Fox Camolite Bed

Fox Camolite Standard Bed – The Ultimate All-Rounder for Bankside Comfort

Get the best night’s sleep of your angling career with the Fox Camolite Standard Bed. Designed to provide a completely flat profile, this bed mimics the comfort of your home mattress while standing up to the rugged conditions of the bank. At the heart of the design is a full lumbar support system that eliminates the “hammock effect,” ensuring a firm, flat surface that protects your back throughout your session.

At Gerry’s Fishing, we consider the Standard model the perfect “goldilocks” choice—it offers more room than a compact bed without the massive footprint of an XL, making it compatible with almost every standard 1-man bivvy on the market. Finished in the iconic Fox Camolite trim, it’s a piece of hardware that looks as professional as it performs.

Key Features & Performance

• Total Lumbar Support: A reinforced tension system across the entire frame ensures the mattress stays firm and supportive, preventing sagging even after years of use.

• Fold-Flat Ergonomics: The completely flat profile provides maximum comfort and helps maintain a natural sleeping position.

• Luxury Padding: Features a high-density, fleece-lined mattress for superior warmth, accented by the durable Fox Camolite polyester outer rim.

• “Sleep-Ready” Design: Unique double hinges allow you to fold the bed away with your sleeping bag still attached, saving you vital time during setup and pack-down.

• All-Terrain Stability: Six fully adjustable legs with large, swiveling mud-feet ensure you stay level on soft grass, steep slopes, or muddy banks.

• Integrated Pillow Section: Extra padding at the head end provides immediate neck support, perfect for those who want to travel light without a separate pillow.

Technical Specifications (Standard Model)

Where to Use This Bed

• Standard 1-Man Bivvies: The 90cm width is the industry standard, meaning it fits perfectly in most shelters while still leaving room for your guest chair and luggage.

• 48-Hour Weekend Sessions: Provides the necessary support and comfort to keep you fresh for those early morning “bite time” windows.

• Barrow-Based Roving: At 11.8kg, it strikes a great balance between weight and comfort for anglers who have a bit of a trek to their favorite swim.

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Team

To keep your bedchair perfectly level on uneven ground, always adjust the middle legs first to take the main weight of your body. Once the center is stable, extend the head and foot legs until they just touch the ground. This prevents the frame from twisting and ensures the lumbar support works exactly as intended!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I fit a 5-season sleeping bag inside when it’s folded?

Yes! Thanks to the double-hinge design, there is plenty of internal space to leave your sleeping bag attached. Simply use the side tension straps to cinch it down for a compact, barrow-ready package.

How do I clean the fleece mattress?

The fleece lining is very durable. For general bankside dirt, a damp cloth is usually enough. For a deeper clean at the end of the season, use a mild fabric cleaner and allow it to air dry completely before folding it away for storage.

Is this bed better for my back than a traditional elasticated bed?

Absolutely. Traditional beds with elastic borders eventually stretch, causing you to “sink” in the middle. The Camolite’s full lumbar support is built into the frame tension, providing a much firmer, consistent surface that is far better for long-term back health.
