Teton Outfitter Camping Cot, Heavy-Duty Oversized Folding Cot for Adults, Comfortable Elevated Sleeping Bed, Easy Setup

I prefer to primitive camp and I typically camp wherever I am when it starts getting dark. For 16 years I lived in Utah and camped in the back of my pickup, an average of two nights a week for all those years, on an air mattress and a tarp over a PVC frame over the bed of my truck. I've camped comfortably in all kinds of weather with that setup. The air mattresses seem to start leaking air after about two or three uses and that was always a problem. I'm in Florida now and since it is winter, the perfect time to camp in Florida, I have been camping out again. Instead of an air mattress, I tried using two layers of 2" memory foam but I still feel the steel bed of my pickup and It is very uncomfortable. I decided to look for a cot and I found Teton Sports Outfitter XXL camping cot. I'm a big guy and this looked perfect. The price looked a little bit high but not out of reason. I ordered the cot and when I set it up, I was amazed at just how big it is! I'm 6'3" tall and 300+ pounds. The cot is 40" wide and sits 19" above the ground. It is long enough that my head and my feet don't hang off either end. It fits in the bed of my Ford F-150 with the tailgate down with about 6 or 8 inches to spare. It fills up most of the bed of my truck but does give me some room on the side to get in and out of the cot. I am always armed when I camp which I think, and hope, most people are. Some people were running their dogs about midnight, probably hunting deer and I heard some gunshots in the Ocala National Forest after I had gone to bed so I laid my AR-15 on one side of the cot and still had plenty of room to get a good night's sleep. I've had back problems for almost 40 years and I don't sleep well anywhere but I got a pretty good night's sleep on the cot and I think it would be very comfortable for most big people. I bought a 3" memory foam topper with a zippered cover for a twin XXL bed and it fit the cot perfectly. What did I not like about the Teton Sports Outfitter XXL Camping Cot? This morning when I got ready to fold the cot up, the top and bottom rails have plastic end caps. Two of those caps had come out. I found one and popped it back in but was unable to locate the second end cap, even in the white sand that surrounded my pickup at my camping spot. I contacted Teton Sports by email and I left a phone message. We'll see how they respond but if their response is anything like the quality of this cot, I'm sure they'll get a new plastic end cap to me in the mail soon. The only other thing that I had difficulty with was putting the cot into the bag that it comes equipped with. The bag is a great idea since I carry the cot in the back of my pickup over the highway and very rough four wheel drive roads to get my camping spots. If the bag was one inch longer, it would sure make inserting the cot much easier. The small red lever that helps get the top rail in place is a nifty little addition. Overall, this is a GREAT cot and worth every penny I spent on it and I highly recommend it. I will be spending lots of time camping on it and I'm sure this cot will outlive me. I will purchase the rifle sleeve and accessories sleeve that fit on each side of the cot. We will also be using the cot for our three year old grandson when he is sleeping over. GREAT JOB TETON SPORTS!!!

Excellent Cot....Very well made. Sturdy...no wobbling. The Patended Pivot arm makes set up super easy. ( Do follow the instructions on the sequence...very simple...only need to read it once and you've got it. ) Wonderfully comfortable and roomy. I throw my arms around alot when I sleep and I have plenty of room to roll around on this thing. Love it. For car camping or quest bed. Not for backpacking or carrying long distances. I use a double wide, 51 inch wide Exped Self Inflating mattress on it even though the cot is only a total of 40 inches wide. I wasn't sure it would work like this but it's just right. The overage keeps the side rails covered and comfortable for getting in and out of the cot. It is still very comfortable without a pad but with a pad it is lux. This cot is worth every penny if you want to be very comfortable camping and you have the room.

Without getting into the details of why, I bought this Keton cot as a bed to sleep on every night in a 16' X 12' Cabin (with heat and air conditioning). I purchased the largest cot, since I am 6' 2" and weigh 240 lbs. Without exaggeration, I can truthfully say that this cot is the most comfortable thing that I have ever slept on in my life. Even the mattresses that I have purchased for my bed in the past or air mattresses that I have gotten for camping, were not as comfortable. I have always liked a firm, but not too firm of a mattress. This cot satisfied that for me. I did not purchase the Teton mattress, mainly because of complaints about them being too thin. I read one review where the person purchased two of them to get more thickness and comfort. Because of that, I had planned on buying a thicker foam mattress from a store in town, but in the meantime, I had to sleep on it, so I laid two sleeping bags on top of each other and laid down on those. I covered myself with a regular blanket. Wow! It was just right for me. The cot is constructed in such a manner that the strong cot material when stretched out by the cot frame is taunt, but it gives just enough stretch from my body weight to make it soft enough for me, while also remaining firm enough. I have slept on it for 3 months now, in cold and hot weather, and I am not lying when I say that I don't even want to get up, because I am so comfortable laying in the thing. As far as the construction of the cot and the room that it affords, I would give it a strong thumbs up. I love the rubber shock absorbers in the leg sections. That was a nice and needed feature. I read some complaints about the plastic caps falling off of the legs and getting lost, so I just used some black Gorilla tape to tape them on. The black color of the tape blends in with the black frame, so it is hardly noticeable, and those caps aren't going anywhere now. I have owned many things in my life that has similar caps that fall off, but they can always be glued, taped or screwed on. It is definitely easy to set up, just mind you fingers that they don't get pinched in the joints of the frame (I learned that the hard way, LOL). My only complaint would be that the end rails stick out past the side rails, and I walk into them with my leg sometimes. I am not sure why they need to extend past the side rails that much. Other that, I am good with it. In regard to the cost of this cot, it is worth every penny. I am well pleased with this purchase and will probably buy another one soon for my wife. All-in-all, I am going to give it a 5-star review. I hope this review helps those looking for a good sturdy cot.

I got this cot as I do a lot of camping and have a bad back that just can't tolerate an air mat or lumpy cold ground. The cot's strengths are that it sturdy, large, offers a lot of support with very little sag even after repeated use, and after you do it once or twice, setup becomes fairly routine. I did not get the optional pillow top. For me a sleeping bag on top of it is fine, though if you want to go that route it would be a good add on. My complaints about it are two fold. First, the molded tube frame is strong enough to support my weight without issue, yes; but is made of thin material. Even the thickened hardened connection points are showing wear after one season from slipping on and off their support points. The main reason for this is that the cot fabric itself is SO drum tight that you have to wiggle the final mounting point on the end rail to get it on and just that light pressure is gouging it up a bit. I don't see this compromising the cot's integrity in any forseeable future, but could create a jagged edge to catch your hand or clothing on. I also don't see why the cot has to be so high off the ground once assembled. The instructions note NOT to sit on the rail (see my point above) but when I am on the cot and swing my legs over the side, my feet don't touch the ground. I'm not a huge guy, but not a short guy either. I'm 5'10" and it is too high for my feet to touch the ground... which makes it hard for me to get in or out without sitting on the frame and sliding off. As a side issue, most tents slope toward a domed top. Even in a large tent the height of this cot means it is almost near the walls at the bed level, when there could be a good foot of clearance on each side if it were lower. Finally, the feet, even with plastic or rubber pads on them, make me nervous. I haven't had them punch through the floor of the tent yet but they left a bad dent in the fabric when on soft soil. Now I carry small pieces of plywood to slide under each foot to distribute the weight more. Great cot, just needs a few tweaks is all.

It is quality, wide , long, and comfortable especially with a pad.

I purchased this cot after seeing numerous others with the same cot. I previously used what I considered a large cot, a Texsport KING KOT with the dimensions of 83 x 35 x 20. While this one is not much larger, the construction is much better. The Texsport cot was plagued by creaking whenever I turned over, moved, or shifted a little. This isn't a major issue except it tends to bother others in the area that are trying to get some sleep while camping. The Teton Sports Outfitter XXL Camping Cot, on the other hand, is rock solid. I used it recently and slept out under the stars surrounded by a large group of younger Boy Scouts. While I still turned over frequently, the only sound you could hear was the rustle of the bedding and the sound of the wind through the tress. Not a single creak or noise from the cot. The extra space didn't seem like a lot in comparison, but in practice it made a notable difference in maneuverability while sleeping. I never once bumped into the rails. The surface was exceedingly comfortable and allowed for a night's sleep equitable to my bed at my house. I recently had surgery which made sleeping difficult, in general, and almost impossible while camping. However, the space afforded by the cot allowed me to position myself in ways that maximized comfort and significantly decreased any pain or soreness. The cot is exceedingly easy to set up. Anyone with prior experience with a cot should be able to set it up in less than a minute. The inclusion of a red pivot arm allows for that always difficult last connection of the end rail to be as easy as the very first connection. The bag that came with mine opened along the long edge and allows for easy removal and replacement for storage. The unit is heavy, but it is expected with the construction and sturdiness that you receive. If there is any negative that can be found with the cot is that it would be nice if the cot came with a couple straps to wrap around the collapsed unit when putting it away. As it currently stands, you have to ensure you have a good grip around the entire unit when putting it away. With a couple straps that wrap around the folded up cot, it would be a simple proposition to pick up and place in the bag. The legs could easily accommodate the addition of a Velcro strap (or preferably 2) riveted to them or they could include two straps with the product. I will likely purchase some cheap lashing straps with adjustable clips to secure the cot when taking it down. It is a small issue and not worthy of reducing the rating. But, it is a suggestion for improvement for an exceptional product that would require minimal cost to the manufacturer and would enhance the experience for the end consumer. It is a very good product and I highly recommend it for those interested in having a premier sleeping experience when camping in close proximity to parking. It is unlikely useful for locations requiring hiking for more than 1/2 mile as the weight would be problematic for some. I also highly recommend the addition of the TETON Sports Outfitter XXL Camping Pad and Quick Tent for use with this product. They combine to make a very pleasant camping experience with fast and easy set-up and tear down allowing you to enjoy the outdoors without spending a large amount of time getting things set up or putting everything away.

This is the most comfortable I have ever been while camping. It’s a nice height and more than wide enough for me. I’m a side-sleeper, with my knees tucked, so I wanted the extra width. Setup is a little clumsy but not nearly as challenging as a small backpacking cot I had and sold due to the challenge of getting it together. A tad heavy but do-able. A great product if you have the car space for hauling it.

I bought this as a temporary bed thinking it would be a few weeks on it then I'd have a good, tested camping cot. Then life took over and 14 months later I was still on it. Buckle up. This is my review. Okay, first let's talk about how sturdy this beast is. It was difficult to put it together at first but the tension between parts pays off. The model with the guide arm was well worth it. I'll be honest, I'm 6'2" and, well, fat. This cot took it all in stride. At first I wondered if this thing could truly handle the weight between the frame and fabric. The frame is as sturdy and unflinching as it was day one. The fabric, well, not so much. By month 4 it started to droop. By month 10 it hung close to the support bar. By 14 I had worn a small hole in the fabric by scraping on the center support X frame, and only then did I give it up. Here's the thing, you're probably not going to spend a year on it, and if you are, you're probably not my size. Check either ofvthose boxes and you'll be fine for many months longer than rhis lasted for me. Still, I rate it highly because I took this thing miles past the occasional use of camping out. By comparison, I "upgraded" to an expensive foam mattress I've grown to hate as it hasn't lasted nearly as long. You WILL need something underneath you on the surface. It's sturdy but thin and not at all insulated. It's a strange sensation being caught off guard by freezing from underneath. I had a blanket folded underneath me but you'll want to start with a pad or at the very least, a sleeping bag. I threw a lot of passive abuse at this thing and can certainly say it was worth the relatively low price for the time I spent on it. It's easy enough to clean with a little peroxide or carpet shampoo (basically just a stretched piece of fabric) and while there were a few minor creaks as the steel settled over the months, It never shifted or threatened to drop me to the floor. So yeah, I recommend it wholeheartedly. Maybe not for lifelong use, but it will see you through weeks of use without any concerns. It's a firm sleep, but easy enough to adjust to with the right bedding and you'll master the initially awkward mount/dismount movement before you know it. Typing this up, I'm starting to miss this thing.

This is a great , well built cot and I would suggest anyone looking for a cot to seriously look at this one. I love its size and easily assembled design. The cot weights a bit and even more comfortable with a comfort lite or pad to act as a cushion. Even on its own its a very comfortable cot. This is a lot nicer then the air mattress I had before.

Perfecto!! He tenido catres plegables SwissArmy, Coleman igual de buenos. El tamaño es muy bueno, pero así se pidió (también está en tamaño estándar). Lo q es extraordinario, es el pivote rojo para facilitar el armado. Después de años batallando al armar el último (4to) enganche, nunca me imagine lo sencillo q es con el pivote rojo q agregaron a la estructura. 👌 No olviden NO sentarse en los largueros del marco entre las patas de los extremos y las centrales. No está diseñado para eso, Y SE PUEDE DOBLAR. En una temporada de cacería vi eso con un catre (no recuerdo la marca). 👍

The cot is sturdy, feels nice and solid when I'm on it and assembles easily. I thought the pivot arm looked like a cheap thing, but surprisingly it works very well. The only downside i can see right now, is that the pouch for the brackets at the head and foot are sewn close in tolerance making the brackets harder to put through/pull out. However, for the price of this thing it should come with a much better storing bag. The bag feels cheap and only has two little Velcro closures, so when you out it away the bag still sits a bit open. The handles are thin and narrow. This should be done differently for sure.

I got this cot a few years ago for Christmas it’s so nice sleeping In the tent off the ground easy to put together! I bought a Second one this year for my boyfriend for Christmas! Excellent product it is a little heavy, but so easy to put together and way better than having to blow up an air mattress. It comes with a carrying case! It’s very firm but I liked the firmness.

La marca es buena tuve la suerte de usar uno de un amigo y decidí comprar uno para mí ... La suerte no fue la misma, mi producto llego sucio y sin calidad como si fuera de segunda mano, haría la devolución sin embargo correr con los gastos adicionales me lo prohibió
