Improved GB2 Bed Sleeve
The Improved GB2 Bed Sleeve has received a new upgrade! The original was just a simple canvas with grommets. The new and improved model maintains the unwaxed canvas top for maximum breathability for the portion that is in contact with you as you lay on it, but now features a waxed canvas bottom half that is made to protect you and any duff you placed inside from moisture wicking up from the ground. Think of it as a built in ground cloth! In addition, if you had to fill the bag with damp material because of the conditions, you can flip it over and lay on the waxed side which will protect you from the moisture in the duff. This was a modification that was found to be needed after a couple more years of field use.
The Gb2 Bed Sleeve is extremely comfortable and versatile. It can be used as a browse bed (stuffed with grasses or leaves make a mattress) to lay directly on the ground. The original design required you to use cordage to tie the ends together. The new and improved design features convenient snap closures.
It can also be used as a raised bed in several different configurations. The sleeve is designed to allow for poles to be put through so it forms a sort of cot to lay on up off the ground. You can also stuff the inside with duff or a sleeping pad for extra insulation in this configuration.
The GB2 Bed Sleeve also features grommets in each corner so that it can be modified to use as a hammock. Again, the sleeve can still be filled with natural insulation or a sleeping pad when in this configuration.
It could also be used as an improvised stretcher or travois if needed.
The GB2 Bed Sleeve is made using 10 ounce Duck Canvas and 10.10 ounce Gridwax Waxed Canvas in green.

Is this waterproof?
The waxed canvas side is waterproof. The other side is not. You want your bed to breathe so you're not sleeping in your own sweat.
Should I wax this?
No! You want the canvas to breathe for the most comfort.
Can I use this on the ground?
Yes. Browse bed, raised bed, and hammock use are common.

Versatility, functional, and durable. What’s not to like. This definitely upped the game into comfort zone. Now I may have to buy one for the wife before I lose mine, haha

Sturdy and well manufactured, this is a long term piece of kit if treated well…but it will definitely hold up to any abuse I can give it in the field. Well done.

I would purchase anything GB2 sells because it all the best. As Josh once said, “I don’t sell shit.”
Dustin (verified owner) –
The quality and craftsmanship are outstanding! The waxed bottom and breathable upper work perfectly together with the snaps to lock in leafs or any insulator. This whole set-up is a very smart creation.
