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

I have 3 of these and love them! We use them when we go camping or when my kids have sleepovers. Comfy enough to use without a cushion. They are a little heavy but easy to set up and take down. They are very stable and sturdy. My 90 lb golden retriever likes to jump onto them to snuggle with the kids and they can withstand that!

Would have ordered sooner, but exact dimensions were confusing in description and reviews. The fabric part of the cot that you lay on is exactly 74 5/8 long by 29 1/4 inches wide. The end bars that hold the cot stretched and stabilized are 35 1/4 inches long. That’s the confusing part, some give the width of the fabric, and others give the length of the bar ends. The bottom feet have a footprint of 30“ x 70“. Rounding out the dimensions, the cot fabric is close to 75”x 29“. This turned out to be a perfect size for a 3 1/2 inch self inflated, insulated mattress, extremely comfortable. The cot is sturdy and well-made. The fabric is as tight as a drum once the end bars are put in place. Like I said, the fabric is so tight, it was difficult to place the second bar in position. The first bar was very easy to assemble, the second end of the second bar was extremely difficult, both my wife and I could not summon the strength to get it in place. Using a 1 inch stock of round wood, it was very easy to pry it into position. I would highly recommend you use a piece of 1 in. square or round stock, or maybe a piece of three-quarter inch PVC to use to pry it into position. You can see in the third photo the prybar and some foam insulation I added to the end bars just to prevent any running into your shins like I did. Due to that virus, my wife has slept on the cot and mattress for one week and has found it as comfortable as our bed. The cot is worth the price and I would recommend.

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.

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

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.

This is excellent when camping or when visiting family members house it is a little bit hard to set up but well worded and comfy and sturdy

I’ve used a lot of camp cots over the years, and this one stands out for its combination of comfort and durability. Right out of the box, it feels solid and well-made. I weigh 230 lbs, and the cot supported me easily without any sag or creaking. It stays level and firm throughout the night, no shifting or instability. The sleeping surface is surprisingly comfortable even without a pad, and the height keeps you off the cold ground, which is a huge plus on cooler nights. It’s also quick to set up and break down, though it does require a bit of upper body strength to snap it into place the first few times. Pros: Excellent weight capacity and stability (held 230 lbs easily) Comfortable surface for a night’s sleep without extra padding Packs down well for storage and transport Cons: Initial setup can be a bit tight until the material breaks in If you need a dependable cot for camping, overlanding, or even guest use at home, this one checks all the boxes. Great value for a piece of gear that feels like it’ll last a long time.

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.
