Does anybody use a cot?

Cot..

I use a full size Coleman cot with a pretty good pad that comes with it. It folds in half and is very easy to unfold and set up. I bring a feather bed with me and put that on top the cot pad for extra comfort. It works way better for me then an airbed. Good luck, Jason

i prefer a cot to all other forms of sleeping while outdoors, i find the cot just fine w/o extra pad. i curently use a slumberjack "big cot" very roomy and stable with storage underneath for shoes, headlight, book ect.

Micro Lite cot

For a few years I've hauling a compact cot on the MC, normal length/width but only 6" off the ground. Weighs about 8# and stores in a bag that's about 26"x8"x2". Nice for old bones and I don't worry about water finding its way into the tent if there is a heavy rain.

One thing to be aware of, if you camp in coldish weather, say overnight lows below 20 degrees, you still need a thermorest or some type of closed cell foam pad on the cot as you will have no insulation under you and lots of air movement.
