Looking for a light foldble bed for trekking

[dankowen]

Hi all!
I'm new to he forum, looks like a good place to ask for advice
I'm trying to find a good bed for sleeping during backpacking trips. Obviously it needs to be light and foldable. Something like one of these:

http://www.tjhughes.co.uk/lightweig...2_1375682673_84dd843e2e4777aeea6d7e077f1805f7

BUT: I'm looking for a bed which is 0.5 meters in height while it is deployed... I was not able to find one.
I need at least that high because I want to backpack in places which are close to breeding sites of a certain sand fly which can cause nasty scars if it bites(it transfers Leishmaniasis). It is mainly active during the night and can "jump" up to 0.5 meters.

here's some info about that fly:

If anyone knows of a good online store where I can find a good light bed like that I'll be really thankful!!

Thanks ahead

I'm not sure about finding a bed that high that is going to be light enough for backpacking ..... or backpacking comfortably that is.

I have one of these and LOVE it! Its a game changer for me. Maybe combine this with a bivy sack to keep the flies off?

Ditto Montana Cruiser link about the only one light enough to pack with
pair it up with something like a nemo pad and you would be sleeping really nice
