Trailhead II Cot

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

Why did you pick this product vs others?: It's good product and comfort to carry and sleep.

The product is really handy and is really very sturdy, however the only negative for me is that it takes good effort to get assembled. If you are using this once in a while as a campus equipment, then it is good but if you are looking to replace the ugly folding cots that you get in India then it is not really a great replacement

Clumpsy package that was not good enough for a item that is over 9 kgs. The carrybag of the portable cot got torn at the bottom in transit. The side bars on the cot were difficult to fix. If it is designed to test the strength and wits of an armyman then it is OK. The relief that came on managing to fix singlehandedly lasted just a minute as the cot was not resting on six legs that it has even on a level ground. Perhaps it is designed for uneven surfaces outdoors. Giving it a benefit of doubt that once it is loaded it would find optimal distribution of weight perhaps through 'embedded' artificial intelligence, i laid down on it. It did not rock, thank God, but it made squeaky noises as i tossed. Maybe it was meant to monitor the quality of sleep when motion detectors and smart watches were not so common and voice recorders were available all over What amazed me is use of square pipes which may reduce the life of the cloth. Not sure of that but it definitely made the boundaries sharp reducing the useable space for lying down.

I have had many cots, primarily folding ones. I started with a regular plywood powder coated iron frame folding legs cot, then a fabindia single futon, then a folding cot which had thin mattress attached on to it. All of these had their own issues. The biggest one was, once you own it, you have to dedicate some amount of physical space to it. As I progressively moved into smaller and smaller rentals, I hated that the cot took up so much space and it was so hard to clean the floors underneath it. I sold off all my cots and started sleeping on the floor and loved it, until winter came. While sleeping on the floor with a chattai/grass mat, a quilt and a electric blanket is still great (for the soul and the back), i wanted something which didn't occupy any floor space when folded up but served nicely just as a day bed when setup. Somedays when one is sick (and often low on energy), setting up the floor bed is cumbersome. This arrived as a perfect solution to all my requirements! Setting up was not particularly difficult (had to refer to a youtube video) and it feels great! Also please note that am less than 50kgs so the cot takes my weight really well. **Update** Got another one and my parents (who are 60kgs+) slept on it and it held on well.

Good

Nice

Well packed, well delivered, easy to assemble and sturdy. Foldable and occupies very less space. I only wish, it would have been a little more high. Worth the price.
