Cots for slide sleepers and big and tall
« on: May 07, 2018, 02:22:30 PM »
Long time no post due to work and family issues. 

I am sorry I had to miss the campout, and I have been thinking about a decent cot if I cannot sleep in my reclining SUV seats due to back issues.
I read this list on the weekend recommending them for side-sleepers.

I am tempted to buy the first model, the "Teton", since I am an "Amazon", and the brand name is meaningful to me as Wyoming native.
Would like to know if anyone else has any input on other models as well.

I have the coleman 80, i wouldent consider it light. Not as compared to the aluminum cots used in the military. It is rugged though, and has plenty of room for a small frame guy like me 155 pounds.

Thanks to previous poster.  The weight of the cot is a consideration unless it is not rated for much weight like many cots made with wood.

My back problems is the whole reason I ended up trying out Hammock camping. you can get hammocks that hold up to 500#, weigh in less than 1#, and give you many sleeping options. I was skeptical at first, but once I tried it, I was hooked. If I'm sleeping outdoors now, it's my main choice.

Thanks, I thought about that too to avoid crawlies. However I have  reservations about my lack of grace dumping me out.  My submariner cousin also swore by them and about them.
