      Comments about REI Camp Folding Cot:

      I really had high hopes for this cot! I really liked the design - it is very easy to setup and it has webbing to help tension to corner to ensure you have a nice firm sleeping spot.

      Its compact for the most part and felt very durable.

      However, I was only able to use it 1 night before returning due to the squeaking. Every movement, roll or shift caused loud squeaks and rubbing sounds from where the cot fabric wraps around the poles. To some extend this was expected but I found it was much louder and uncomfortable than anticipated. It's possible the squeaks would subside over time but I didn't want to have several more sleepless nights hoping the cot will 'break in'.

      In the end I returned the cot and will continue to look for another one. Maybe on a future model they can find a way to reduce the noise.

      If noise doesn't bother you or you sleep pretty still than I would recommend, otherwise I would skip.

        Comments about REI Camp Folding Cot:

        This is a great cot that served for 9 days of Scout summer camp on an island in the middle of a lake in northern NH. The legs are high enough to store a footlocker underneath. Set up and take down was simple and easy; within minutes. It is comfortable and roomy enough for a typical adult with a standard sleeping bag. The tension on the cot material can be adjusted for a slightly softer feel using the 4 pull-downs on the sides.

        Comments about REI Camp Folding Cot:

        This cot was so easy to set up. Anyone can set it up in 1 minute. I was very comfortable as well.
        I had 2 issues with it. I was on a mission trip and was I sleeping with several people in the room. Every time I sat on my cot or moved while sleeping on the cot, it made a very loud squeeky noise. I couldn't move without disturbing others in the room. I figured out that it was the seams rubbing on the metal poles. None of the other people had this issue with their cots.
        I was planning on returning the cot to REI and while packing it away after the trip, I also noticed a small hole in the fabric. I don't think it was that durable.

            Comments about REI Camp Folding Cot:

            I am writing this review since nobody else has. I have not actually used this cot in the field, but I felt I could offer some comments for others who are looking at this product. Following our last road trip, my wife and I decided to invest in a cot for her (I will probably get one eventually as well). We visited our local REI and looked at both this cot and the Camp Time Roll-a-cot. Out of the box, the Camp Time took about five minutes for the two of us to get set up, and was a little awkward. The REI folding cot was set up in 30 seconds out of the bag. Set up works like this- unfold the cot and position it with the legs pointing up. Pull both sets of end legs upward (the cot will spread apart as you do this). Once the legs are fully deployed, pull the four straps tight (one on each corner). Then flip the cot over, ensure it is fully unfolded in the middle, lay down and take a nap.

            This is a sturdy product, when fully opened the fabric was nice and tight but had a little springiness to it for comfort. The Camp Time is a well-liked product, and we'll admit we also liked it, but when considering how much cheaper the REI cot is and how ridiculously easy it is to set up, this was the winner for us.

            Add a self-inflating mattress and a pillow to this cot, and it'll be just like your own bed at home.
