Easy Fold Single Jumbo Stretcher

G'day Ross,

Yes, we're still pretty happy with the Easy Fold Single Jumbo Strehcer for 900mm wide swags. The Oztent stretchers tend to be a little small, but we have seen a few people going for the Oztent RS-1S Stretcher or Darche XL 100 Stretcher too.

G'day Sanso,

Yes, this will work really well as it should sit within the frame of the stretcher and make for a really good nights sleep!

G'day Andrew,

I reckon you'll run into trouble not getting enought support on the swag pole ends.  Take a look at the Darche XL 100 Stretcher, or the Oztent RS-1S King Single Stretcher, they'll both meet your length and width requirements.

G'day Daryl,

Yes - the Mitchell Discovery Swag will fit on this stretcher. Laine :)

G'day Martyn,

It'll be awfully close but as long as you peg out the Oztrail Tourer 9 Tent well, you should be able to just squeeze your Oztrail Easy Fold Single Jumbo Stretcher inside. 

G'day Grace,

I've just been on the shop floor, trying to put one of the Oztrail Easy Fold Single Jumbo Stretchers inside one of the Oztent RV5 Tents for you. I did manage to get it to go inside the end, although it was touching the end of the tent. This means that in dry weather you'll be absolutely fine but if it starts to rain then you'll probably end up getting the stretcher wet.

G'day Jenny, 

I've had a look through our range, and it appears that we don't have any single stretchers in our range that are made to be attached. 

We haven't tried this ourselves, so this may be ok but keep in mind that you would need to make sure that the weight was distributed evenly on both sides to correspond with the separate weight rating for each stretcher. 

Each stretcher will still only have a maximum of 150kg, so if you shift during the night there may be a problem with stability and balance so I can't say it's something we would recommend. 

G'day Gene,

If you’re after a durable hard wearing stretcher, the Gecko or the King Goanna would be your best bet.

The Gecko and the King Goanna as they are both slightly padded, wider than most stretchers (80cm) and are very sturdy so either is a good choice depending on the length you prefer (that’s the only difference between the two)

The Oztrail Easy Fold is going to be a little bit wider and has a gear loft and organiser – so it has a few more features - but I would say that the Oztent stretchers are a bit more comfy, and slightly better made which is why I would put them above the Easy Fold.

As for air beds, the Coleman Aerobed is a tried and tested customer favourite. If you’re interested in a mat to use on a stretcher or on the ground, one of the most comfortable one hands down is the Mega Deluxe (single or double) but if you’re after a budget option (that’s still comfy and easy to use) the Zempire Bomberpad (single or double size) is the way to go. 

G’day Kylie,

We’re not all that familiar with that range, but from looking at the specs of the Dune Premium Jumbo King Single, it's 195cm long and 90cm wide so it should fit well on top of the Oztrail Easy Fold Single Jumbo as it's 210cm long x 90cm wide. 

G'day Ian,

The Gecko is an excellent stretcher, but it can rock slightly so the Easy Fold would be the better option for a restless sleeper.

It’s always a good idea to add a mat for insulation, and in general for comfort (especially for a longer trip).

The Zempire Bomberpad or the Explore Planet Earth Sim Camper F60 are good options to use with a stretcher as both have non-slip dots on the bottom which helps to stop movement.

Another option would be to forget about a stretcher and go for a thicker self-inflating mat. This provides insulation for cold weather, and your son won't be able to fall off the bed. 

As for thicker self-inflating mats, the Zempire Bomberpad is a great budget option, or if you wanted to go for a top of the line model – the Black Wolf Mega Deluxe and the Exped Megamat are the most comfortable mats in our range. 

G'day Sam, 

I've just double checked on the product itself, and the Oztrail Easy Fold Single Jumbo Stretcher has as rated capacity of 150kg.
