I purchased your "big boy" swag and stretcher two years ago and since then I've travelled around Australia and spent roughly four months in your swag and during that time I never had a single problem with it. It was always easy and quick to set up and always a comfortable sleep no matter the ground we were camping on. Show details · 1

I have just purchased my first Kulyne swag, and it is a beauty. The quality of the product and complete professionalism in the construction of the product, ordering, delivery, and personal service were fist class. Australian companies like Kulkyne do deliver and compete with the bigger brands and they are Aussies. Sincere thanks and gratitude for all of service on my purchase. Happy Camper! Show details
I recently ordered two Mega 1100 swags from Kulkyne Swags Australia, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! After researching various top-end brands, I settled on Kulkyne, and it was the best choice I have made. The entire process was seamless, with excellent customer service from start to finish. Mandy was incredibly responsive, always… Read more
replying to my enquiries within 24 hours. I even had a great phone conversation with her about my order, as I was considering purchasing the stretcher beds later. She was extremely helpful, providing clear and honest information Shipping to WA was timely, and as soon as the swags arrived, I set them up. They exceeded my expectations in every way! The quality is exceptional—well-made, spacious, and incredibly easy to set up. Every component, including the durable pole bag, reflects the high standard of this business. I’m extremely happy with my purchase and highly recommend Kulkyne Swags to anyone looking for a top-quality swag with outstanding customer service. I look forward to putting them to the test on several trips this WA winter and will do a long-term review in spring.
In-depth reviews
Quality Swags, great customer service – I recently purchased my second Kulkyne swag - the first I brought was a queen to replace a Kings double swag that had flogged out. TBH the kings swag was pretty good value but we went from using it once or twice a year to once or twice a month and it just didn’t stand up to it. Hence the upgrade to the Kulkyne - a mate had one and I had always… Read more
been impressed with the quality. Had the queen for a couple of years now and has lived up to expectations, no worries - we look after it, making sure it’s dry and clean inside and out and it’s pretty well as new, despite a heap of use. We opted for the pillow top mattress - it’s comfy but seems to roll up pretty big and, I’m not 100% it’s the mattresses fault but we get more condensation between the floor n the mattress than I have with other swags - just means we often have to setup the swag at home after trips to make sure everything is dry, bit of a pain. The recent purchase is/was a single swag, for when away without the other half. I’ve only used it once but looks identical quality to the queen. It has a high density/standard mattress and I think I prefer it, but prob too early to tell. On delivery I realised the standard single is pretty small - I was aware of this on ordering so no knock on Kulkyne. I often camp out of my boat so wanted the swag to be compact but if I was to have my time over I would opt for the bigger king single or whatever it is. I’m only 5’6” and suggest anyone taller than me won’t fit in it, let alone ya bag etc… Kulkyne make a good product, I think people need to know that they are now made overseas, not here - but it doesn’t seem to have impacted the overall quality. Canvas, Stitching and even the aluminium poles/hoops are some of the best I’ve seen on swags - they simplified the centre spreader pole a while back and it’s now heaps better that the telescopic type that often seem to flog out.
Buy one you won’t be disappointed..

First thing to go on roof rack – It's about time I reviewed my Big Boy swag. My brother and I purchased our swags in 2014 and use it at least 6 times a year, for a min of 5 days each time. The swag has been to the desert many times in torrential rain that lasted all week, to blistering 45deg + Summer days. Absolutely no leaks in the rain, even when the ground is moving from… Read more
being washed away. The swag is roomy enough keep all your stuff dry and sleep comfortably at night. When it's not raining I roll the storm flaps up revealing the full length heavy duty fly mesh on both sides, nothing like looking up at the night sky in the bush, much better than TV! Prior to buying this swag I was a tent person, tried many different ones promising 5min up time, weather/water proof, none lived up to anything near what this swag can deliver. Roll her out, flexible rod in each end and one adjustable backbone/spine, done! If it takes you more than a couple of minutes to get it sleep ready, put your stubbie down and use both hands. Things I've added for a touch of luxury, Coleman rechargeable fan with built in led light and a thicker foam mattress. The mattress that comes with swag is OK on grass in Summer, but when it's cold and rocky, no. I've just purchased a Big Boy Stretcher which I'll review as soon as I use it. Not only does the stretcher lift your swag off the ground from the cold and rough surfaces, it makes it easier to put your boots on! The swag's canvass is slightly faded through a lot of heavy use in harsh environments, but that's it. The integrity is 100%, the zippers all work faultlessly, occasional spray of silicone spray helps. Overall, I really love my swag and IF it does bugger up, I wont hesitate to get another Kulkyne swag, best on the market hands down.
Making the great outdoors even greater – We have had this swag for over 9 months now and I cannot extol the virtues of it enough. Comfy, easy to set up/ take down, sturdy, compact when packed away, and suitable for all weather conditions. We used this on an East Coast road trip where we were going to use it for times when we weren't staying with friends or 'spoiling' ourselves in hotels.… Read more
We got the set up and take down to such an art that it only took a few minutes to do - even in pouring rain we could get it set up or take it down without a hitch. Oh and it was so comfortable that we never ended up spoiling ourselves in hotels, and quite often were tempted to set it up in friend's yards because it was so good that a standard mattress felt inferior. We had originally purchased an OZtrail Queen which didn't last more than one overnight trip before being damaged. It was only by chance that I stumbled upon a forum thread mentioning Kulkyne. I shall be forever grateful to that anonymous poster as they saved our trip - and if this post helps another, I will feel I've paid it forward. The Kulkyne Double Homestead not only withstood some seriously rough locations for weeks on end (uneven ground, sharp branches/ ground, rocky areas) without so much as a rip in the fly netting, but also heavy rain and winds. Oh, and our combined weight. And my partner's 6'5" height. The only thing we really had to do was add an extra foam layer (bought a queen size egg carton mattress topper and cut it down). We did this for added comfort, and extra warmth in Tasmania (got down to -4C and we were still toasty warm). Added to all this, dealing with Kulkyne as a company was a pleasure. Meeting someone who was as passionate about producing a top quality camping product as we are about owning them put our minds at ease. So in a nutshell... PROS - size/ length (esp when packed away) - comfort - ability to withstand all seasons/ weather types - durability (especially the swag materials) - build quality - ease and speed of set up CONS ... ummmm... None that I can think of TIPS - keep a couple of small blocks of wood to help with very uneven ground - add a mattress topper to the base for added warmth when camping in the cold, and for that extra level of comfort

Thanks to the staff of kulkyne . I brought the king single on the streacher and as soon as I got it my friends couldn't believe how good it is. My first camping in it I had people come up and ask all about it . Personally I love the space and the height when on the streacher makes it easy to get in and out off. Awesome.
Quality Swags, great customer service – I recently purchased my first Kulkyne Mega swag. Mandy was great to deal with and really helped me out when I encountered an issue with one of the aluminium spreader poles by sending a replacement the next day. Could not be happier with my purchase and highly recommend Kulkyne Swags to anyone looking for a top-quality swag with outstanding customer service. Show details
Great Swag from a Great Aussie Company – Truly a great swag from a great Aussie company. Mandy was great to deal with and really helped me out to ensure my swag arrived in time for my trip away. I've spent a week in it now and it's by far the best swag I have had. Thanks Kulkyne team Show details
An Aussie Brand you can trust - It does what it says – My 3rd purchase of this stretcher swag combo. All 3 kids (2 x adult 1 x 11 yo) Love these. Easy to set-up and pull-down and pack away. They're great for tall people. They do take-up a bit of space - but well it for the comfort and safety. Warm in winter. Cool in summer. Very dry (ours have fly's). We had a problem with one light not working -… Read more

Support Aussie, Go Kulkyne – Impressed with the product, service and brand message. Thanks to Mandy for her hard work, I was sitting on the fence with this purchase due to $$$ but Mandy was able to sell me the swag, stretcher carry bag and fitted sheet combo, I'm keen to use this product, first impressions, are that it's top-notch, locally made and sourced. Looking around it,… Read more
and testing the canvas as I'm seasoning it, I have 0 issues that this will keep me dry during the wet season up north for work on the farm.
Awesome set-up – I just spent 3 weeks camping in my kulkyne swag and it was great warm comfortable and most of all water proof. I recommend the stretcher bed great combination .
Amazing swag! – I bought a double XL swag for my husband’s birthday after reading all the positive reviews here, and I’m so glad I did! It is such a great design, fantastic quality and we love it. You can really see how much thought and creativity they have put into all the little touches which makes such a difference - like the shelf over your feet. The… Read more · 1
mattress is really comfy.
And I can’t forget to mention the bag - finally a generous bag that is so easy to put on the swag!! And lots of handles to make it so easy to carry.
Can’t recommend this swag more highly
Top quality swag – Great dealings with Amanda when ordering directly from company on phone to receiving product promptly at my address. I compared many different swags online and read many many reviews this swag stood out price and quality simple to set-up and pack up also, purchased the swag bag and has just a little more room to also pack some things in it with… Read more
swag if needed and material will last the time love the design and colour of bag also definitely a great buy
Great quality, fantastic service – Ordered the blue camo king single swag. Two weeks later, I still hadn't received tracking details. I called them and somehow, my order had slipped through the technology crack. That afternoon, they packed the swag and threw in a complimentary travel bag for the error. Received it within the week, seasoned it and used it. Incredibly easy to set up,… Read more · 1
my son slept well so I'm guessing comfortable. It didn't rain so unsure how well it goes in rain but there were no drip patches in the swag after 3 wettings and im going to say that I'm sure ot will stand the test of time. The swag easily fits into the bag. It does take up a bit more room than I imagined but I'm thinking that's normal (never had a swag before). Overall, the product exceeds my expectations and my son couldn't be happier with his travel bag. Would definitely recommend purchasing from Kulkyne. We bought direct from them without viewing it at a stockist first.
Great swag! – Great swag, comfy mattress, lots of airflow and the canvas seems to be good quality. The set up is easy and quick and rolled up the swag is not too big, so easy to fit in the car. The swag is excellent with the Kulkyne sleeping bag. I love the sleeping bag as it is warm without being too hot and has multiple warmth options which is great! Highly… Read more
recommend this company, they also have excellent customer service, which ranks high in my book! All in all I am extremely happy with this swag and sleeping bag and would recommend it to everyone!
Just what I needed for student use! – I needed tents for my High School students to use. It was great finding an Australian made tent at a competitive price made of tough materials. I've used them once and they lived up to their claims, being very easy to put up and able to withstand teenagers!
Great swag – Great swags. I have a king single and a double. Best swags I’ve had. Never had rain get in and plenty of ventilation in the hot weather we have the upgraded mattress in the double
Great swag – I bought the King Single swag, with bag, stretcher and fitted sheet as extra. The swag is well made and easy set up. The mattress felt fine on the ground.

Well made product – Only stretcher I found large enough for double kings swag and still fairly easy to set up, great when camping in one spot for 2+ nights. Sturdy and very comfortable.
First Swag Session – Big boy deluxe mattress swags arrived. Took swags on first adventure. Very comfortable warm and dry all night. Bags provided have plenty of room to roll your sheet sleeping bag.

Excellent and works perfectly In harsh climates of outback – Me and my wife went to Alice Springs from Melbourne with our kulkyne double swag. It was an excellent choice. It withstood harsh climates of outback. But only down side is that you have to tie it down quite tight to prevent the sides from sagging. The tie down ropes provided broke only after few uses so I recommend bring higtensile paracord as a replacement when you go on an adventure.
never lets me down-dry and comfortable – I love camping in storms . Non stop rain pouring all night and never a drop inside. Made to last, super fast set up and pull down. Ive added a rubber yoga mat under the mattress. Best sleep i get Show details

Queen Dome swag with pillow top mattress – Second to none . Rolls out and sets up within a few seconds even a child can set this up , no need to peg it out if your only spending the night and the weather is good. It doesn't sag in the sides like others do. It is top quality throughout from the canvas to the zips to te heavy pvc flooring. Ours has the pillow top mattress which is very… Read more
comfortable with it's 2 layers of low and high density foam. It's 220 cm in length so our feet were well away from the end, enough room for our dog to sleep at our feet . It was a terrible night for small bugs and nothing got through the flyscreens. Rolled out beside us was a well known brand cheap copy yes at first glance they look similar, but when you get in and have a good look the quality surpasses it in every way.
Great Colour – We brought the pink swag for our daughter , she loves it and the colour is fantastic and very good quality We got her the king single one and it was very big and roomy and a great price.
Best swag...best nights sleep – We used up at Karijini and got the best nights sleep! So comfortable Andrew slept under the stars! Off the ground and easy to put up and pack down! Worth every cent
Great swags – We have had 4 kulkyne swags for 10 years and just bought a second lot for our organisation. Great product and design. So glad we could still purchase from Kulkyne.
Good product – Product is good now I have received it and I’m happy to say it is of good quality and looks to be durable. I’ll give it a work out in a few weeks and add to this review a little more.
Kulkyne Big Boy Swag – Fantastic quality swag and built with heavy duty seams and zippers. Mattress provides a great nights sleep and the Big Boy dimensions are ideal to fit the swag on 1 metre wide stretcher. Very quick delivery and can't be happier with the product.thanks Mandy and Kulkyne.
Kulkyne Big Boy Swag – We bought our son a 'Big Boy' swag for his 11th birthday in May. He was so excited to unpack his swag and get it set up as quickly as possible - which was pretty quick!!!

price and delivery time.
Because of the ruggedness of the Kulkyne swag; my son is going to have this present for a very long time.
I love how the swag has been constructed with heavy duty zips, strong canvas with fine mesh for temperature contol, the awesomely comfortable mattress with removable washable cover and an entrance mat to leave your shoes - they've thought of everything and more.
Really good swags, but the straps sewn in are weak, and one broke off the first time i rolled it up Show details
