Comments about Byer Easy Cot:
This is a nice, long cot. I'm 6'2" and weigh 225# and it suits me fine. I wanted a spare bed I could use for sleeping in a cooler part of the house when the whether gets so hot - without having to push the AC to overdrive. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to set up. It literally just unfolds.
At first I was concerned that the only directions were a sort of pictograph on the box, but as it turns out it was that easy. Took about 30 seconds to remove it from the box and another 30 seconds or so to unfold it. I've only slept on it two nights but so far no complaints. Sagging so far is minimal, especially considering my dimensions. If I were going to use it for extended periods I'd probably want some kind of covering or padding for the cot as the fabric - while sturdy - might be a little rough over time.
The construction appears to be fairly rugged, including the stitching on the stress points where the fabric contacts the frame. I'll probably start partially collapsing it each day just to reduce some of the stress on the stitching.
To folks that think it's bulky, well, not for what it is. If you want a cot you can backpack this isn't designed for that, though with folded dimensions of about 6"x6"x33" and weighing about 20+ pounds it's pretty easy to toss into the back seat of the car or stash in a closet.
It wasn't available in my local REI for me to try or I would have bought it sooner had I known how pleased I would be.
Note about set-up: If your upper body agility, or your back, is a concern for , try unfolding it upside down, then turning it over.
Service and delivery comments:
I placed my request on a Wednesday and my cot arrived two days later. The REI on-line customer service rep was instrumental in helping me make my decision and answering my questions.

Comments about Byer Easy Cot:
this is a great cot for the price. very comfortable and easy as can be to setup and put away. great for no tent camping, that's the reason for the purchased and sleeping was great. its a solid metal design, which gives it it's weight, with metal parts where you'd expect plastic as with the other cots. all in all great for car camping.

I used these as spare beds for my college grand kids when they came for Christmas and they said they loved them. I could not believe how easy they were to set up and put away...and to store in their own bag. I would highly recommend to anyone.
