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 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.

They're kinda heavy, but it's not like I was buying these for backpacking. They set up pretty easily (you'll need a little arm strength and some careful movement to lock the last bar into place without pinching yourself though). They're not terrifically comfortable on their own, but once I added a pad on top, I sleep very well on them in my tent. I'm 6'0 and 215 lbs, and they're large and strong enough for me, no problem. I've used them many times over the past few years since I bought them, and they show no signs of wear so far.

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.

Everyone else is correct: the last bar is difficult but I mastered it by sitting on the ground, pushing the bar with my foot, and snapping it in place. The difficulty is what keeps it firmly together while you are sleeping.I've purchased this several times, as I have left them behind with friends, or relocated internationally and couldn't take it with me. I am now purchasing my fourth one.They are very nice. Comfy with a blanket as cushion. Sturdy.

These things are awesome. As comfy as a cot can get, and the durability is amazing. My wife and I have been sleeping on these for all of our hiking/camping trips for the last 3 years, and they look brand new still! A little difficult to put together when they are brand new, but once they break in and stretch out a bit, they're so easy to get together and back apart. They go up and down just like modern Army cots, so veterans have the upper hand with these lol

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.

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.

It's low to the ground. Not for kids. Hard to set up. It's only comfortable of you have padding for it. But it works when you need it to so I would say it's pretty versatile.

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.

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

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

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 !!!! .
