Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Regular overnight carp anglers. The supportive mattress, padded head section and adjustable frame are well suited to proper multi-hour sessions.
- Anglers who want a tidy sleep system. The double hinges and side straps make it easier to pack the bedchair and sleeping bag away as one compact unit.
Maybe skip if
- Mobile anglers walking miles to the swim. At 11.8kg before adding your sleeping bag, it’s a fair lump to lug around.
- Anglers buying a complete sleep system in one go. There’s no sleeping bag included, so you’ll need to match one separately.

Quick verdict
Verdict
The Fox Camolite Bed is a cracking all-round bedchair for carp anglers who want comfort, support and a compact pack-down. The full lumbar design and extra padding around the head end make it feel properly geared up for long nights on the bank.
It’s not the lightest or smallest bedchair around, and you’ll need to buy a sleeping bag separately. Even so, the adjustable legs, big mud feet and fold-flat frame make this a bob-on choice for regular overnight sessions.

The padded mattress, supportive frame, adjustable legs and tidy folding design give it a well-equipped feel.
The flat profile, lumbar support and six-leg setup should perform well across a range of overnight swims.
It won’t catch fish directly, but better sleep and quicker pack-down can leave you fresher and more organised on the bank.
Adjustable legs, swivelling feet, double hinges and side straps keep the practical stuff fairly painless.
It offers a strong comfort package, although the sleeping bag is an extra and the 11.8kg weight won’t suit everyone.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Camolite Bed
A decent bedchair can make or break a night on the bank. Get it right and you’re tucked up after the rods are out, ready for a bite-time alarm. Get it wrong and you’re twisting around all night, waking up with a back like a rusty gate. The Fox Camolite Bed is aimed squarely at anglers who want proper support without turning the swim into a furniture shop.
The standard model measures 212 x 90cm, so there’s a generous amount of room for most anglers to stretch out. Its normal profile sits at 36cm high, but the six adjustable legs raise it to a maximum of 45cm. That gives you a bit of flexibility when the swim is rough, sloping or dotted with soft patches.
Comfort starts with the flat-fold profile. Rather than relying on a saggy centre to support you, the design gives the mattress a more consistent platform across the bed. Full lumbar support is built in to help prevent the mattress dipping in the middle, which is a dead handy feature when you’re spending a full night between the rods.
The mattress itself is fleece-lined and padded, with Camolite fabric around the outer rim. That should give the bed a warmer, softer feel than a bare or overly basic sleeping surface. There’s also extra padding in the pillow section at the head end, so your noggin gets a little more support when you’re trying to switch off after a long day.
Fox has fitted six adjustable legs rather than leaving you to make do with a handful of fixed points. Each leg has a large swivelling mud foot, helping spread the load on softer ground and making it easier to get the frame sitting properly. It won’t flatten a jungle of tussocks, obviously, but it gives you useful adjustment on real-world banks.
The frame also folds in a way that’s properly useful for carp anglers. The double hinges let you fold a sleeping bag inside the bedchair, so you’re not wrestling with a bulky bag every time you pack down. Side straps then keep the folded package tight, which is spot on when the barrow is already loaded with rods, tackle and enough bait for a small village.
There is a trade-off, though. The standard Camolite Bed weighs 11.8kg, so it’s not a featherweight bit of kit. If your swim is a long hike through fields or woodland, you’ll feel that weight alongside the rest of your gear. For short barrow runs, van-based sessions and established pegs, it’s much less of an issue.
You also need to choose the size sensibly. Fox offers Compact, Standard and XL versions, and the dimensions will make a real difference to how much room you have in the swim and how easy the bed is to transport. The standard is the middle-ground option, giving you a useful 90cm width without going all the way to the bulk of an XL.
One important bit of kit-list housekeeping: the Camolite Bed is a bedchair, not a complete sleep system. No sleeping bag is listed as included, so budget for that separately. Pick a bag that works with the bed’s folded dimensions and you can take advantage of the internal storage trick. Do that, and this becomes a proper comfortable base for everything from a quick overnighter to a longer campaign session.

Our take
A bedchair built for proper kip time
The clever bit here isn’t flashy tech. It’s the combination of a supportive flat profile, a padded mattress and a frame that packs down neatly with your sleeping bag inside.
That makes the Camolite Bed a practical choice when you want to settle into a swim, get the rods out and know your kip won’t be ruined by a saggy middle or wobbly leg.
The bedchair itself
Supportive, padded and ready for the night shift
The Fox Camolite Bed is built around a fold-flat profile with full lumbar support. That’s the main comfort feature, helping reduce the sagging that can leave you feeling battered after a night on a basic bedchair. The fleece-lined padded mattress adds a softer contact surface, while the Camolite outer rim gives the edge a more finished feel.
The extra-padded pillow section at the head end is a nice touch for anglers who like a bit more support under the sleeping bag. Six adjustable legs give you plenty of levelling options, and the large swivelling mud feet are designed to sit more securely on softer ground.
Worth knowing. The standard bed weighs 11.8kg and folds to 89 x 83 x 24cm. That’s a useful packed shape, but it still counts as a fairly substantial bedchair for long barrow walks.
On the bank
A strong fit for regular overnight anglers
This bedchair makes most sense for carp anglers who regularly fish overnight and want a dependable kip between feeding spells. The supportive centre, padded mattress and adjustable legs all help create a more comfortable base when you’re settled into a swim for hours at a time.
It’s also a good shout if you like keeping your kit organised. With the double hinges, a compatible sleeping bag can fold inside the bedchair, while the side straps stop the bundle opening up during transport. That cuts down a bit of faff when you’re packing away after a hectic bite-time.
It’s less appealing for very mobile fishing where every gram matters. At 11.8kg, the standard version is a proper lump compared with lightweight alternatives. Anglers who are particularly tall or broad should also compare the Compact, Standard and XL dimensions before committing.
Quick answers
What you need to know before buying
The standard Fox Camolite Bed measures 212 x 90 x 36cm, with the legs extending the height to 45cm. It folds to 89 x 83 x 24cm and weighs 11.8kg.
It doesn’t include a sleeping bag. You’ll need to buy one separately, but the double-hinge frame is designed to let the bag stay inside when the bed folds.
For uneven swims, use the six adjustable legs to get the frame sitting flat, then make sure the large swivelling mud feet are planted properly. On soft ground, avoid leaving any leg carrying too much of the load.
