I have slept on it for six nights. My butt does not touch the ground even though I am 6', 260 lbs. With just a few simple steps, it assembles in less than five minutes and travels in the bag it comes in (which most camping gear The only thing I don't like about this is that the material is kinda slick, so if you're on an incline, you might slide. The price and rating capacity of this device were a good compromise for me. Hit is a good product. You'd be better off sleeping on a pool float than on the ground.

This cot belongs to my husband. We used it twice last summer when camping. A quick and easy set up made the experience comfortable. One of the clips on the cross bar broke on the second attempt when we pulled it out. This is why I gave it just two stars. The cot is useless since it only has four cross bars to support the patient. Our expectation was that we would receive a high-quality product for the money we paid.
