is for a extra bed in my RV when overnight guests come. I needed something easy to set up and take
down and wide enough for comfort for my guest as well as fold up and store away in a small area.
Some cots that I had looked at, appeared to be very hard to set up and needed alot of manual
strength to stretch the fabric and legs out. So after watching a video on this one,
I decided to give the Easy Cot a try.
I received the cot and the fabric,frame and carring bag all are of good quality and construction.
The width was important as I felt the 24-26 inch wide cots would not be comfortable for guests and
with this one being 32 inches wide, it appears to be be the perfect width for comfort as well as to
what would fit in the space allocated for it in my RV.
The set up was exactly as stated...EASY!
I was a little worried at first as their is no locking mechanism for the legs, but I laid on the cot
and turned over several times and sat on the side of it.
It did not show any signs of trying to unfold as I feared it might. The way the frame is built, it
gives great support in all areas that are needed. I am putting eggcrate foam on it for additional
comfort for my guests, so I cannot comment on the overall comfyness of it without the foam. I did
lay on it for a few hours watching TV, just to see how the comfort level was and it appears that it
will do well in that area. The length is great as well. I am 5.9 and there was plenty of room.
After my comfort test I just laid the cot on its side and it quickly and easily folded up, it less than
60 seconds. The storage bag is well made and the cot slipped into it easily.
So I believe that I did recieve the product that will work well for me and my situation.
I would have given it 5 stars, but I still believe that it should have some type of locking
system for the legs. Again, I had no problems, but just feel that would give added mental
comfort that it would not fold up in the middle of the night.
Great product and would recommende it for ease of use and quality construction.
Great for seniors with ease of use as well. We ordered 2 Byers of Maine Easy Cots. They came in their original boxes. We did not open them right away figuring they should be fine. When we went camping one of them had a large tear in the fabric. We could sleep on it, but it was pretty disappointing to know we would have to go through the hassle of having to return it.They are much lighter than our previous Cabela's cots and open up super easily, even my 8 yr old daughter can physically manage it. It will make our campsite set up MUCH quicker. They seem very sturdy too. We tried them out in the house. So far we are satisfied.I find the easy to set up cot a little difficult, maybe it is just me. It is heavy but very comfortable, doesn't fall down so maybe heavy is good. It is great to be up off the ground when camping. I'm really enjoying the cot. I have always used blow up mattresses camping. The air within the mattress seemed to get colder as the years went by. I finally bought this cot. My son purchased it a few months ago and loved it. It afforded me the best three night sleep I've ever had camping. It is wide and long. I'm 5'8" and my son is 6'2". Plenty of room to roll over too. I just think this cot is superb in comfort and structure. Thank you Since we will use this cot on our boat for extra sleeping space, the weight was of no concern. Ease of set-up as well as its compactness when disassembled is what we were looking for. And oh my, this fit the bill. With a little extra padding, even my old creaky bones were comfortable. Grandkids should have no problem. In my line of work, every once in a while I need to pull an all-nighter and stay at the office. I bought this cot to keep at work and have used it to get a few hours sleep on those nights; it works great and is very comfortable.
The cot folds up into a fairly small size, convenient enough to keep under my desk; it also comes with a nylon bag which is good.
Opening up this cot is foolproof simple, and you can have it opened and setup in 30 seconds once you take it out of the bag. It's pretty much just as quick to fold it back up and put it back in the bag.
It's also comfortable - more so than I thought it would be. I had never slept on a cot before, so I don't know how it compares with other cots, but I slept just fine (and with my finicky back, that's saying something). We bought this for my 6'2" 300+lb husband and he's used it for 2 camping trips so far without any complaints! It's a really nice, large, sturdy cot - I will upgrade mine to this one next time we're shopping for them! It's pretty heavy, but I would expect that from a heavy duty cot. The frame and fabric are very sturdy when set up, even on uneven ground. I recommend this cot to anyone, especially if you're a "bigger-than-average" person! :) I purchased this foldable cot for my son's Boy Scout summer camp. It is well made , folds out and back very easily, and can handle something like a 250 lb adult. It comes in a nice zippered carrying case with a shoulder strap.
The price for all of this stability and comfort is this: Weight. I have not weighed this cot yet, but seriously, this cot has to weigh over 40 lbs.
Conclusion: If you are a big guy, this a good foldable cot. If you weigh 112 lbs, you may be best served with a lighter folding version, as this cot, while having a nice carrying bag with a shoulder strap, can get heavy pretty quickly on a long walk from the car to the campsite.
If you are just using it at home, you are good to go
