ICECOCamping Cot for Adults, Folding Cot for Camping, Portable Bed Sleeping Cot, Lightweight Backpacking Cot Strong Support 330 Lbs, Tent, Outdoor, Hiking, Travel, RV, Beach (L-Black)

This seems well made. Takes a couple minutes to put together but then again it takes only about a minute more than blowing up an air mattress. It's super comfortable, almost as good as a firm mattress. I was gonna use an inflatable on top but I don't think I'll need it unless I need more R value to insulate. Just threw a 2mm yoga mat on top and it's plenty, I'm estimating good down to 60 degrees. When camping below that I'll just put the air on top. The size is great for me. I'm 5,9 200lbs and am a side sleeper. At home I sleep with a pillow next to me to place my upper arm on. The advantage of this cot is that the parallel crossbar sits about mid chest level so all I need to do is place a hoodie on the crossbar and that arm is taken care of. I plan to take this backpacking. At 6 pounds it's not too costly on weight considering that it'll double as a camp chair. Anybody who's spent time backpacking or tent camping knows that the ground is not your friend. It can pop your air mattress, suck the heat outta you, put a bump where you don't want it, expose you to critters, or leave you sleeping in a tent through creek in the middle of the night. This cot solves all those problems. I like to hammock camp but California isn't friendly to hammock campers, too many regulations. If I know someone's gonna hassle me for wrapping a strap around a tree then to the cot I go. Now it's just the cot, a tarp, and my sleeping bag and I'm good on anywhere but a steep hill. I don't know about durability yet so I'll revise my rating if it doesn't hold up. The 2 concerns I have are the cot fabric and the ABS cinch lever to attach the cross beams. They coulda made the levers out of aluminum or steel but time will tell. I did a fair bit of research on cots before I decided on this one and so far I'm happy I did.

I did have an issue with the first cot I received. I contacted the maker and they were great. I had an issue with one of the legs and they sent me a brand new cot right away.I use this cot for camping on the ice while ice fishing. I am limited on space and weight of what I can bring with me and this fits the bill.The cot itself is pretty cool. It packs very nicely. I couldn’t believe how small it was when taken apart but yet full size when assembled. I am 5’10” and 265 lbs. and the cot was more than big enough and supported me with no feeling of it failing. It is easy to assemble. It’s light weight when compared to some of the other cots on the market.

Maybe I didn’t read into it well enough but I thought it folded down and stored in a much more compact manor. Its not terribly smaller than my full size cot when stored. I wanted something small to pack into the mountains huntingAs for the cot itself it doesn’t seem bad at all.

What we have here is a good idea, ruined by penny-pinching and the finest chinesium support legs. The cam-lock attachment is a great idea. But when I leaned over and put my hand on the fabric, and put some weight on it as I started lifting my leg, the cot leg buckled and folded under. I almost lost my balance as the fabric went limp and my hand hit the floor beneath.Crazy. I weighed 247 this morning, well under the stated weight rating. I assembled it correctly. I saw reviews that panned this cot, but the photos show it wasn’t assembled correctly. Mine was. The leg, support, upright? Anyway, it’s too thin-walled for the torsional forces it’s under. It is steel, but very mild steel. And thin. The cam locks put it under tension, and laying on it actually puts more tension on the supports, to resist sagging. Like I said, good idea. They just skimped on the wall thickness.My return is already in process. I’ll wait ‘til the NatureHike cot is back in stock.

I bought this for a backpacking trip in red rock territory. I had the cot tied to the bottom of my pack frame and was scrambling up and down smooth sandstone, sometimes needed to scoot on my butt due to the elevations that needed to be traversed. After my first night, I saw the bag was already showing small holes in it. By the second day, the holes were bigger. By the third, the zipper physically broke as well. This bag is not able to endure one, 2 night, rigorous backpacking outing. Which sort of defeats the point of using it for backpacking.For the cot itself, it is heavy. It's strong enough it seems for the two nights I slept on it and it is compact. It's weight is an issue when every ounce counts. I do like that it kept me higher off the ground. And it was reasonable for comfort. In hindsight, I think I would have liked an air mattress with it to add extra comfort.I would say this is better when weight isn't an issue, but space is. Like camping out of a car, but the car is small. Maybe using a 4 wheeler to get to your camping site. It wasn't too hard to assemble, but having stronger male hands makes a difference.For reference on the size and comfort, I am a 45 year old, 5'8" male. 165 pounds.

I was skeptical about ordering this specific cot -because there were ZERO reviews on this product and it seemed to be brand new. I was looking for light weight & compact, easy assembly, comfort and warmth.The cot in it's bag weight about 6#. It's super light but confidently sturdy!I advise you watch the assembly video before struggling outdoors w/ no service. It takes a small amount of muscle but VERY easy set up! 3 mins tops!I don't use a pad for warmth or comfort. The first night I was cold w/ no underneath insolation & cot material is very breathable. The second night I layed a wool blanket between my body & cot. Stayed much warmer!I'm 30 and was extra comfy as a side sleeper. I slept on this cot for 6 days and felt hardly any body aches. It could be a little wider as a personal preference! But it checked all my other boxes so it works for me!Would definitely recommend :)
