Coleman Trailhead II Camping Cot

It’s not that difficult
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.

Good Product

solid, dependable cot
Yes this is heavier than an alum frame cot of same design and it could rust if left outside. Chance of frame or cover failure is very low. It is easier to set up than many of the similar designs both aluminum and steel.Weight in carry bag is 19.7 lbs on certified digital scaleEasy to unfold and attach end bars. Unlike others the end bars extend 1.5″ on one side, but 3 3/8″ on other to give you a better grip when pulling end bar into position. Note: on this style cot unfold, full extend legs. With all legs on ground place your palms or fists on cot and lean putting your weight on it, repeat at each end and middle to stretch fabric. Do not sit, or pound on cot, just lean on it. Place end bar through fabric channel and hole in bar nearest bar end on frame pin. On other side of fame pull longer 3 3/8″ end of bar and place on pin. Repeat on other end. If too hard to pull try A) repeating pressing on cot with hands or B) Cut an 8″ or 10″ length of 1″ PVC thick wall water pipe and side it over end of bar to extend your grip when pulling or C) use a strong 3/4″ dowel or similar to pry against cot leg and bar. Plenty of room in storage bag for the pvc or dowel to store with the cot. The 8″ piece of 1″ PVC pipe allowed my girlfriend to assemble/disassemble the cot by herself. Also leave cot assembled over night to help fabric stretch and next assembly will be easier. If you decide to opt for the aluminum frame for less weight, always sit above the legs rather than between the legs when getting in and out of cot. Most broken alum cots I see are because someone just dropped down rather than sitting and did so between the legs where there was no support and often directly on the frame rail. This usually is not an issue with a steel frame like used on this coleman. Kids (and adults) should not jump and bounce on any camping cot. They just are not designed like a bed at home.

Es un poco más ancho que otros similares, es un poco duro de armar, me ayudó con un pedazo de madera y cada vez es más fácil poner y quitar segundo travesaño. Con una colchoneta de memory y unas sábanas prácticamente es una camita muy cómoda y fresca.Descansó casi como en casa 👌🏾

下が空間になるので、硬くなく素晴らしい寝床として活躍しました。布団を下げてしまえば、すぐ床が見えるので部屋を有効活用できるものかなり良いです。ただ、2021年の5月に導入して以来、2022年10月に破損しました。布地が裂け、そこから破れてしまいました。95kgなので、仕方ないと思います。使用感としては非常に快適でした。
