I’ve spent 6 nights on it and it’s comfortable and sturdy. I’m 6′, 260# and my butt does not touch the ground. It assembles/disassembles in less than 5 min and fits in the bag it came in (which most camping stuff does not). My only knock on it is that the material is kinda slick so if you’re on an incline at all, you’re going to slide a little. I went with it as a compromise between weight, rated capacity and price. I’m happy with hit. It’s better than sleeping on a glorified pool float.
It was comfortable and set up quickly I bought this cot for my husband. We took it cot out camping twice last summer. It was comfortable and set up quickly. The reason for my two star rating is that the second time we took it out, one of the clips on the cross bars broke. With only 4 cross bars to support support him, the cot is useless. For the amount of money we paid, we expected a high quality product.
Nice added camping comfort. I use this cot for backroad motorcycle camping. It just light enough and packs down small enough to go in the dry bag with the sleeping bag. I can set it up in about 10 minutes from the time I take it out of the dry bag to fully assembled. I use a two man tent. I recommend assembling the cot outside the tent then putting it in. It is a little big to flip over. I put down my tent pad, assemble the cot on the pad then setup the tent. It has added extra comfort to camping and as a bonus…
