The camp bed from Goods+Gadgets made a very good impression in our test. In addition to the appealing but simple design, the product impresses with its high-quality materials. Customers can choose from three different colors (blue, green and black). With a weight of 5 kg, it is very light and can be stowed compactly in the transport bag. It impresses with its high stability and durability. However, it is a little awkward to set up due to the crossbars , which are difficult to assemble. Nevertheless, the camp bed is a good choice for camping trips or as a mobile guest bed.

This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
---|---|---|
Structure | Cross struts require a lot of force during assembly | 85 points |
Size | Generous lying surface with 195 x 65 x 45 cm | 100 points |
Load capacity | Loadable up to 150 kg | 100 points |
Stability | High stability due to well reinforced metal tubes | 100 points |
Total | 96 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The camp bed from Goods + Gadgets is a product that is characterized by its stability and resilience. With a generous lying surface of approx. 195 x 65 x 45 cm, it offers enough space to relax and sleep. Despite its size, the camp bed is light and easy to handle, weighing less than 5 kg. It can be stowed away effortlessly in the transport bag supplied and is therefore easy to transport.
The stability of the camp bed is ensured by multi-reinforced metal tubes and a robust construction. In our tests, we found that the bed remains stable even under a higher load of up to 150 kg and does not wobble or sag. It retains its shape and supports the user comfortably while sleeping.
One aspect that stands out negatively when assembling the camp bed is the crossbars. The assembly of these bars proves to be difficult and requires an enormous amount of force. This can lead to frustration and time-consuming assembly. Unfortunately, this aspect detracts from the otherwise positive overall impression of the product and leads to deductions during assembly.
In summary, the camp bed from Goods + Gadgets is a stable and resilient sleeping facility with a generous lying surface.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
---|---|---|
Price / performance ratio | Very good | 90 points |
Rating cut | 4.1 out of 5.0 stars on Amazon | 55 points |
Total | 73 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.1 stars. One criticism is that the cross struts can only be attached with great effort . There are also some complaints that the camp bed is not stable – although these reviews were written several years ago. Many customers like the load capacity, the well thought-out storage and the low product weight. We were also able to confirm the positive points in our practical test. With regard to stability, the manufacturer emphasizes that this has been improved and there are no current reviews that criticize the stability.
Prices of up to €220 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products, on the other hand, are available from as little as €34. This puts the Goods+Gadgets camp bed in the lower price segment with a current price of €44.99. Consequently, the price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services you get.
