For the record, I own and use six different Kings Swags for my family. They have a place in the market and as such are great products for the price. The problem I have encountered is that the mass producing has highlighted problems. My mattress is not the described mattress you get. Each swag has different sized mattresses.
Kings Deluxe Single Swag review, 12months on and I know I am going to be hated.
Yes I have contacted Kings, Yes I know the price of it. Sorry but I need this to be known.

Thanks mate for your honest review- you have just saved me a heap of money!
Honestly we still have the Kings swag and my son uses it when he comes out. But we will be retiring it soon.
Thanks for the Kings review and an alternative. Was considering a Kings but not after this. Cheers
Jay, The Swag is worth the money, you can easily upgrade the mattress and fix the sagging. But If you have the money I suggest a Crashpad, Darche or Rainger.
I have mine pegged down with jockey straps on the poles running to the peg and it helps with the sag a lot. Just a tip for anyone with a kings swag.
That's an awesome idea. Thankyou for sharing, it's the little things that make the comfort so much better.
The Kings double deluxe 75mm mattress is currently $149 as at 9.6.22.
I'm almost positive the other swag is dearer now, the double is around $600 give or take.
If you can afford $500 to over $600 for a (double swag) good luck to you.
But with prices absolutely through the roof atm in food power mortgage everything, no real wage increase for years (unless you're a politician mongrels) a $149 swag it is for me, with ocky straps, electrical conduit like a ctr rib or aluminum adjustable poles either side!
Thank you for the review.
Cheers
Steve, Thank you for your reply.
I have noticed that Kings has started to try and fix a lot of the issues they have had with their products, and yeah who can afford anything these days. I have not been on a trip in ages, Camped over a month ago and was only down the road due to the prices of fuel.
The current climate is looking bleak for many things right now. When I made this review I was not in the best mind set and should make a updated one as this swag is still used by my son. I still have my Crashpad swag and it is amazing. But you do pay for it.
If I was to do it again, I would buy the Kings swag, I have no hesitation at all. If it came down to it, I would have made it work. I am fortunate enough to be able to get the Crashpad and was going to actually upgrade to the Rainger RT1 swag, but the stocks are just not there. So I might stay with Crashpad.
Thank you again for you comment. I do love hearing from everyone that watch the video.
Cheers
Dave
Nice honest review, regardless of the saying "you get what you pay for" - you should at the very minimum be getting a mattress that fits the swag....
I've noticed that the quality of Kings swags (big daddy included) have gone down since purchasing mine ~2016.
Again, Kings have a great place in the market (being less than half of what a Crashpad is worth) but it all comes down to how often you want to use it & how long you want it to last.
Cheers mate. I get asked all the time what to get on here, Facebook and Instagram. I have used both ends of the market and own both ends.
Thank you for this. I'll save and get the better one. Good long term investment.
Check out the new 23Zero swag, i seen the new design today and rate it.
As they say you get what you pay for, kings are great for the price but quality always outlasts, I have the kwiky single and I am looking at upgrading to the crash pad thanks for the update info and advice as soon as funds increase I’ll be upgrading 👍🤓
Crashpads are amazing swags. I have the Rainger RT2 (Double) and its a amazing product with so many features.
I have been camping with tents. Am new to swags and testing out one that was gifted to me "Kings big daddy deluxe". Setup in the back yard and already see all the floors and design ussies in it, not to mention the leaks after a good seasoning. Started tents with a 4 man dome then graduated to 6 man instant popup Coleman. Have to say it has been awesome. packs the same size as a double swag but do have extra space needed for bedding e.g. self inflating mattress. Still love it. Setup[ and pack up is similar to a swag if you are pegging out ground sheet and placing a cover over the top (tarp or something like that to stop the frost). No issues with ventilation or condensation, can stand up to get changed, internal size is as a small bedroom.
Only advantage I can see with a good water proof swag is potentially setup and take-down time, possibly stopping the glamping affect. Will let you know my experience as the idea for myself with the swag is 1 night stays and moving on compared to previous base camping. Will test all this winter (real camping season in Vic) lol.
At the time of this video, I was going through mixed emotions. The swag is one of the best, with value for money, simple modifications can make them extremely useful.
Hey mate, just curious if you considered a Darche and if you compared it to the 23zero? Thanks for the review, I was thinking about getting one as a second swag when I want to travel light but thankfully for your review I wont waste my time. I usually use a Darche 1100 on a stretcher, nice to have the extra room but its big and heavy and hard to roll up for an old bloke.
Hi Legend, I had actually wanted the Darche, but at the time, I could not get anything. The Crashpad, was the only one I was able to buy at the time. Now that I have seen all the brands, I would easily rate any brand. We actually still use the Kings Deluxe and have been blown away with its quality. The Crashpad has had a few issues even though the price point. A simple self-inflating mattress would fix most of the issue and pegging down the sides seems to help the sag in the middle.
Lately I have been testing the San Hima inflatable swag, but as small, light weight swag, I wouldn't recommend it either. To keep it light I would go either a Alton hammick and 3x3m tarp, with a Mozzie net. That I would love try myself.
@@DestinationOffroad Should do a review of the 23zero 🙂
I do not think 23Zero would give me one to test. Unfortunately I am restricted by funds like most. From what I have seen, I would love to have one, but I have to many as it is.
Not a fan of the brand but after 3yrs of owning a big daddy deluxe swag, I'm still happy with it. Only issue I have is it's size. Im 6'1 and I bought it to be comfortable in but carrying it around is a pain. It takes up a fair bit of room and isn't the lightest of things. I've been looking at a crashpad single swag and stretcher for a little while now for an upgrade this year sometime but the price has put me off a little just at the moment as I want it but haven't had much time to get out and actually use it if I did get it. At the end of the day, if your only starting out or not out bush alot using it all, Kings is good for that due to the low price to buy it all and who cares if its used once or twice a year but if your out a lot in all kinds of weather and want to be comfortable, go with a more expensive brand such as crashpad, darche, Ranger etc cause what you may pay now, will pay off in the years to come when it's still in good condition and not in the bin long ago like some products by that cheap brand.
Well said. Buying Kings to me is like testing the waters. You want to try camping but don't want to fork out which is understandable. I have to say, nothing has broken, things are cheaply made but haven't broken. But to have a mattress that doesn't fit the actual swag is not good enough.
There's always drawbacks for going the povo' option, you get what you pay for.
The 23Zero swags are great too, top quality, no sags, no leaks and very comfortable
Thanks for the honest review 👍
Exactly right. To be honest at the time, I had been disappointed with that specific swag. I should have clarified that Ryan still has his Kings single deluxe and does not have the same issues as what I have had.
I have always wanted to try the 23zero swags and almost bought one before the Crashpad.
Love both of my 23zero swags, the Dual 900 and Bandit 1400.
I cant see why why you'd get thumbs down or haters for and honest opinion. I love my kings swag but mine a big daddy deluxe double. Also sags at the sides but I use ocky straps to tension. Cheers Steve
Thanks Steve, I was asked about the swag and I'm not going to lie about something. I actually liked my kings escape swags, the mattress was crap but the rest of the swag was awesome.
I also have the big daddy deluxe and what I found is if you cut down two pool noodles and connect them in the middle it stops the sag also but each too there own 🤙🏻
Thats a awesome idea. Especially for the big daddy, I have had mine for 5 years now and only reason I changed is the sagging and the mattress.
Slept in my Kings escape swag last night and was really keen to see this review, came home and it’s uploaded! Those side walls sagging really puts me off, dam the crashpad is expensive though! I also jam my fingers in the kings stretcher all the time!
Yeah I have said to my son he doesn't have to use it. He swaps In between the escape and the deluxe.
Had the same thing with the Deluxe single, my dad purchased one for himself for general/non regular use. Used it for the first time and walls were caving in and even worse with dew fall on them. We ended up getting a refund on it and we both have crashpad's now.
Update on my crashpad, be careful with the poles in the cold. I have had both my side poles break on me this Long weekend just passed, one while setting up and the other at 5am while I was sleeping.
With the mattress that happened to my brother pull the mattress out and have you and and another person 1 at each end and pull the mattress and it stretches it worked for his mattress in his dune 4wd swag I don’t know about the kings swag though
In the end, I gave it to my son and he uses it with the kings stretcher. Latest video you can see him using it.
With every swag you can pick some bad points, no swag is perfect. A couple of companies have come close.
Boy you fella amaze me you all complain about the kings swags for some reason and then say how good this other brand is but when you compare prices it Dam well should be
Maybe I should do a updated video to this one. I did mention things that did cause issues, simple modifications could fix it but I was able to upgrade. We actually still use this swag, my son has been using it for a few years now and loves it. Yes the price of a Crashpad is more, other brands are insanely priced for features. But I cannot say I have not been without issues with my Crashpad, I have snapped both poles during camping, waking at 3am in the middle of winter because the side poles snap for no reason isnt the best, I have had it leak during a massive storm where the Kings stayed dry.
Very informative thanks Dave. I'm only 5ft 6 so you're not a short arse mate I am. You're bloody long compared to me
Hahaha im average height then. I didn't know how to explain things, I mean I own Kings products. I also own more expensive brands, but that is by choice and saving my arse.
My Kings XL Single swag lasted a week and a half before the hoop hook attachment points all frayed and fell apart. Also the sides of the swag collapse leaving bugger all room inside. Absolute garbage. Now have a Burke and Wills Grampians👍👍
Yeah my first king double swag did that and the eyelets fell out the first trip.
i'm thinking of the arb swag right now... do you think any would be better?
To be honest I have no idea what the ARB swags are like. I have seen many videos in regards to them. Personally I would not buy a ARB swag due to many other companies offer similar or better quality without the ARB price tag.
@@DestinationOffroad my dad has the arb price tag and ive seen some come close but only the rainger better but the rainger is more expensive soim leaning towards the arb
Does the ARB Swag come with a carry bag? and double check the size of the mattress as well.
@@DestinationOffroad mattress is 70mm and the mattress fits snug but it does not come with the carry bag but it rolls up and it has handles and clips
@@DestinationOffroad i’m really looking at the rainger and the arb ( i have the money) the rainger has better interior but the arb has better ventilation and materials
After watching your video I decided to purchase a Kings Deluxe Single Swag. Useful as a motorcycle swag. After reading your video description I decided to read through the comments. not only is there a warning in the description but there is also admission in the video that people will not share your opinion. That alone is okay. Seeing you engage with your audience negatively after the fact shows you are pinking a fight and you brought it on yourself. I actually liked the video. Don't be Karen
Hi there, I re-read the comments and replies that I have said over a year, and I do not feel I was negative with my replies. Yes I have admitted at the time I was not happy with a few things, but we still use the swag, as I state. I never engage with a audience in a negative way, I believe some of the comments are valid. Comparing the Kings to a more expensive brand is always going to bring constructive criticism and I will always respect that.
Thankyou for liking the video.
I bought the Kings single swag....it got delivered...........and then I watched this video a few days later. 200 bucks down the fucking drain.
It is a good swag for the money, The 50mm mattress isnt the best but it does the job. One thing I can say, is it was never seasoned the first time I used it and it was soaked. It didnt leak on me, but the canvas was wet. Never had a drop on the mattress or myself.
What stretcher did you sit your swag ontop off ?
The Crashpad swag is sitting on the Crashpad stretcher as they are the perfect match together.
I was supposed to bring the Kings stretcher as well but I did not want to loading up to much gear and weight.
Your comparing swags that are almost $300 difference in price. 🤦🏻♂️ pretty obvious which one would be better quality. 🤷🏻
Yes indeed $239 dollar difference between the two. But as I continue to say, "Nothing wrong with Kings products for the money". We still use this Kings swag and the Crashpad, we also have many more Kings products. BUT, the price doesn't dictate the quality, I rate some Kings products over other brands easily.
Why not put a bloody dress on!! 🤔
Maybe because you have them all. Dresses that is.
Usually I would just report as abuse but I am happy to give you your two seconds of hardness.
Since this video I have learnt to consume my bag of concrete and harden up.
Cheers for the comment big boy.
