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

Tested just in the back yard. Great so far. Little tight on fabric part but.that will adjust over time. Only part that makes me a little worried is the ends that the metal holds to are plastic. But seem very sturdy. The weight is there. Definitely not a back packing cot. But perfect otherwise. Very sturdy. Nice part as well no braces hitting into your back.

This is an excellent cot to replace my old one (I believe it's a GI surplus) cot. Much heavier and wider to lay sleep bag flat since my old one slouch around the corners whereas this Coleman II fits the width of the sleeping bag which also is a Coleman brand sleeping bag. The surface is comfortable and a tad bit bouncy probadly due to the aforementioned width. The bars are thinner but seem very strong and durable. The foldable is straight forward and I had no problem getting the end bars attached.

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.

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!

We made the switch from popup trailer camping back to tent camping this year, which came with the added joys of needing to arrange for comfortable sleeping arrangements. I'm a VERY finicky sleeper, in that I side-sleep and need to be comfortable. I've had bad experiences in the past on cots with extra-taught fabric across the small of the back, weak frames that bend when/where they shouldn't, and unnecessarily large size when folded. The reviews for this were great however, so I figured we couldn't go wrong trying. The $40 price was anywhere from $15-40 cheaper than most other options as well. That said: 1) They're heavy. Since these are almost certainly going to be purchased by car campers, that shouldn't be any concern. It also translates into a sturdy frame that won't (shouldn't) ever bend unless a sumo wrestler lays down on it. 2) Assembly is non-technical and easy enough to do, although using leverage to get the second end-strut on is required. Disassembly is just as non-technical, and leverage is required to get the first end-strut off. The "difficulty" that some reviewers complain of translates into a frame that won't fall apart when you're sleeping on it however, so would you prefer something you have to worry about, or something that's sturdy that also requires you use a little bit more effort to disassemble? It comes with a tidy and relatively small carry bag that helps with storage as well. 3) Comfort: this has NO extra-taught fabric or support across the small of the back, which translates into an even sleeping surface. I placed a 3-inch thick inflatable sleeping pad I purchased on Amazon on it, and found that I was VERY comfortable while sleeping. I'd hoped I'd simply sleep well not to wake up hurting. I slept GREAT. The first night the plug on my inflatable mattress accidentally popped out, causing the pad to deflate. I slept for the remaining 3 hours on the cot itself and was still ok. This is a great cot that costs less than almost anything else out there. It'll even make a great spare "bed" for the kids' friends during sleepovers. I'm extremely well pleased.

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.

Like other reviewers, I found getting the end bar attached difficult and the bars stick out from the cot several inches. As for thd bars, the connection points are not the same distance from the end on each side. One side is 2" and the other is 4 ". Make sure the matching extension lenght is on the same cot side. Perhaps Coleman designer meant the longer extention on one side is for added leverage to connect the last corner. I connected the top bar and then smoothed the fabric on the cot side bars toward the bottom for an even fit like putting on a bed fitted bottom sheet. This helped me get one of the bottom sides in and then I sat down and bounced a few times on the cot bottom end to stretch the fabrics enough to get the 4th bar connector point in place. I am a petite female with small hands. Like others have stated I worry about hitting my shin on the protruding bar ends while camping at night. At least the longest side protrusion can face the side of my tent. The cot could function with the top bar attached and the bottom bar thru the cot fabric with the ends under the cot frame but not secured at the connector points if you do not weigh too much. I have a Rio cot which I love for ease of assembly. The Coleman and the Rio both unfold the same way. The main difference is the Colman end bars vs Rio no end bars with foot peddle for cot frame lock. I bought the Coleman for $24 and the current price Rio is $80. So if you have time to watch for a lower priced Rio, buy the Rio. I needed an extra cot for a camping buddy fast so I bought the Coleman. Both Coleman and Rio cot surfaces are very firm, so plan for some padding. I camp for a week at a time. I use an air mattress and sleeping bag on top of the cot. At home I have a soft pillow top mattress and am uncomfortable on firm bed mattresses. Comfort for my back makes for a better next day hike.

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

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.

Very very good for camping.also as a spare bed at home. Easy to carry , store and transport

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。

Excelente producto. Un poco pesado pero por ser metálico. Pero fuera de eso vale la pena

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 !!!! .
