Coleman Pack-Away Cot

Easy to set up, easy to pack, and most importantly, it was super sturdy for me. I prefer to camp in my RV but that's just not always an option. Used this on two campouts with our church youth group this summer and I don't think I'd ever go back to sleeping on the ground. So handy to have a cot in the text - more space, a place to sit and not just crouch or lay down, and it keeps things even for a good night's sleep. I had a foam pad on this (nothing too thick) and found it very comfortable. That extra tray extended seems like a small add-on but actually made for an awesome mini-nightstand to keep the phone, Kindle, and Chapstick handy.

This cot is absolutely fantastic. It was the most comfortable I've ever been while camping.Pros:Extremely comfortable. I was knocked out cold and slept great for five straight days. It does not have that bar in the middle like other cots. It just feels like a narrow bed.Easy to set up. This thing is out of the bag, unfolded, and ready to lay on from start to finish in about 15 seconds. There are no catches or anything to secure, you just need to make sure it's completely unfolded and you're good to go.The attached table is pretty cool. Just be aware if you have a smaller tent or space is otherwise at a premium, you likely won't be able to use it because it sticks out a good foot or so.It's a great substitute for a pull-out bed. I live in an apartment that is prohibitively small, so I can't get a large couch in. Previously, my buddy would crash the night and he'd be contorted on a loveseat. This cot solved that. He also got to use the table I was unable to use while camping. (jealous)Cons:Folding this back up is a little more tricky than opening it. It's easy enough to figure out; just don't rush it the first time or you may have a fun time trying to get it back in the bag. You simply need to fold the outside legs (head and foot) up before folding the center part. You'll see when you do it. Certainly not a deal breaker.Weight. As I said before, this is great for car camping, but unless you're trying to set a record or you're He-Man, this is not to be placed on a backpack. Go climbing a mountain with this thing and you'll have my respect, but you'll also have a sore back for weeks.All-in-all, this was perfect for my uses. If you're a car camper or need a spare bed for the occasional house guest, go with this cot. Backpackers, beware.

This cot is very easy to assemble and comes in a nice carry bag. It’s also sturdy and comfortable. I’m giving it less than five stars because of the misleading product details. It is describes as weighing seven pounds (7 lbs), but it actually weighs about twenty pounds (20 lbs). That’s a significant difference and it’s no small matter when it comes to camping gear. The product details should be changed to more accurately reflect the true weight of the item.

Arrived as described and on time. At 69 years old I was looking for a cot that sat up higher(easier to sit on and get up from) than those compact ones that sit really low and fold up into a small bag which are best for back pack camping, since I am an SUV / tent camper lugging a bigger profile and much heavier cot was not an issue. This was perfect for but yes again it is heavy and extremely sturdy. I like the optional side table that came with it which I was concerned it would fit loosely and sag some but it also is sturdy, it folds up into it`s own storage bag if not using. I am 6`1" and 195 lbs. I had plenty of room to spare lying down at either end. The bonus is that it is extra wide which adds to the comfort as a side sleeper. For my living room test run I added a pad and pillow and slept well. Like other Coleman products that use the pop-up system this also unfolded and refolded with no issues fitting back into bag. For me this is perfect --if you are and RV-er , Car camper or need an extra bed for guests at your home or cabin with space to store it, this is built well and very functional. Good luck MIke

Do not hesitate, buy this portable cot! If you need one that is lol. We stay in hotels alot, and most we start at only have 2 beds, we always end up with a kid(s) sleeping on the floor. I've thought about buying and bringing my own rollaway bed with but who wants to lug something that big around with them. Not I said the fly. I happened to come across this cot when looking for a better option than a rollaway. I debated for awhile whether to buy it, but then decided to just go ahead because we had a hotel stay coming up. When it arrived, the box was really heavy. I opened it to find a long heavy zippered bag with a carrying handle, kind of looks like a tent bag/ Camp chair bag. This thing is soooooo easy to set up. Just pull it out, unfold one leg, then pull down middle support brave, then unfold other leg, push cot Down in the middle and boom it's set up! The side table comes in its own little storage bag and literally just pops onto the side. Yes it's a bit heavy, but to me that's fine because hasn't means solid, sturdy, great quality. We've used it several times already and everyone says is very comfortable. I think this would be perfect for those who need to be off the ground when camping. Highly recommend.
