Unfortunately it's only 23.5" wide. It doesn't have the same clamping mechanism as the Helinox---you just bend the legs to create tension. Otherwise looks very similar, weighs less, and claims to support 440 lbs.

Different construction, 25" x 79", only 4.7" high: https://www.amazon.com/Kingcamp-Ult...1MG5FIQP/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_sims?ie=UTF8

Just ordered the $110, now $107 in green. There is a 10% offer and free shipping, brings it $96.30. I will review it when it arrives. It does seem small, but I need a backpacking cot, so we'll see.

I have two very similar that I got off a mil surplus site for $39 ea. I don't think I would take anything this heavy backpacking.
they are now less https://www.sportsmansguide.com/productlist/camping/cots-air-beds/cots?d=117&c=423&s=436

It is called Kamp-rite

Looking forward to your review! Let us know which mattress you use with it.

Maybe they will expand to other models---wider, taller.

I sat in one of those chairs at REI and fell right over. There is minimal stability in them as they are very small on the bottom compared to the top. Certainly not worth $32.
