EVER ADVANCED Extra Wide Camping Cot for Adults Oversized XXL Sleeping Cots Folding Cot Bed with Carry Bag

I liked the size of this cot. It is 7 feet long and extra wide with plenty of room for side sleepers. It sits up high off the ground so you don't have to crawl out of it. Suit cases or other gear easily fit under the cot leaving the tent floor clear for walking/standing. It is a bit heavy to carry at 27lbs, but is also sturdy. It took a while to figure out how to set the top bar. The zippered opening is very helpful. To set the top bar: put the bar in place over the connector as much as possible. Then pushed down with firm weight with one hand on the inside of the bar while simultaneously pushing firmly ACROSS with the other hand from the outside. Once I got this down, it was pretty easy. I did have some difficulty getting the top part zipped after both bars were both in place. Upon rolling it over, I discovered that the cot fabric side was actually sewen into the zipper making it too tight to zip. I simply cut out about 2 stitches to free up the zipper a bit, then stitched it by hand back down a little lower so that it does not attach to the zipper anymore. Once the zipper was freed from the cot stitching, it zipped up nicely. This is a comfortable cot that I can now put up easily in 3 minutes. It has the strength of an army cot, but way easier to put up because of the zipper top design. Read more

This cot is amazing! I originally bought this for my husband to use camping. He's a big guy at 6'3" and camping on the ground has never been very comfortable for him. A few weeks before our trip I got Covid and ended up sleeping in the living room on this cot for almost 2 weeks! While being sick is 0/10 - would not recommend, sleeping on the cot was actually amazing. My back hurt way less than the times I'd been in my own bed sick and it's basically like having a twin sized bed. It's also not squeaky at all which I was concerned about since I've slept on other cots that woke me up every time I moved. When we finally made it camping and my husband got to use it he couldn't quit saying "OMG, this cot is so much better. Why didn't we get this a long time ago?!" The only 2 issues I have with it: 1. The weight. It is quite heavy (25lbs if I remember correctly). This is fine for car camping but you definitely won't be hiking in at all with this. 2. This might get easier with more regular use but it is very difficult to get the head and foot bars connected. It takes quite a bit of leverage and at least one skinned knuckle to get it set up. Every time I feel like there's probably something I'm missing but the other reviews here say the same thing so it may just be how this cot is and possibly what makes it so sturdy. Overall I give this cot a 10/10 and am considering buying a second one for myself! Read more

Long story short: 220lb, 6', 66 yo male with bad lower back pain and sciatica. Surgical procedure gone bad. Since the procedure I had been sleeping on floor as mattress too soft and wife would not give it up. At my age it was a pain in the butt to get on and off the floor hence getting this cot for my office. The Good: Very roomy. This is the XL version, very wide and more than long enough. Nice firm sleeping surface but more forgiving that floor. Nice height makes getting into and out of much easier than off and on the floor. Easy to assemble and disassemble. Takes up very little room in the stored position. The Bad: Instructions are not that good, especially with disassembly. It is hard to understand what to do with all that cot material canvass because it Velcro straps have a hard time reaching around it. Frankly, I still have not figured out the best way, However, since I am using this at home and not traveling, I do not have to worry about putting the cot back into the travel bag. Also this is heavy, nearly 30lbs. With a bad back this can be a lot to handle. The Ugly: Assembly disassembly at first is difficult because canvass is tight and not broken in. The 2nd side bar has to be muscled in the first few times then it gets easier. The biggest complaint I have is that it is wobblily. That is vertically wobbly not side to side wobbly. Sometimes when getting in I am afraid it may collapse as it wobbles north to south quite a bit with my size and weight. Once I get settling in it feels secure. Summary: It works, with some setup and take down effort . The only reason this is not 5 stars is because of the wobble. Very happy with my purchase. We will see how long it lasts as I am sleeping on it every night. Read more

I bought to put my Exped Megamat Max15 air mattress atop for when camping and visiting my daughter who has no spare bed available. Gets me up off the floor, and at 63, that means a lot. It is also cheaper and more convenient than a hotel room. I own a military cot, and this cot is similar in design and function, but significantly bigger. It easily accommodates my oversized Exped 15 air mattress in both length and width with room to spare. The construction is heavy duty, and the zipper added at the foot makes setup and takedown a breeze. The military version has no zipper to assist and setup can be difficult when trying to stretch the fabric and connect the second tension bar at the end. I am so impressed that I am going to buy a second cot and air mattress for my wife. I highly recommend this cot! Read more

Super easy to set up. Took less than 5min and I didn’t read even the instructions. Very sturdy. I’m 6’1” and 220 and have so much room to spread out. Some reviews talk about the 2 crossbars you have to attach, but I didn’t have the same issues. I have a 6 person tent with a 10x10’ footprint, so this will fit very well in it. I may get a 2nd for my wife (if she would go camping with me 🤣). Read more
