Staff tip:While the Tent Cot has a built in foam mattress, we recommend the addition of a second mattress for extra warmth and comfort.
Hey team, I can’t seem to find any info online as to whether or not you could leave a self inflating mat and/or bedding inside and still manage to fold it up. I understand it would be fatter but if you could leave bedding inside I would buy one in a heartbeat
Bohdan - Belmont North, NSW (3 years ago)
G'day Bohdan,
You definitely cannot leave a self inflating mattress inside at all, at absolute best you might get away with one of those thin old school hiking mats that are similar to a yoga mat - but nothing more than that. In terms of bedding you could probably leave a sheet and/or thin blanket in there, or something like a down quilt that compresses completely flat, but ultimately all bedding would need to be removed to pack away. Unfortunately I'm not aware of any stretcher tents that allow you to keep bedding inside for pack up - if this is an important deal-breaker for you I would recommend looking at a swag, and combining it with a stretcher.
Give us a buzz on 1300 914 007 & we can help you with some options!
Hope that helps.

Hey guys, what mattress would you recommend for added comfort?
Todd - WOODBERRY(5 years ago)
G'day Todd,
You've got approximately 70cm of width to play with inside the Original Tent Cot so we'd probably suggest checking out something like the Deluxe Camp Mat, or Sim Camper F100.

Can you leave the fly on or does it have to be packed up every time?1 answer
Would be great if the fly could be left on all the time.
Evan - Wendouree(6 years ago)
G'day Evan,
We would recommend always removing the fly and packing it down separately otherwise there is a risk of the fly getting pinched in the framework.

Do you have the rain fly that goes with this tent cot ?1 answer
K-man - perth(9 years ago)
Hi K-man! We don't stock the spare rain fly, but we could order one in from our supplier. If you'd like us to arrange that for you, please give us a call on 1300 914 007.

Width between legs when assembled3 answers
Hi, Would you be able to measure the distance from outside to outside of the legs where they contact the ground for me. I'm thinking of getting one of these or the oversize model to attach to my pontoon boat for overnight camping on the water. If it's not too much trouble could you also measure the oversize cot so I can compare.
Cheers,
Rob.
Rob - EARLWOOD, NSW(9 years ago)
We don't keep these on display in our store sorry Rob, so I am unable to check dimensions for you at this stage. I have contacted our supplier to see if they can source some measurements for us, I'll post my findings back here when they get back to me, and if we clear enough space in our showroom to set one up, I'll make sure I take the measurements for you. Sorry I couldn't give you some quick answers.
Ben - Snowys(9 years ago)
Hi again Rob. Our Tent Cot supplier has called back with some dimensions that offer a little insight, but only for the Oversized tent cot. The join for the legs is 25 cm back from the ends of the tent, but they then angle back towards the end. I would estimate the legs on the Oversized tent cot to be about 200 cm apart, and the Original cot, only having two legs to be approximately 110 cm apart. As mentioned previously, if I get an opportunity to take these measurements I will be sure to do it for you.
Ben - Snowys(9 years ago)
Thanks Ben,
Looks like I can only fit the original tent cot as I think the width of my boat is only 170cm. I'll go over and measure for sure and get back to you with an order.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers, Rob

How high off the ground is the mattress level?1 answer
Peter - Wellington NZ(10 years ago)
G'day Peter, good question, and thanks for bringing this missed specification to our website, I have updated the information. We don't have an original tent cot one on display at the moment, but some research into the Kamprite products indicates that the sleeping surface is 11 inches, or approximately 28 cm above ground.
