The cot was a little tight when I first assembled it, so I left it assembled for a couple weeks and slept on it on the back porch a few times. Now that it is broken in, it is easy to set up. The 500 pound capacity is probably right, because I am light and tend to bounce of easily, it seems hard compared to the cots I have worn out in the past. The really nice thing is the size 6' 11" long by 32 1/2" wide. The only problem was the buckle for the storage strap which was made of plastic and broke when I cinched it up.

I bought this for camping, and it saved me one night when I found the poles to my tent were missing. It is a bit of pain to put back into the sack it comes with, but that's ok. I've also used it for unexpected company and they have told me it was comfortable (I think it's comfortable too).

My cots (I bought 3 of them) were also blue. They were made from this plastic-ish material, and the first time they were used we realized we made a bad choice. One cot ripped when my 10 year old daughter laid down on it (no where near 500 pounds!). After that weekend, I tried to sew the cot back together, but the material just tears if you try to sew it. Another cot has lost its leg, and we had to use a plastic crate to keep it from tipping over. We have used 2 of the cots 3 times and one of them twice, and already 2 of them need to be replaced. The ends of the cots are easily lost, and the cots do NOT want to go back into their cases very easily.

I will be buying new cots before our next event, and it WON'T be these.

Company was several days late shipping to me (after confirming original shipping estimate when I contacted them for info, even). I am very pleased with the cot, tho'--it seems sturdy and comfortable. The canvas is VERY TIGHT! (I am a 100 lb weakling, so have to leave one end flopping loose since unable to secure it). I assume that it will stretch with use.

I bought this for my husband. He weighs about 300 lbs and I was confident it would work for him because it was supposed to have a 500 lb capacity. He used it 2 times. The second time he used it the cot collapsed under him
This was the biggest waste of money I have ever seen. I won't buy from this site again.

I would have wanted to know that the company BP Medical Supply does not have good customer service. BP shipped the WRONG cot and it has been a nightmare trying to contact BP-no call back. I spent 44.oo in shipping and I still do not have credit for the wrong item. By the way I still do not have a cot to sleep on for my camping trip next week. I will go to a store and buy one!

I sat in the middle of the cot and the middle legs collapsed. Cheep substandard aluminum connector failed. I could bend it by hand. I fixed it with a piece of steal. Then the side aluminum connector failed.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COT!!! I don't consider this heavy duty. 500 pounds would collapse this cot!!

HAD TO GIVE THIS ONE START TO SUBMIT RATING, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A ZERO!!

I got to use my new cot for the first time this weekend and, I must say, I was impressed. The frame is made of aluminum rectangular tubing that folds into a compact, easily stored, package. The sleeping surface is heavy duty and made to last. When fully assembled (it took about 2 minutes)the cot is VERY taut - you could easily bounce a penny off of it. The only minor issue was the stiffness of the new cot - which made it somewhat difficult to get the end struts in place - I am a big guy and I had to strain to get the second one to seat.

This cot should last for years, is well made and easy to store.

Good strength in the frame. Very easy to assemble. Functional. Very pleased with the cot.

I have yet to go camping with this cot, but we set them up and tried them. Very sturdy and I am a big guy so I needed the heavy duty cot. Easily set up and broke down and each came with a nice carrying bag. Also, they seem longer than most cots I have ever known and I fit on it totally.
