretcher insulates you from below and bumps up the comfort. It doesn&#8217;t need to match the dimensions perfectly.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1781238765096\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I put any swag on any stretcher?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Generally, yes, as long as the dimensions are roughly the same. It may not set up as cleanly since you can&#8217;t use the usual pegging points, and it&#8217;ll sag a little in the middle to the shape of the stretcher, but it&#8217;s a common and workable combination. Some stretchers are made specifically for swags, with extra width and corner straps to hold things in place.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1781238780802\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do stretchers sag in the middle?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">All stretchers sag a little over time, but it&#8217;s more noticeable on doubles. Any double without a centre bar will sag towards the centre to some degree, so if you want a stable, flat sleep surface, choose a model with a centre bar, keeping in mind it sits between you and your partner. On a centre-bar model, two single mattresses tend to sit flatter than one double.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1781238796905\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do I need to protect my tent floor?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Only sometimes. On grass, the stretcher feet are unlikely to be a problem. On rough gravel, your tent floor gets sandwiched between the ground and the feet, so a tarp, some cardboard, or a blanket underneath is worth the effort.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1781239035789\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do camping stretchers fold up small?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Most fold down to a manageable size for the boot, though it varies by design. The sturdier fast-fold frames tend to weigh a bit more rather than pack much bigger, so weight is usually the trade-off, not bulk. If packed size is your main concern, lightweight options like those from Helinox fold down especially small and are easy to stow.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1781239097904\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I put two stretchers together?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, pushing two single stretchers side by side is a popular way to set up for couples. Cross leg stretchers with an end bar won&#8217;t sit as closely together as those without, and you&#8217;ll have a small gap where they meet. Strapping the two frames together also stops them drifting apart through the night.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-21849 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='21849' data-nonce='12ff46ed16' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Liked it' \/><span class='lc-21849 lc'>69<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-21849 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knees giving you grief?
