Man walks six miles to bring his entire double bed to Glastonbury Festival - but says it's "worth it"

One Glastonbury fan has made sure he has a very comfortable stay at this year's festival by bringing along his entire double bed to sleep in. Taking to Twitter, the festival-goer, The Grumpy Jedi, shared a look inside his tent after successfully setting up quite a luxurious sleeping arrangement.

However, it wasn't without plenty of effort. The camper claims it took several trips to and from his car and walking six miles to achieve the desired accommodation - but stresses it was "worth it".

Alongside the picture of his bed inside a tent, he wrote: "Five trips from car to campsite, six miles walked in the blazing sun. But omg it was worth it!!"

In the photo, a double bed, complete with a wooden bed stand, pillows, duvet and matching cushions, can be seen in the middle of a large blue tent. At the foot of the bed, crates of beer are stacked on top of each other, with cocktails placed on the edge of the bed stand - perhaps intended for a celebratory drink for all the hard work.

Since sharing his camp site on social media earlier this week when this year's Glastonbury Festival began, his post has been viewed more than 1.8million times. Thousands of people have liked the snapshot, with hundreds commenting their reaction.

Ken_Higman_Food replied: "If that’s true, then that is I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E. Please remember to take it all home and #leavenotrace." The Grumpy Jedi himself wrote back to say: "Dude, it's my bed, if I don't take it home I'm sleeping on the floor!"

In response to one Twitter user, Bettabells, who jokingly said: "Need more evidence," the camper hit back by sharing an additional image of his set-up from further away. Thestaresnest added: "No beer fridge tho," to which the festival-goer replied: "Next year maybe."

ChloephillipsNW put: "What a setup! The cocktails on the end of the bed are a great touch!" Geordieseoul said: "Love this!!! I wouldn’t fancy having to take it down on Monday though! Have a great glasto!!"

Canarytom79 echoed: "Wow, fantastic effort. Don't envy you on the pack up Monday up the hill to the car park." Xkatie asked: "Omg I have so many questions. Did u bring flat packs and assemble this?"
