There are a lot of picky reviews on cots so let me start by saying, this is a cot. It’s not a padded cot but rather a frame with canvas. So when I give it 5 stars it’s not because it’s as comfortable as a bed mattress...come on folks. Stay at home if that what you want.
On with the review, as with any non insulated cot I used a sleeping pad. My pad is the same pad I hike with, a BA Qcore SLX with a fairly high R value (keeps you warm in snow). I would say with any canvas cot that if you want it to be “perfect” then you need your preference sleeping pad. That being said, I slept like a baby. The pad on the ground isn’t terrible which is why I bought it. But on the cot with a bit of air let out I seriously was quite comfortable. And warm. The cot is not overly stiff as was my buddy’s that came along (his was the generic cot sold on Amazon as well). With the combined give of the canvas and the nice pad I really had a great nights sleep.
As people have said the legs don’t lock in. The pressure of your weight keeps everything in place. This was never a worry as it is quite sturdy. Where you encounter any leg issues is if you start moving/relocating the cot around. The cot basically starts to fold up like you are putting it away. I did not find this to be an issue after I did it once. And there is no worry when on it.
It sets up very easy and equally easy closes up for rebagging. It is heavy, so for the odd person who thinks this is a hike-in cot it isn’t. But it wasn’t intended to be. It’s for car camping. I also like that it easily goes into the storage bag. Hate bags that “just fit” and it’s a struggle to get back in. This one is easy. Lastly the little add on table is nice. I didn’t really use mine sine my tent has pockets in each corner that were right where they needed to be in relation to the height it’ll of the cot (bonus), but I could see it being useful. Frankly I could care less about the table though so I won’t really say anything here other than it attaches firmly and seemed as though it would be useful.
