What a bed tent is

A bed tent is a small tent that sits over a bed, or is itself the size of one. It keeps insects off you while you sleep, gives a little privacy in a shared room, and makes a bed feel like a space of your own. This range is small. It holds a folding mesh tent that fits over a single bed, for home, a student room, a holiday or a campsite, an ultralight one-person tent about the size of a single bed, for sleeping out, and two bed tents for children.

A mesh bed tent, a bed-sized tent, or a net

  • The folding mesh bed tent fits over a single bed, about 200 by 80cm and 56cm high. It needs no poles: you unfold it over the bed, and it folds away again. See mosquito nets.
  • The single person tent is 220 by 90cm and 50cm high, a little bigger than a single bed, and weighs about 690g. See 1-man tents.
  • Mosquito nets hang over a bed or inside a tent where a bed tent will not fit. See mosquito nets.
  • Children's bed tents: a pop-up fairy-tale castle bed tent with mesh windows and a carry bag, and a foldable teepee bed tent for children aged 3 to 7. See children's indoor tents.

Fit and air

A bed tent has to fit the bed. Measure the mattress, length and width, before you buy, and check the height: the mesh bed tent is 56cm high, enough to lie and turn over, not to sit up. Mesh lets air through, so the bed does not get stuffy on a warm night, and the fine weave keeps out flies and mosquitoes. Tuck the edges under the mattress, so nothing crawls in underneath, and check the zip is shut before you sleep.

Sleeping out in the single person tent

The single person tent is for camping: a mesh inner for air, aluminium poles, and a 210D Oxford cloth base. Its matching groundsheet, 220 by 90cm and rated 4,000mm, has six metal eyelets to peg it down in wind. It is sold as a separate item and also works as a picnic blanket.

Questions people ask about bed tents

Will a bed tent fit a double bed?

The mesh bed tent here is made for a single bed. For a double, a hanging mosquito net is the better choice.

Can I take a bed tent travelling?

Yes. The mesh bed tent folds away small and is light, so it suits a holiday where insects bite.
