Camp Cots with Pivot Arm

I'm 6'5" tall 200lbs seems to be long enough for me, but I notice after getting up from the cot, the fabric seems to have stretched a little to cause ripples. While setting up the cot had major problems with end bar lining up while using pivot arm. Noticed ***** was a little loose on bar that had pivot arm attached too. So I pulled pivot arm attachment as close as possible towards end of main frame, then tightened *****. Seemed to help move end bar closer, but still having trouble getting attached. I had to pull on end bar to pull fabric to make it align properly. Oh my! Tried to stretch fabric to move closer to provide little space so I can attach end bar with pivot arm, but almost hurt my hand in the process.

After a lot of pulling end bar to stretch fabric and pounding on end bar to latch onto the main bar, it finally attached! I seem to have to do this every time I set up this Teton cot Not sure why other reviews show it all goes together so easily, but when I put it together, it's a major issue!

Construction seems solid once all put together, but be careful on end bars. The end bars can easily come unattached when moving cot around. Hence the reason I give this cot only 3 stars. Would I buy again, probably not.

Included a few photos of the XXL Teton Cot. You can see in one photo that the fabric is a bit wrinkled after using, but doesn't seem to mess with the functionality of the product. Another photo the fabric is centered on main frame, but still…

Bought two of these (one Adventurer, one universal) to upgrade from an air mattress for this years outings and let me tell you -- what a game changer -- not once did we wake up with our backs hurting, or feeling "sticky/stuck to it" due to the heat. It truly elevated our camping game to "glamping" and I'm glad I made the investment! The assembly/breakdown is super quick (I wish my tent was that easy) and the carrying bags are a life saver. When I had questions and concerns the customer support team was quick to answer everything and make sure I was entirely satisfied with the purchase. If you're like me -- a person who camps vs hotels to save money. You won't regret "splurging". All in all between the cots and the pads I paid roughly what two nights at a hotel in the area we go beaching would be and the fact that these have a lifetime warranty, were easily setup, comfy, and have a lifetime warranty makes the investment worth every penny. We spent 7 nights on them so far and I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.

Well I haven't had a chance to try out this cot yet, but I will soon! I have the Cabela's version of this same cot, less the "Pivot Arm" and it served me well for many years. Yea I'm a BIG guy 6'4" and 295+ Lbs. and these cots fit me well and are super comfy. They are heavy and take some power to lug around but built fairly well and if properly cared for will provide years of service. My only complaint is that some of the stitching can be troublesome! The storage bags that come with the cots are usually the first thing to let go! The stitching is simply not up to continued use and tends to come apart after time. So my recommendation is to re-enforce all the stitching if possible. I'm lucky and have access to a good sewing machine and know how to sew but if you don't and "Upholstery" shop can do the sewing for you. I also added a simple 4ft. ($14.00 Amazon) "YKK" zipper to the bag opening to make it more secure so things can't fall out. see photo's of the Zipper and re-enforced handles. Other than that I'm looking forward to years of great sleep when camping. Ohh and that litter Red Pivot Arm works like a champ! Make setup soooo much easier than my old Cabela's cot!
