BushBed hammock – it’s a big, comfortable and light hammock with a mosquito net. “One pull & click” – an easy-operated mosquito set up system, handy pocket just above the head (to keep a headlamp, phone or other valuable things) and low weight place it among the best travel hammocks. It’s a big, comfortable, and light hammock with a unique mosquito net system that protects against insects and morning sunlight. BUSHBED works perfectly during traveling along with the bush or forest, at the seaside, or just in the garden. When you comfortably lay in, just pull the cord and the mosquito net will slide out. Then just click the buckle to finally close the net and you are fully protected against the insects.
Mosquito net
The mosquito net has a mesh of 1 mm pore diameter, making it perfect protection against even the smallest insects such as flies, black fleas, or young ticks. Its density and the special thread used in the net makes it impossible to chop down twigs, grasses, and other trash. It can be spread over the full or only the part of the length of the hammock. The mesh is on 2/3 of the mosquito net, while the rest of the overhead is covered with a hammock material. The canopy protects against direct sunlight, moisture, dust, and gives a pleasant sense of intimacy. At any time you can tilt the mosquito net creating a window between the net and hammock to look around, reach for something, or just talk to your friends. By blocking the second slide at the end of the hammock you can unzip the net directly above your head and, for example, admire the stars. The rest of the body is covered with a zippered hammock material to create a characteristic, safe cocoon. The slider connects the edges of the hammock by 2/3 of its length, from the feet to the head.
The Bushbed is equipped with a handy pocket for all the essentials. The pocket is placed over the head in order to make the content (eg. phone, headlamp, glasses) easily accessible. The Bushbed is packed into a travel bag with a tiny hole on the bottom. The hammock rope can be run through this hole so it will never be lost. During the day, the mosquito net can be stored in this bag. Both the hammock and canopy are made of the parachute fabric. Thanks to that they are airy, yet splash resistant.
The load capacity of the BushBed is 200kg; its size is 2,8m x 1.4m, therefore even a very tall person can sleep comfortably in both the classical and Brazilian positions. Two additional carabiners for assembly and 4m of ridgeline for hanging mosquito nets are also included. The weight, together with the mosquito net, is just 0.65 kg. That makes it one of the lightest hammock with a net.

Beautiful but it requires a bit of patience.

lightweight and comfortable hammock, convenient for hiking. Light canvas, an inside pocket for small objects, possibility of closing the hammock on half of its length and mosquito net provided.
the mosquito net system that can be used in addition is not very intuitive and requires practice to be able to handle it easily (Why system goes back and forth by rope to put it in place?)
the attachments provided for the hammock stands require the use of replacement straps and carabiners anyway to securely hang the hammock from trees.

It is what you pay for. Quality is ok. The moskito mesh is a bit fiddly to put over you or open up into the "parking position". The hammock is a simple hammock with "banana position" bedding because you can not lie diagonal in it: it is too narrow, see next point too! It has a zipper to close it all around you from feet to bellybutton which can be nice in some conditions, but to sleep in it for extended periods is only possible if your back is not hurting you in this banana position (curved bedding).

Based on a few uses, it works and is durable even under 125 kg. The manufacturer's own videos on Youtube are partly outdated, apparently from an older model. The attachment of the insect net and the routing of the strings had to be a little surprised for it to work as it should. Packes back into its own bag with reasonable ease, as long as you pack carefully from the beginning and press it to the back of the bag.
