Coleman Trailhead™ II Camping Cot

I'm getting a little too "old" to be dragging my butt off the cold ground during our fall campouts. This cot seems to work perfect. Lots of people complained about how difficult it was to put together, so I ordered early and strong armed it together to let my boys sleep on it a couple nights and loosen the fabric. Easy set up, easy put away, I'm lovin' it.

I bought this because I had a grandmother visting for a week and find my couch too short for comfortable sleeping and recliners to be an unnatural sleeping position. This cot eliminated the neck pain associated with sleeping on a couch arm so it's a huge improvement if you can't afford or store even a twin size guest bed. It might be a bit firm for some people but you can always pad it if that's your preference. First, let's get it out of the way: this product is ridiculously difficult to assemble for the first use. The canvas stretches incredibly tight and you're quite likely to pinch a finger or two trying to get it to lock into place. However, after 1-2 uses, it'll stretch enough that it's snug but doable without too much difficulty. Once you get it assembled it is a perfectly functional but very firm bed. If you need a softer surface, buy a twin size foam mattress topper and cut it down to size.
