should i buy Coleman Bunkhouse Deluxe II Folding reviews

Convenient, portable, and generously-sized, the Coleman Bunkhouse Deluxe II Folding Cot comfortably sleeps one person up to 6-Inch8-Inch tall, and supports up to 275 pounds. Measuring 30-Inch wide by 80-Inch long and 15-Inch high when unfolded, the Bunkhouse Deluxe II features spring construction and a foam mattress for a comfortable night-Inchs sleep. The lightweight bi-fold frame is easy to pack, transport and store, constructed of rust-resistant steel. When unfolded, the bed has plenty of room underneath for storing gear. We purchased this more expensive cot to accomodate my wife for camping trips, because she really hates sleeping on an air mattress, and she found our other camp cot too hard. This cot is indeed much more comfortable than a standard camp cot. The mattress has plenty of cushion, and most importantly, is not attached to the cot frame, so you can lie down on it as you would a normal bed. Our other standard camp cot's "mattress" is simply fabric stretched over the cot frame, so you really just end up with a piece of fabric stretched between and over the cot frame. This stretching makes the fabric very rigid, which translates into being a pretty hard surface when you sleep on it. In addition, the stretching of the fabric between the cot frames also creates a curve that "cocoons" you in between the frames, which can make you feel a bit restricted and smothered while sleeping. None of these factors are present in the Bunkhouse Deluxe since the mattress is completely separate and detachable from the cot frame. The frame folds in half, and the Bunkhouse mattress is stored under the frame, between the cot leg. This leads to the one drawback of the Bunkhouse deluxe. When folded for storage or travel, the cot still takes up quite a bit of space. A standard camp cot will typically break down, fold up, and turn into a cylinder that fits into a bag, similar to a tent bag. The Bunkhouse only folds in half - so when you look at the product picture, mentally picture the entire cot folded in half, with the metal legs folded flush against the bottom underside of the cot. If you have the room to easily store it for your trip, great, but if you have limited storage space, keep this increased bulk in mind.

Other than the storage concern, however, this cot is worth the price for a comfortable night's sleep. It will easily also serve as temporary sleeping arrangements for sleep-overs or relatives staying for a few days.Bed sets up simply in under 30 seconds. It is sturdy enough, squeak-free, attractive enough, and very comfortable. It seems to be the only cot that has springs all along the edge where the fabric bed attaches to the metal frame. This seems to allow more "give" compared to all the others where the fabric attaches directly to frame (and you have to allow for stretch in fabric itself to allow "give", which in my mind would lead to more sagging over time). I think the springs are the key to the comfort of this bed. It still leans more towards the "firm" side, but I expect that would soften over a few more uses through inevitable stretching of fabric.

I am 6'2" 185 lbs. I fit beautifully lengthwise, and width is adequate. Both my elbows are on the metal rails when I lay on my back, but it is not uncomfortable. Sleeping on my side it is a dream bed, better than my real bed in bedroom so far.

It folds up in 30 seconds too, and packs very flat (could fit two of them in a closet easily) unlike some of the other heavy, bulkier models. This one is clearly a lightweight model, but it seems like it would last for at least 50 uses. Salesman in a store told me the springs broke for one customer, but they look adequate to me.

I do not really trust the "Coleman" name anymore, but this product seems pretty foolproof with no obvious design deficiencies. After using it a few times, I am going to buy a second one right now.

Very nice cot and more comfortable than air mattress. The cheaper cots are more stiff since they are attached directly to the frame. This has springs holding the canvas to the frame. It's more comfortable than it looks.

Make sure you keep the bag it came wrapped in so you can store it without it getting dusty. I taped it back up. It's very light and stores easily. It also fit in the trunk of my Honda Accord Coupe.

The cot arrived in a torn up box and it looks cheap. It did the job as an extra sleeping space, but did not last too long. The cot folds from the outside, so there is nowhere to put the matress. If you put the mattress in the middle, the cot doesn't tie closed. The springs are very flimsy. Not good for adult use, maybe will do for a young child. I will definately go to a sports/outdoor to shop for one next time I need oneWe bought this because we camp a lot and this summer I was in my final trimester of our second child and was not feeling sleeping on a air mattress - also my husband has a bad back so we knew it would get good use over the next couple years.
Not only did it sleep me well over the summer but came in handy when my mom came to stay for a week when we had our baby.
Its still a cot but of all the cots and air mattresses I have slept on in the last 15 years it does a great job. Its long enough for someone over 6' 3" and wide enough for a bigger girl (me).
It was defiantly worth the price and we will be getting another. I purchased 2 cots for a camping. We have been camping for 35 years. I have used air matresses, foam pads, and every type of camping bed available in the past, and have fianlly foudn a camp bed that is as comfortable as my own bed. We stayed in them for 4 consecutive nights in the Catskills, and my back did not hurt at all (I have herniated discs and arthritis!) They are not really compact, but we have ample storage space for them and travel in a Chevy truck, so that is not an issue. I would highly recomment these cots for anyone looking for a good nights sleep in temporary bedding. This cot is so comfortable. I have been sleeping on a blow-up mattress on the floor of the tent when camping. It was so miserable trying to get up that I had no desire to camp any more. Now with the cot (went camping last weekend) I had room to put my belongs under the cot and getting up is so easy. Also, it is going to double as a bed for one of the grand children when I need an additional bed. I highly recommend this cot. My granddaughter who was sleeping in another tent came in my tent, lay down on my cot and said "I'm jealous", I want this bed, it is so comfortable."Bought this cot for camping, but it is very sturdy and works very well for surprise guests pf an extra bed when camping. It supported my 6'2" son at 200 pounds with no problems. Pretty darn comfortable for a cot; very little noise with motion and no support bars prodding your back. Great Coleman product.I had bought the slightly smaller (cheaper) version of this Coleman cot from my local walmart but the length was to short. It was only under by a few inches for me (6ft tall) but to me, it was uncomfortable, so I returned it. I looked all around the stores here in town and couldnt find the Coleman Bunkhouse Deluxe 2 version of the cot, but found it on Amazon. I got the cot on time and it was double wrapped with plastic wrap and arrived in perfect shape. The use of a plastic mesh like material with small springs attached all around the edges is a perfect match. When you sit on it and then lay on it, it gives just a bit and is bouncy, like a bedspring mattress. The foam topper is in a waterproof cover and gives just enough cushion. it folds up quickly and can be stored away easily. The leg legs that flip out when you have it open are sturdy and you never feel like its going to suddenly close up and make you fall flat on the ground. Perfect for a camping trip or just when you need a quick bed for guests.
