Coleman ComfortSmart Deluxe Camping Cot

Surprisingly comfortable, easy to assemble/ pack. It’s very well made and sturdy for someone that’s 6’2 and 270 lbs. I use it for camping or if you think you may need another bed in a hotel stay. It’s a good buy and very functional. I’d recommend/buy again.

I recently had the opportunity to use the Coleman ComfortSmart Camping Cot with Sleeping Pad during our stay at the hospital for the birth of our newborn daughter. As a husband, I wanted to be there for my wife throughout the process, and this cot made the experience significantly more comfortable.The first thing I noticed was how easy it was to set up the cot. It was a matter of minutes before I had a comfortable place to rest, which was invaluable during the long hours at the hospital. The folding mechanism is intuitive and hassle-free, making it easy to move and store when not in use.Comfort is where this cot truly shines. The thick mattress pad provided much-needed support and cushioning, allowing me to get restful sleep despite the understandably stressful environment. I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the cot was, considering it’s a portable solution. It’s firm enough to support my back but soft enough for a good night's sleep.The cot's sturdy steel construction gave me confidence in its durability and stability. Even on the hospital room's hard floor, it remained steady and didn’t squeak or shift, which is essential in a quiet hospital environment.The size of the cot is another plus. It's spacious enough to accommodate my height and build comfortably, yet compact enough not to take up too much space in the hospital room. This balance of size and comfort was perfect for our needs.Another aspect I appreciated was the ease of cleaning. Hospital environments require high hygiene standards, and the cot's materials were easy to keep clean and sanitary.Lastly, I want to highlight the versatility of this cot. While it was a lifesaver at the hospital, I can see it being equally useful for camping trips or as an extra bed for guests at home. It’s definitely a multi-purpose item that I see us using for years to come.In conclusion, the Coleman ComfortSmart Camping Cot with Sleeping Pad was an essential item during our hospital stay for the birth of our daughter. It provided comfort, stability, and convenience, making a challenging situation a bit more bearable. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a portable, comfortable sleeping solution.

Let me tell you, this is no ordinary cot. The mattress doesn’t seem like much but when combined with the spring tension layer, it’s on another level than ordinary cots. This cot can make your whole camping experience better by getting much higher quality sleep.Or need an extra guest bed but don’t have the space for another bed? This is your ticket. Ticket to what? Maybe it’s a ticket to happy in-laws which could lead to a happy spouse which could lead to you getting some even with your spouses toads sleeping in the living room. Or maybe you come home one night after having a few too many with the boys and your wifey says “Unh. Uh!” Off to the basement with you and on the cot cuz you WILL NOT puke on me or in my bed! Now Go!”Not really compact enough to take on a bike but in the right size little trailer; probably. This thing has all sorts of good to keep around qualities that I could go on and on forev. Bottom line is that it’s just comfortable and could even help you out in a jam if you need a bed.

I purchased this as extra bedding for guests, in the office, where we have limited space. The cot is mostly good, but I do NOT like the awkward way that that it folds up for storage. First, you have to remove the sleeping mat from the top of the cot ... and set that bulky thing aside somewhere .... Then, you have to FLIP THE WHOLE DARN COT OVER, so it's upside down. Now you can grab the sleeping mat again and tuck it in under the bars by the legs. Next fold the legs down so they squeeze the sleeping mat. And finally ... you get to the step that I had assumed would be the FIRST STEP ... that is, folding the cot up, like you're closing a book. There is some velcro to help keep it closed for storage. I've only seen one other person mention this awkward folding up of the cot in the reviews. I imagine if you're using this out in the great outdoors, with wide open spaces, you wouldn't notice this inconvenience. But at home, where I've just got a tiny little office and not much space to move around ... it's definitely a downer that I have to do all this acrobatics just to get the darn thing folded up. I thought that would be the easy part. But oh well.The cot does fit my space wonderfully, and it's one of the few compact and portable sleeping options I've found, which gives you the full 80 inches of length. I'm not tall, but some of my guests are. I know the tall folks appreciate being able to lie down without having to dangle their feet over the edge.The sleeping mat that comes with it is OK, but it's not comfortable enough to sleep on more than just a night or two. It's has a stiff plastic feeling but it's cushiony at the same time, like a gym mat. To make it more comfortable for guests, I bought the Downlite (down alternative) Dorm Twin XL Fiber Bed, which has a 3-inch gusset, and the Cool Touch 400 Thread Count Waterproof Mattress Topper Protector, which accommodates mattress toppers from 2 to 5 inches thick. All three of these work perfect together. I tried lying down on the camping mat that comes with it, and it felt too spartan (would have been fine for camping). The weird thing is, it wasn't actually firm (which I would have liked), it just felt sort of insubstantial. Then I tried lying down with just the fiber bed / mattress cover combo on the cot (without the camping mat), and it felt too saggy. Finally, I tried it with the camping mat plus the fiber bed / mattress topper combo, and it was good. I tried it out by sleeping in it all night. Comfortable and firm enough for me.The camping cot is lightweight enough to move around the house, and it does fit in the back of the car, flat, if you have a large trunk. The camping cot folds up and out of the way, against the wall. For the big fluffy fiber bed / mattress cover combination, I got some bungee cords for holding them tight in a bed roll. Then we put 2 hooks on the wall and hung a carabiner from each hook. Now when the fiber bed is rolled up, we hook the bungee hooks into the carabiners, and voila ... the fiber bed roll is up and off the floor, out of the way.

This cot is a total game changer for camping or guests! It sets up in under a minute and feels incredibly sturdy. The built-in mattress pad is way thicker and comfier than I expected — I actually slept through the night without tossing and turning, which never happens when I’m camping. It’s also a great size, especially for taller folks who need that extra length and support.Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade from an air mattress or floor sleeping situation. Worth every penny!
