Coleman 2000020271 ComfortSmart Cot

I like the cot, it’s simple to open and set up, it’s comfortable. It is not meant for anyone over 5’7″, for your info- your feet will hang off. That’s fine, I knew that when I bought it- BUT- the cot goes up on either side when set up because the middle leg is a tad too long or something. When you lay on it, it flattens out fine, but the middle leg is slightly off – it leans to one side-and doesn’t lock into place like the end legs. I returned that cot, fearing premature breakage due to unnecessary strain on the middle brace, where the weight of the body is. See the photos to see what I mean.

I use this cot to sleep next to my bedbound mother. It sets up quickly, requires little floor space and folds up nicely with the mattress pad when the pad is positioned on the bottom side. Stable, sturdy and after 6 months’ use, the sleeping surface is not even beginning to sag, nor do I believe it will, and I have not heard it squeak once. The accompanying mattress pad is a bit thin, so I lay a folded quilt on top of the mattress and sleep well. When you consider most cots like this do not come with a mattress pad, no points deducted. A well made, quality product. Money well spent!

This cot is heavy duty and works great for me. The rating is for 250lbs and I weight 235. There is no squeaking when I sit down or move around on the cot. The mattress is adequate but I still need more foam.

I got this for my 5 year old because he always ends up sleeping with me. Now that I have this next to me, I’m not betting kicked and punched after he comes in. He loves it, and said he slept great. He said it was very comfortable and now he cant wait to sleep in it every night. That wasn’t the point of me getting it. It is easy to fold up and store away, and the mattress fits right on the bottom when you fold it up, then you can use the strap to keep it closed. It does not take up much space at all when its folded up. You can store this anywhere that you have about 4-5 inches of space to slide it into. I’m sure this would be great for camping as well, but we are using it for home right now and it seems to be a great hit with my son. My 2 year old even got up there and fell asleep on it. I didn’t expect that at all. He wanted to try it out when we took it out of the box, and he just climbed right up there covered up and went to sleep. My kids like to be comfortable, they are not going to fall asleep just anywhere, so if my kids are comfortable, then it’s definitely a comfortable bed. I laid on it for a few minutes as well just to see if it was something I would be able to sleep on, and I do not like hard mattresses, I like sleeping on a cloud. This is not like sleeping on a cloud, but it is comfortable, I think if we were to use these for camping, I wouldn’t have a problem sleeping on it for a few nights. The price is great too, we saw one similar at Walmart for $150. The mattress is easy to just wipe off for cleaning, but does not come off. I would have liked it even more if I could take the cover off to wash it, but I’m happy with the material and I can just wipe it off. The mattress could use a bit more stability with staying on the frame, so I bought some elastic last nite, and I am going to sew a piece of elastic on each corner so I can slip the elastic over the frame to keep the mattress in place better. For an adult, that probably wouldn’t be a problem, but my 5 year old that wiggles around like crazy all night long, he needs the elastic on there. This was a great choice, and I am very happy that I chose this one rather than a child size cot, he has room and he is comfortable. I hope this review was helpful to anyone thinking about purchasing this cot.

No guest room and nowhere for my sister to sleep when she came to visit. This cot served the purpose, I ended up sleeping on it and my sister slept in my bed. I had to add more padding as the mattress that comes with it is very thin. OK for the short term.

Even though I don’t fit lengthwise I thought comfort wise it beats many inflatable beds. I slept in it for three hours or so, very comfortable. No noises or assembly issues. Solid build, good quality mattress. Great choice for petite guests.

I love how compact this cot is. It can easily slip under a bed or into a corner when not in use. Great for when my nephews sleep over. More comfortable than an air mattress (in my opinion).

This very well-made cot solved a critical space problem.
