Been looking for a cot. I have seen a few on amazon and other places but the reviews seem mixed. Anyone have one they recommend?

This is one I was looking at. I am thinking of using it at home as an extra bed and maybe a truck camping trip. Thanks,

Roll - A - Cot

Well made in the USA. Waterproof. Made with a mesh fabric so its breathable in the summer.


FWIW,

I have one of these and it is pretty comfortable. http://www.slumberjack.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=55

I think you can get them for less than they show on the site.

Perhaps you could find a real surplussed cot at a surplus store for cheaper? I have slept on them quite a bit. They are comfortable but noisy when you shift.

I saw that one. Is it sturdy? I do wish it was about half that price

+1 on slumberjack.  I've been using one for about 5 to 7 years now.

They have 2 or 3 sizes,  the biggest one is pricey,  do a search you might find them for a bit less.

Strong and comfy.  
I use a thermarest foam pad on mine and it's quite comfortable!
It's nice being able to stow gear underneath, saves floor space.

Being up off the ground is so much nicer and warmer.

It folds up small and is very compact,  
it would be easy enough to carry 2 or 3 of them in a BOV without taking up too much precious room.
