Coleman Trailhead II Large Folding Cot with Easy Setup & Takedown, Supports Adults up to 6ft 2in or 300lbs, Great for Camping, Lounging, Elevated Sleeping, Guests, & More

Sturdy cot to sleep on and sit on. My back isn't too easily bothered so it's comfortable enough without a topper currently. It's easy to assemble and disassemble (for the last horizontal pole, lift the cot upright with the horizontal pole on the ground, step on the pole, then lift the cot into place/the last hole). It's small enough to fit into most storage places when folded up. I'd say it's fairly similar to the width of your standard folding lawn chair but just longer in length (have to reiterate - fairly similar - take that with a grain of salt). I anticipate this cot will last a long time but for it's price point, I'm satisfied. Downside to this cot is it's on the heavier side and the fabric will stretch with use (both good and bad). Forgot to add, it may require more even ground for more stablility and maximum comfort.

I love this cot. It's reasonably comfortable, sets up fairly easily, and is very strong -- no sagging! That said -- research what you're buying. This is great for camping, especially if you're staying put for more than 1 night. This is NOT a light-weight cot. It is NOT for hiking trips, unless you're setting up a base camp that you're at every night. You do not want to try to haul this thing around. I love it. I knew what I was getting, and this does the job beautifully. I need soft, so I add a thick foam pad to the top. If you like to sleep on a firm surface, you won't need to add anything.

I bought 4 of these. The packaging boxes were a joke. The boxes they came in were so badly torn they were doing absolutely nothing to protect the content inside. I think the only reason they had the box was so they have a place to stick the shipping label. The cots themselves were pretty sturdy. They fold up neatly taking up little space. And they're relatively comfortable to sleep on compared to air mattresses. We've only slepted on them for two nights but so far no tearing issue like others reported, yet. I can see why there are so many reviews complaining about the last crossbar being very difficult to install but it's designed that way so the canvas stays taut. With a bit of elbow grease I managed to put 3 out of the 4 cots together within minutes using the handle end of my hammer to pry it in. The thickness of the hammer handle fits the gap perfectly to pry the crossbar into place. That is, until I got to the 4th and last cot, it was so tight that even the prying technique I've been having success with isn't working so well any longer. I can now see how one of the reviewer managed to break the plastic end cap that the crossbar fits into. I spent more time on this cot than all 3 other cots combined. It was so tight that after I managed to fit it in place, the crossbar is visibly bowing inward due to the extreme force the canvas top was exerting on it. After putting all four cots together, I can now see why this unit is getting mixed reviews. The crossbar design leaves very little room for error and their manufacturing precision isn't all there yet so it really depends on your luck what type of fit your gonna get. If you get an easy one, a 10 year old could probably do it alone, with the right tool and after some practice of course. Don't expect them to be able to but it together with barehand, boy scout or not. If you get one of the really tight ones, even most adults world find it difficult to put together. Coleman should really think about redesigning the crossbar fitting and make it loose enough to put on by hand and have wing nuts at the ends to stretch out the canvas to make it tight. It shouldn't cost much more to produce and would make the assembly so much easier.

We now own three of these Coleman Trailhead II cots, which probably says everything you need to know about how much we like them. I use one and two of our kids use them when we go car camping. They're sturdy, roomy, and very comfortable for sleeping. Once you've set one up a couple of times, assembly and takedown become quick and easy. We appreciate being elevated off the ground. Not only is it more comfortable than sleeping directly on a tent floor, but it also gives peace of mind if the tent gets damp or leaks during a storm. Another big bonus is the storage space underneath. We keep duffel bags, shoes, and other gear under the cots, which helps keep the tent organized and gives us more room inside. These are solid, dependable cots that have held up well for our family, and they've made camping much more enjoyable. We'd absolutely buy them again.

I was initially considering not getting this because of all the reviews saying it's impossible to put together even for two people. I'm a 100lb female and don't have very much muscle because I don't exercise or have a physically demanding job. But it took me about 3 minutes to put together by myself. 20 seconds to read the instructions and 2.8 minutes to put it together. To make it easier for yourself, instead of putting one full bar on, put both on half way. I affixed one side of the bar inside of the hole and put the other side next to the other hole. Then for the second bar I did the opposite side in all the way then the other next to the hole. It doesn't require anything fancy to get in or even very much muscle. It's more precision than muscle. It helps to use your leg to stabilize the cot, one arm to push down on the cot and the other arm to pull the bar out. Doing both together helps move the hole into the button on the cot. Don't rush it or you'll overshoot the hole. Just pull it slowly on the bar, push on the cot, and ease both into each other. To take it apart it's much of the same thing except with more emphasis on pushing the bar out and holding the cot in place. I wanted a nice cot that would be strong enough for my pupper and large enough for us to share, but didn't cost $100 or folded a million different ways. It's wide enough to share even though she likes to lay diagonally. She's able to sit and be nosy, stand up and say hi to the neighbors, and lay down to sleep or chew on her toy. It feels sturdy even with both of us on it. I like super soft things so as far as comfort without a cushion, it's hard and not squishy enough for me. I plan on getting a specific cushion for it anyway since I don't want her claws to destroy it. If you like softer this is definitely not good for you without a cushion. Leaving it in direct sunlight will make it feel like a blacktop. I also like to have a lot of extra room. I'm 5'7 and I fit inside of the two end bars. So my head and my feet don't sit on top of the bumps at the ends which is nice. I just received it an hour ago so I can't speak to longevity but so far I'm very impressed for the price. I didn't expect to find anything that would be a good fit for my needs. I don't plan on going camping with this. It's basically just for my dog to not have to lay on the floor on our balcony and so that I can join her occasionally. It is pretty heavy and doesn't seem worth it to carry around for camp. It does feel like it's built like a tank. Even the carrying case was nice quality. This cot seems better as backyard/patio furniture or a pop-up bed for guests to not sleep on the floor, but I might be biased since that's what I intended for it. If you have a car and don't plan on carrying your campsite far this will do just fine.

For those who like sleeping on a cot, this is a great option. It feels sturdy, is good quality, and is easy to assemble. It is way easier to set up than the classic military-style cots, which is a huge plus. It gives you a solid sleeping surface without being overly complicated to put together. Overall, it is a reliable cot and a good choice for camping or extra sleeping space.

Good cot overall. Little funny to get the hang of, but not enough where I would dock it any points. Definitely easy to set up once you get the hang of it. I would say it’s well worth the money. I’ve used it a ton. I’m 6’2 and I fit on it. Definitely folds up very compact. Then after the first couple sleeps the material kind of stretches out and I actually enjoy to sleep on it.

I have used this product for 1 year now. Pros: -good in a pinch if you need something to sleep on other than the floor or a sofa -good but not great for a short term sleeping arrangement -folds away easily Cons: - a bit heavy - a bit tricky to setup (there is a youtube video for a trick to stretch the fabric long enough so that you can install a support bar). Otherwise you have to muscle the support bar into place. -over time, the fabric sags in the middle and is a little uncomfortable. Had to buy a mattress topper to remedy the sag and provide cushioning. You can sleep on this cot without a mattress topper but it is not that comfortable. Overall: meh. There may be better alternatives. It is okay for an extra bed that can be stored in an upright bag and put into the closet.

Amazing camping cot which is very useful to have when out on camping trips. Due to the tension in the material, first time set up is a bit tricky when trying to get final pole in - very very tight fitting. But once in, it is very comfortable to lie on. Easy to disassemble.

Fits 2 in my super compact tent. Soo confortable and we were able to sleep at -5 degrees and we were comfy. Great for organizing the tent and allowing for storage underneath. A bit hard to install the first 2-4 times then the fabric loosens up a bit and installation becomes easier. (Install short ends first and then pull and leverage with the long ends until you can fit the pin)

用途 ・単身赴任先のアパートでベッドとして使用 （転勤が多いので家具は捨てられる物を選択） 僕のスペック ・身長180cm ・体重95kg レビュー ・スチールで丈夫 ・布地がヘタリにくい。 ・広い、寝返りできる。 ・冬は寒い（寒い時期は敷き布団で対応可能） ・ギシギシと音がしない ・組立しにくい（但し、これはギシギシしない、ヘタリにくいに寄与している） キャンプ用コットとしては「組み立てにくい」「重い」ってのはマイナスだとは思いますが、 これ丈夫さとのトレードオフだと思いますので、文句を言うのは筋違いかと……。 毎日、家で使用してもヘタらないのでキャンプ用とだと非常に長く使えそうです。

The product is really handy and is really very sturdy, however the only negative for me is that it takes good effort to get assembled. If you are using this once in a while as a campus equipment, then it is good but if you are looking to replace the ugly folding cots that you get in India then it is not really a great replacement

This cot has steel frame side bar and it’s sturdy compared to other cots with aluminium frame which might bend after few usages . Initially it’s hard to fit the bars at first time and after couple of nights it’s better than the first attempt as the canvas stretches a bit . Of course it might need a mattress for good night sleep but for this price its really worth for $$ . Could improve the stitching a little better but so far it’s holding good . Perfect for camping in 4/6 person tents . Worth to buy for long lasting Coleman military cots . Would buy it again . Pros : best value for money , sturdy cot with steel frames compared to other military cots ( Alluminium frames ) . Future Improvements needed : Better stitching , pivot arms to place bars , wheeled storage bag , Overall it’s a better cot compared to others in the market and hope it’s definitely last long for multiple nights . Would buy it again . Best bang for the buck !!!! .
