Horizon Cot, Foldable Camping Cot for Children & Adults, Durable Sleeping Pad with Steel Frame That Holds 300 lbs, Folding Bed Includes Side Storage (by Caddis Sports Inc.)

Pretty easy to assemble, compact when folded and comfortable. Works great for car camping.

I like the color and the setup isn’t too bad. It comes in 3 pieces. You get the frame along with 2 side rails and the cot. There is no water jug included. I’m not sure why that’s pictured and I didn’t even notice it until I was just getting ready to revise the cot. Anyways the frame spreads out and then you have to take the side rails and feed it through the slots on the side of the cot. Once through you gotta break the poles back down in order to fit it on each end. It’s kinda a pain and takes the majority of the time in the setup. Once that is together it snaps to the frame. It takes around 5 minutes or so. It doesn’t set up in seconds that’s for sure. It is comfortable and it is sturdy. I would still recommend a sleeping pad especially if you’re older like me ha ha. There is a little pocket to sore your phone in or whatever while you sleep. The weight is typical of a cot. I would say 7 lbs or so I’m not sure and their site might list the weight. It’s not small enough or light enough to be packing up in the mountains which I’m sure you would already know that. In all it works. It will be great for this up coming camping season. I would definitely recommend for this price.

I didn’t find anything to like about this cot. It cannot be stretched wide enough to pull the fabric tight, so it’s like laying in a taco. With slack in the fabric and no horizontal bar at the head and foot, the ends are too floppy.Assembly was a bit frustrating because the gaps along the sides don’t match up exactly with the clips in the base, so the fabric had to be bunched up a bit in a couple of places.It’s a bit bulky when packed up and since it’s made of steel, it’s on the heavy side.This is all disappointing from a decent brand, but I am replacing it with an iClimb model that’s a similar size. The iClimb gives better support, is lighter, and packs smaller, though it’s a little more fiddly to set up and tear down.

I've used this twice since purchasing. In my opinion, it was a good buy. It took me about 5 minutes to put together on my own the first time. You unfold the base, put together the two side support rods, thread the rods through the canvas pad (this was the most difficult part), and pop the rods into the support base. Pretty simple, but it took longer than the "seconds" claimed by the manufacturer. Break down was easy. I am happy with the quality. This cot is solid, the material is thick and durable, and the carry bag is roomy, so no struggle getting parts back in. Bear in mind this means the unit is heavy. As for sleep quality, I can't speak to sleeping directly on the pad, but I put a backpacking style inflatable camping mat on top and it was incredibly comfortable. Overall, I would definitely purchase this again.

They certainly did not skimp on the material when making this cot. All the metal rods are thick walled steel. The fabric is also heavy canvas, including the storage bag. All this heavy duty material also means there's some heft to this cot, but it's not so heavy to be unwieldy.Since the description said this cot is foldable, I was expecting the entire cot to be foldable and not only the base frame. The long sticks and fabric has to be put together separately. I find this to be annoying to use at camp because unless you have a very large tent, you would have to set this up outside and potentially get the sleeping surface dirty.I measured the sleeping surface to be around 74" long and 26.5" wide.

My use case for this cot is the little different than most. One of my primary work tents has the capability to be clipped on to a cot. A capacity I haven't had the excuse to use until now. I just got back from living in this cot and tent setup for a work contract and I am happy to say that the cot performed wonderfully.The frame unpacks and packs back up incredibly quickly and managed to survive in some pretty adverse conditions without looking the worst for where. The side poles are equally sturdy and easy to put together. Before threading them into the cot fabric, be sure to take a quick look at the one page instruction sheet. There are slits on the side that assist in inserting and removing the side poles. It is possible to insert the poles without the side strip but it's impossible to remove it without using the feature. It's quick and easy to clip the poles into the frame. It won't deploy in seconds but if you know what you're doing you can easily set this up in under 5 minutes. I also really appreciated that the storage bag is large enough that you can hastily stuff everything in it if you're pressed for time. No careful folding necessary.It's a cot and not an ultralight tent so it's inherently going to be pretty heavy and bulky. So save this for setting up an extra bed at home or for outdoor excursions where you don't have to backpack in. But that extremely heavy duty construction means that you get a 300 lb rating which is well above my body weight. And still well above the combined weight of me, my tent, and any of the equipment that I have in there with me. Which is great I like having that big of a weight margin to work with. It means I don't have to worry about it.This cot is described as being a size large, which is accurate, but I do think it could benefit from being about an inch wider and an inch longer.It's a cot so have realistic expectations about comfort. It's more comfortable than some cots I've slept on but it's no premium mattress.Overall I think this is an excellent option for use as a traditional cot or for more specialized situations like I'm using it. There are plenty of cheaper cots but I think that you absolutely get $100 worth of good construction and materials with this one.

Really disappointing lack of inspection/quality control, given the price.
