I don't want anybody to mistake this website for one of those daily deals sites like woot.com or groupon.com, but the good folks at World Outdoor Products are offering a great value on their Big Bear EASY roll up camping cot. This is one of the better reviewed cots on the market, and for the money, so I thought it would be worth pointing out to the camping cot fans that you can scoop up a two pack of this cot for $140, which is a $20 savings over buying them individually. That's a savings of 12.5%, so nothing to sneeze at.
This is a good traveling cot that is pretty easy to set up. It's aluminum frame with steel inserts means that it only weighs in at 12 pounds. Not quite backpacking weight, but super easy for moving around and taking to/from the campsite. At 84 inches long, it will accommodate taller campers. 32 inches in width is probably about the high side average from what I've seen. I've had one friend who is 6'2" and about 280lbs sleep on this cot and he found it to give him a good nights sleep. Set up time after you've done it once or twice is about 2.5 minutes, so like I said...easy to set up. You can easily add a foam or self inflating pad to this and you'll probably sleep better than you do at home.
World Outdoor Products Big Bear EASY roll up aluminum camping cot (Two pack!)
As you can see from the picture, the cot does come with a carrying bag, making transporting the cot a fairly simple activity. One thing that helped for set up was to put the ends in first (for the legs) and then do the middle two legs at the same time. Another thing worth noting is that since this is a larger sized camping cot, you'll want to make sure it can fit in your tent. Perhaps the thing to keep in mind the most here is that it can be uncomfortable for you to sit on the cot while inside the tent, and that's just due to how high off the ground the cot sits. More of a personal preference, but I thought it was worth mentioning. So at the end of the day I'd consider this Big Bear EASY roll up camping cot to be one of the better values on the market if you're looking for a camping cot that can accommodate larger individuals. With World Outdoor Products offering a two pack, that just makes it an even better value.
