My 3 favorite features

Comments about REI Comfort Cot:

After a day hike along the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) with my son and his scout troop, I thoroughly enjoyed a great night's sleep on this cot. The features I like the most about this cot are:

1) Each leg has an adjustable length. I don't mind if my tent is on uneven ground, because I can adjust the cot to be perfectly level. (Hint: For a make-shift level, roll a filled water bottle along the cot and watch the air bubble in the bottle. Adjust the legs accordingly.)

2) It is longer and wider than most other cots. I have a Big Agnes sleeping bag (wide and long) that fits perfectly on the cot. No overhang on the sides or the length. I don't think this will fit in my REI Taj 3 tent, but it fits great in my REI Base Camp 6 tent.

3) The legs are carefully spaced to provide lots more support near the head/torso area, and less down at the feet. This is a smart design. When I get in or out of my sleeping bag (transitioning to/from a seated position), I'm usually sitting near the head, which is also where this cot has most of its support. Other cots tend to tip, unless you sit in the middle. The feet pivot around and are wide, too, which reduces the pressure points on the tent floor.

I want to keep this cot clean, so I sewed my own custom bag using a 4' x 8' tarp, a long zipper, a shoulder strap, and some heavy duty thread. The bag works great! The cot itself is a little bulky and a little heavy, but the bag keeps it closed and the shoulder strap helps to carry it.

Service and delivery comments:

I ordered on-line, and had it delivered to my local REI store. It arrived about a week ahead of schedule, just in time for me to take it on a camping trip.

Excellent car camping cot!

Pros

  • Durable
  • Versatile

Cons

  • 18 plus lbs
  • Bulky

Best Uses

  • Campgrounds
  • Car camping comfort

Comments about REI Comfort Cot:

Cot performs exactly as described and is definitely comfortable due to the shock-cord suspension. To make it even more versatile I tightened the locking devices on both sides of the head/shoulders section to the halfway open position which made a really comfy lounge chair, probably not what the designers intended but it works very nicely. When I'm not using it my two dogs (80+ lbs/ea) share the cot for napping.

Comfortable, cumbersome, can collapse

Pros

  • Comfortable

Cons

  • Collapses

Best Uses

  • Campgrounds
  • Xtra bed home

Comments about REI Comfort Cot:

Very comfortable for camping. Its bulk, however, is prohibitive even for car camping. For a family of 4, these cots would occupy most of the car space, large part of a van's space. They have collapsed several times on us during the night - perhaps we are at fault for not following directions? Still, they have collapsed. My recommendation is tepid. I would get a less bulky cot for car camping next time.

Comments about REI Comfort Cot:

We just came back from a 3 night camping trip using this cot for the first time. This is a great product to bring camping if you have the room. I have a bad back and knew I could not sleep on our air mattress for 3 nights so we brought this cot to test it out. I am also 6 feet tall so I needed something that would be long enough for me. Set up is easy and quick...faster than blowing up a mattress! Sleeping on it was great. Super comfortable and very supportive. Lots of nice cushioning that feels really good when you are in your sleeping bag. There was no slipping and sliding on a moving mattress. No bouncing around every time you move and no sliding down the mattress if you are not on level ground since the cot can be adjusted to be perfectly level. There was no reinflation necessary since it's not an air mattress. Best of all no back pain yeah! I was able to get up and swim, hike, bike and play all weekend. I think I slept better than I ever have camping! You can adjust the height and level of the cot any way you want to make it comfortable for you. Adjusting it is really easy. An added bonus for us was the extra storage room under the cot for clothing, towels, books whatever. All around a great addition to our camping gear. The only drawback was that it is bulky, especially when packing two.

Comments about REI Comfort Cot:

I'm a weekend tent camper. I've been searching long and hard for the right cot. I think i found it. This cot is very comfortable and sturdy. As mentioned in other reviews, the cot is a little on the bulky side, but still worth the investment.

Very nice cot. Setting the legs takes a little getting used to but overall, this is a great cot that deliveres a good nights rest. I normally backpack thus my view may be skewed a bit since I normally sleep on a Thermarest.

Comments about REI Comfort Cot:

I am now in my 50's and no longer enjoy sleeping on the ground. This cot is very comfortable and cushiony. One of my favorite thing about it is it's ajustable legs. Last year our campsit was on a slight slope. I was able to adjust the legs where I couldn't tell our sight was sloped. It is heavy to carry, and is hard to pack in a small car with other camping gear. Even with the cons, I would totally recommend this cot for those who want to be comfortable

Comments about REI Comfort Cot:

Extremely comfortable. Easy to set up.
Used for a week at cub scout camp with my son. Other dads were very envious since they had to sleep on old canvas army cots.
A little bulky but certainly light. Much better than air mattress based cots.
A little expensive but you get what you pay for.
Extremely pleased and look forward to using for years.

    Comments about REI Comfort Cot:

    I saw this cot, (well, a picture of the cot anyway (it's only available online)), and had to get it. I am so very glad that I did, too! I have some back issues and need to sleep on a firm, yet giving surface, and this cot definitely did the trick. I'm a side sleeper and this is the first cot that didn't have any of the support bands digging into my upper thigh/hip area at all. The only con that I can think of is that it's only available online so you have to order it to be able to try it out.[...] This is one cot that *almost* beats sleeping on a regular bed. Try it!

    Service and delivery comments:

    Got it early in the morning on the day it was "promised" to be here. The box was bigger than I expected - though I'm not exactly sure what size I thought it would be - but arrived without any damage. You have to pay $15 for an oversize shipment but at least it's fairly lightweight (just under 19 lbs.).
