Sutekus Portable Camping Cot Sleeping Cot Ultralight Backpacking Cot Bed for Outdoor Hiking Travel Beach Mountaineering (Black)

Note: From pictures and specs, the Sutekus cot appears to be the exact same thing as the Marchway cot.My initial reaction was that the Naturehike was sturdier and better built. The side rails on the Naturehike have a larger diameter than the Sutekus (0.69" vs 0.51"). Also the Naturehike leg assembly tubes have square ends so that they lock into the proper orientation whereas the Sutekus legs can 'swivel' (the ends rotate independently). But after setting up both cots and lying down on each, they both seemed equally sturdy (maybe a slight edge to Naturehike). The fabric weight and stitching seemed comparable. Clearly, these cots are not meant to be used as a trampoline. I would recommend a certain degree of gentleness especially getting on and off the cots. And they ARE low to the ground - it might be easier to roll out of the cot to stand up.Setup was easy. Some people felt they were too hard to bend the leg assemblies to attach them to the side poles. I did not feel this was a problem as long as you assemble the cot on its side and use the ground to help you flex the assembly between the side rails.Both cots were really comfortable (especially compared to the ground). The Naturehike is two inches narrower than the Sutekus, but I didn't feel like the Naturehike was too narrow. BTW, I'm 5'8" and 175lbs. - I can't comment on their 330 lb rating, but it seems 330 lbs might be bit too much for their design. Also I felt the Naturehike had a firmer surface. Lying on my back or my side was equally comfortable. I didn't feel like I needed a sleeping pad for comfort, but for cool/cold nights a pad is a good idea for insulation.I've never been in a tent with a perfectly flat floor and I was a little worried that this would be a problem. But an uneven surface did not really present a problem for either cot. There is enough flex in the frame that they handle minor floor bumps and lumps.They both came in at basically the same weight on my kitchen scale (Naturehike: 4lb 12oz, Sutekus: 4lb 11oz, both with bag). Unless you really need a flat sleeping surface, this seems a bit heavy for backpacking. But for car tent camping, they're great and fold up small enough to be a no-brainer to include on your next car camping trip.Assembly note: The side poles go into their pockets only from one end. People have commented that the ends were stitched shut - this is true for one end. The other end has a small hole where the poles can go into.

These cots are very portable and fit my family perfectly. They are a bit tricky to get back into the bag bit other then that they are comfortable and easy to set up. there are no bars in the middle witch makes it nice. They are short to the ground keeps you warm during the winter times. Sturdiness to them amaze me, I had myself and my son on one.

This Is a great and comfy cot. The first two poles were a little challenging and took a couple of us to get them in place, but then the rest of the poles were a super easy. Extremely sturdy and comfy with a pad.

These cots break down into small bags which is awesomeThey have an initial setup curve. I will say this, if you don't have good arm strength I wouldn't purchase these as the slight bending needed to lock things in can be a little tight. It's nothing crazy but an elderly person might struggle etc.However, they're ultra light but extremely durable! Once you've unpacked them initially and do it one time they setup fast!What I would suggest: my kids slept on them perfectly non issue.As an adult whose 5'7 250 lbs ... The cot held up very well but sold strongly suggest a quality sleeping pad. Which arguably brings the point of why not just sleep on a pad on the ground... For me, living in Florida any time I can be elevated even slightly makes a huge difference from a moisture and airflow perspective. Anyways the small downsides are arguably overridden by durability, ultra light weight, rapid deployability and take down.

I finally had the opportunity to get away and try the cot. It went together quickly and was pretty comfortable to sleep on - better than on the ground with a pad. One of the long side poles seems to have bent with just the one use. I contacted the seller and they asked for photos which I sent. They replied back that it is normal! I doubt that this will last for another use - very disappointed and can't recommend this product.

This thing is great! Comfortable, sturdy, pretty light weight, packs fairly small, and quite affordable. I slept on it for a week with zero issues. I'm a side sleeper and tend to move a lot in my sleep, but the cot is super solid and supportive. It takes a second to set up and break down, but . I also love that it's lower to the ground, as my tent doesn't have much clearance and anything higher wouldn't fit very well. At 4+ lbs I won't be taking it backpacking any time soon but it's now officially in the rotation for car camping.

The GOOD - It's very sturdy once put together, and very comfy to sleep on. This beats a small air mattress or a foam pad when camping. That space between your back and the ground makes the difference between a good night's sleep and a sore back in the morning. The price is not bad as well.The BAD - assembling this or disassembling this in a small tent can be troublesome. You can try assembling outside your tent and hope that you can move it into the tent afterwards if the opening will stretch enough, but assembling this inside a small tent will require a bit of arm strength and patience. It is doable, but it can be challenging, especially if you are doing this kneeling down or sitting down.The Sum for all peers - the cot actually looks good and functions great, but it's not exactly light. This is not a backpacking or hiking cot. This is more of a car camp accessory or a something to bring if you are canoeing or having your gear carried by another poor soul. This would have been a 4 or a 5 star if the assembly part was much better.
