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

Before going into detail, you should know that this is bulkier and heavier than anything you'd want to actually carry for backpacking. I mean you could, but there are lighter options out there. BUT if you don't have to lug it around on your back very far, it's great! Rock-solid for me, a 220 lb. gal, totally quiet when you shift, and easy to put together. The braces at the head and foot are hard to snap in place if you are just pulling with your arms, but if you sit on the cot it's easy to position them so the holes align with the little posts on the frame. I'm using this to sleep on in my new house until the bed I ordered arrives, with an Exped mat and a memory foam pad on top - which is very comfy, but I can't tell you how comfortable it would be without them though I imagine it would be as much as any canvas-on-frame cot. Since this is a bit oversized, it fits the mat and pads very well. Perfect as a temporary bed to keep stored in your garage or for camping with a vehicle!

The Coleman Trailhead II cot comes with the main cot assembly, two tubes used to secure the end of the cot webbing to the end of the cot frame, plus a storage bag. This product is HEAVY - the frame consists of square steel tubing and steel hinges, and the fabric is heavy weight. Assembly is a little confusing the first couple of times. Some people in the product reviews complained about it being difficult to get the cot's end tubes installed. It is a bit of challenge, but the trick is to slide the canvas on the side tubes up toward the tube you are installing to reduce the tension, so it is easier to install. Once the cot is set up, it is very stable and sturdy. Some people may find the need to put a pad on the cot to make it more comfortable, especially if you have back issues. However, size wise, the cot is wider than most I have seen on the market and it will accommodate those up to 6'2" tall. All in all, this is a quality product that should last a long time. When not in use, the cot folds up and can be stored in the provided storage bag. The bag has a tag in it with set

After developing some back problems- I needed a cot that will enable me to sleep in (relative) comfort while camping. there are many cots on the market, some good and some bad- but what i needed was a WIDE cot and one that will be comfy- not too tight and not too soft. The coleman is just that. It is very wide and It is very easy to open. if you will also get a large sleeping pad - you got yourself a decent bed. CONS: *heavy. this is no lightweight. takes some space if you don't own a pickup. Its weight and size are an issue in my jeep. *Not easy to install. I have read about the pole placement issue. and I have seen the videos. and the truth is somewhere in between.... It does not require brute force to assemble- however it does take a fairly large amount of force. some say you need to place your foot on the poles. It works- but then its hard to place the specific anchor point into the small hole cause well....my foot is not a hand. But this is no deal breaker - you just have to know that this will take some time. PROS: * Will fit inside a coleman 4 person quick pitch tent * you can sit up on the bed and use it almost like a chair * COMFY. how cool is it to be away from home and still sleep in a bed * WIDE: this is important. many Cots are not wide- or the manufacturer calculates the poles in the general width. this is as wide as coleman says. It is also long. STURDY: unlike some knockoffs this is a quality product. this will last.

Bought this for camping, but first use was for an extra bed at hotel. Hotel no longer offers roll away options. We took this in to have more room since the beds were only a double. Worked great! Sturdy and comfortable. Easy to set up and take down. Too heavy for backpacking, as others said, but easy enough to carry to hotel room. Will be buying more for camping.

We use these cots for a homeless shelter and they are great quality and durable. We power wash them between events each winter and they continue to hold their integrity. They are a little hard to put together but only because they are extremely strong. Once you get it setup it’s set.

Set up is quick, it can be a little hard to lock in the last cross bar. I recommend having a tool to lever the bar into locking position. Very comfortable and wide enough, plus long enough. I’m 5’ 11’ inches and 230 lbs and this cot works fantastic. Instructions stitched to bag. A little heavy at about 20 lbs, but good for car camping.

This cot really made major impact on my comfort level while camping out in Baja. I’ve tried air matresses, foam, etc. and I will never go back. A must have for me. Typical Coleman quality you can expect at this price point. No complaints.

Strong and solid cot. Excellent quality steel frame and cloth. I should have paid more attention to all the reviews. In addition to the reviews I read, I only viewed one video which showed just minor difficulty in snapping the 2nd crossbar into place. After I received this cot and needed to put it together in a tight space, I watched some more videos. Most of them described a lot of difficulty snapping in that last piece, as well as how hard it was to take apart to collapse. Difficult doesn't begin to describe my experience. I finally used a hammer handle as a makeshift prybar for leverage, and even then it was a huge struggle to snap in the last piece. I don't look forward to trying to take it apart. I'm a bit afraid of injuring myself to be honest. I'm a 5'2" 70+-year-old female, moderately strong. I always dislike it when instructions or reviews mention that assembly would be better (or best) with two people. I don't understand why products intended for one person can't be better engineered to make setup easier if you have to do it solo. I purchased this to put in the front half of my 23-ft vintage camper while a leaky roof in the midsection is being repaired — a semi-emergency situation. Although I would like to fold and unfold it for sleeping because my space is so small, I can't do that easily enough to risk not being able to set it up each night. I am able to turn it on its side temporarily so I can get past it, but it's still an obstruction. When my roof situation is resolved and I can fold up the cot longterm, it is actually very space-efficient when inside the included canvas case. One other review mentioned putting it back in the case was hard to do. At first glance, that's probably true, but I will cross that bridge if I come to it. In retrospect, I should have ordered a narrower cot, however I will keep this. At least it's excellent quality, and will give me a comfortable night's sleep when I add some comforters for padding and warmth. The only other thing I should mention is that there are some odd scratches on the underside of the cloth, and some faint blemishes on the bottom of the carry case. This makes me wonder if it was a return, or if the underside scratches are just from the legs scraping against it when folding/unfolding. Hopefully, the scratches don't compromise the strength of the cloth.
