XT-3 Camo Oversized Steel Army Cot with Foam Pad and Pillow

I haven't slept on it yet, but it got here in time for opening season deer hunting in Alabama. I set it up to see if I am going to like it. I bought the only open box item they have of this product. Mine was supposed to have a stain on it, but there is no stain. The box appears to have been wet at some point, so I am guessing that someone must have described it as being stained just in case some discoloration occurred from being wet while in storage. No mildew or anything, just a new condition cot. It was a little tough to put the last end bar on, while setting it up, because the fabric is really tight. I have read in some reviews that these can sag in the middle. I don't much think that will be a problem with mine, and I am about 275 lbs. I laid down on it, and it is really firm. It does have a very thin pad on it that is not a lot of count, but it is there. The camo pattern is cool too. I plan to lay my sleeping bag on it for a cushion, and just bring a lite blanket, when I go on the hunt. I guess at some point, when the really cold weather gets here, I will buy a small memory foam cushion to go on it.This cot is really nice and spacious. It is every bit of 85" long. I could bring a puppy to the hunt and have room for him to sleep by my feet! it is nice and wide, at 33". So far I love this purchase. I highly recommend one of these if you are a full sized person and need space to rest well.

I bought this cot thinking that I'd finally have a cot that I could sleep in and not worry all night if the canvas would split, or the legs would break. It's big enough and long enough that I can turn over and sleep on my side, and my head and feet don't hit the end bars. My problem is with the center of the cot, as the fabric does not remain stretched tight enough right across the butt area. This slackness is caused by the fabric sewing, allowing plenty of open room so that it doesn't get caught in the folding joints. I appreciate that it doesn't get caught in the folding joints, but the big gap means that the fabric doesn't stay stretched right across the middle. This means that I can not comfortably sleep on my stomach. What I do is put a fabric ratcheting tie down strap under the middle section, and then put an extra sleeping back or small pillow under my sleeping bag, which helps to bridge the sinking of the middle section. Overall, I think I'm happy with this cot, as there are few options for guys 6 feet tall or more, and fairly heavy around the middle. Once folded up, the cot fits into the bag easily, although it's heavy to carry. I would not want to carry this cot far, but if I unload my truck right beside the tent spot, the weight isn't a problem. When I received my cot in the mail, the carrying bag had a 2" split in it, I wrote the makers and asked for an iron on patch to cover the split before it got bigger. The company sent me by surprise and entirely new bag, wow, what good customer service that is. I think this cot is built in the USA, maybe in Texas, and that always makes me smile.....I'm tired of the imported junk.

Does what it was bought to do. Quite comfortable.
