Watch the video to find out the pro's and con's of this camping cot and discover if it will meet your camping cot needs.

I use the cot every night for almost 3 years as a primary bed and my back loves it with no pad. Ps I have a old back injury and this cot works great for me your mileage may very.
Just got mine this week too! The red pivot arm worked great for me. I agree about the pack size and weight. I also purchased the Core 6 person tent and it fits well with plenty of room. Enjoy! 🙂
Thanks for your comment. I've been eyeballing the Core tents, too. Not sure if I want to go that route or the Alaskan Guide tent from Cabelas.
Thanks for the video. It was really helpful. 👍🏽🙏🏽
Have you seen the disco bed cots. Similar in size but pack up nicely. Good investment if you ever take a friend as they can also become a couch for day use. My wife and I have two sets. One kid size and the other 2xl nc I'm a big guy
Great video, you are helping me narrow down my choices. We have a Nemo Aurora Highrise tent. t has a 90" width so we are go to go for the Teton xxl. Do you know if the pivot arm makes this cot easier to put together?
Also one thing I did notice as you stretched out on the cot. Was the fact that it swayed back and forth. The motion was from head to foot and back again. The reason I ask is I have lower back issues which cause me to toss and turn at night. Will that be an issue?
I am having a lot of trouble getting the end rails to fit. I used a hammer handle for leverage but getting the fourth and last one connected is not happening. Pointers? I have the end bars with the grooved sides up. Thanks
Morning mate, like you say car camping is OK as you do. Nice one. Tc Andy
My wife and I bought a Kodiak Canvas tent.....10x14 it fits two XXL COTS perfectly
Smart.
Would they fit good in 10x12 wall tent with stove
I have a Kodiak, Teton cot and stove.
Awesome descriptive video. Thank you. I'm a 300lb. guy at 6' tall and I am always moving and rolling around on my bed at home, so a 40" wide cot would fit the bill. I am sure you did your homework before buying this TETON. Did you consider the EVER ADVANCED Oversized XXL Cot? Almost the same weight and fold out size but folds up to almost half the size of the Teton. The Bed has less play. Just curious if this Ever Advanced was a contender?
No, I didn't. I'm super-particular and wanted to buy it locally as I've already gone through a couple of different cots that I didn't like. And so for the money, I wanted to try it for a few nights and then be able to take it back locally.
Thank you! Check out REI kingdom 6 or 8
Buying one to throw my king size swag on. Will hang over an inch on each side but I can deal with that.
thanks for the great review. I am a little concerned as I have not purchased the cot yet... I have a gazelle t4 tent and am worried the cot will take too much room inside, is there room for a chair, and small table once the cot is in place.
It's pretty tight. You might be able to fit a camp chair but definitely not a chair and table. I've since upgraded to the 8-man Cabelas Alaskan Guide tent for this very reason.
However, I think Gazelle has recently released a six man tent. The only real downside to the Gazelle tents are that they don't pack up small.
@@hardcorecampinggear Thankyou for the response, I purchased the smaller version the universal.. with the pivot arm.
Using an ancient wenzel sleeping pad and a new kodiak canvas sleeping bag very comfy... I recently went to Mammoth Lakes in California, and my sleeping bag zipper came apart, my cot was uncomfortable, I was miserable, so it is new cot, and new bag time, the tent worked fine.. good lesson on prepping my gear before I go..
I am trying to get rid of my current cot as it is insanely noisy when I roll over and it will wake up everyone around me. Does this cot do that also?
I don't remember it being particularly noisy.
What I recommend is (if possible) buy it locally and see if you like it. If not, then just take it back.
Thanks so much!
Any danger of the feet puncturing the floor of the tent? And what if you’re a side sleeper? Still comfortable? Thank you.
You're going to want to put something on the floor regardless of which cot you use. I buy the cheap moving blankets from Harbor Freight.
@@hardcorecampinggear Thank you. What about side sleeping?
I'm a side sleeper too. It works for me (with their cot pad). But I also think it's kind of a personal perception thing, too.
Probably know by now how to open it up but you gotta do it upside down from the way you were doing it so legs out that’s how you do it
Wow nice video at 6'3" and 360lbs I could never find a cot big enough or that would support my weight this looks like it will do both
ive got the same set up, gazelle tent and teton cot, just remember not to sit on the side rails! they will bend! im 6'2 270lbs ... but it is a good cot
I'm 6'1, 330lbs. Me and my 60lb dog fit on this cot without issues. I'm going on my 3rd year with this setup. It's my favorite camping setup.
I guarantee that this cot will support you I’m just a little over 6 foot and I weigh a lot and this caught supports me
Nice review. Does this cot end up sagging badly over time?
Doesn't seem to. I've spent probably 30+ nights on this cot and honestly-- it's more comfortable than my bed at home. I had to sell it before a cross country move but will be planning to pick up another two + the Teton cot tent once we're settled.
@@hardcorecampinggear Nice, thank you
@@hardcorecampinggear I used one in my office for years when I worked an evening shift and had to be back at 8am as I lived almost a hour from work. When we were short of people I’d sleep on it few times a week covering shifts. It’s as good a new still.
I'm 6'2 260. It sags a little too much for me. Maybe the pad would help, but I've tried my own pads on top. It's just not exactly what I need. I wake up, my back hurts.
I sleep with the Helinox Lite Cot Ultra-Light with a Klymit Insulated Static V Sleeping Pad only 3 pounds total.
I just got mine, wished I had watched this first, the sag is going to be a big problem with me as I have had 4 spinal fusions and nothing is worse for a bad back that a sagging sleeping surface.
I have back issues with regular beds even. I don't understand why but these cots are great. No back pain at all. (I do have the mattress). Maybe try it for a night or two. You might be surprised. I just bought two more.
@@hardcorecampinggear - I tried it for a night as you suggested, got the Teton xxl pad that goes with it and you were right, no problems with my back at all and this is by far the most comfortable cot I have ever sleep on, it’s huge but it will fit in my Kelty 6 man tent with no problems and I should have enough room in my SUV to carry it, if not I will leave some other gear behind because this is definitely going with me lol. Thanks for your suggestion, I was about to send it back and am so glad I didn’t!
@@ZootyZoFo Right on!! If I was single, I'd likely never buy a real bed again and just sleep on these. lol.
Did the pad make a big difference? I find the cot sags a bit too much. I wake up, my back hurts.@@ZootyZoFo
@@joevallone7313 Yes the pad did make a big difference, I didn’t have problems with the sagging, there is a slight sag on the sides but not in the middle on mine, I slept very well and I have had 8 spinal fusions & surgeries on both my neck & lower back. I believe they stopped making this pad, I got it for a discount and I don’t see them as being available anymore so I believe Teton might be coming out with a new model.
Great review video... I am coming over from >> "SoftRoadingTheWest"!
How about a 2 year review for this?
Still love it. Just bought another two actually, as I gave mine away to a friend before moving.
You probably should have re-recorded setting it up once you learned.?? The red lever is the EASIEST even girls have assembled with ease.
Hardcore Camping??? 👠Where is the Cháteaubriand and a goblet of something cool and refreshing. Can someone fiddle for me?
LOL. The gear is hardcore. Me? Not so much. :)
JK nice job ✌️
I'm 200lbs but this sagged more than any other cot I've ever had
Are you sure you've got the end bars installed correctly? There is a bit of sag, but not bad. Also-- are you using it with a cot mattress?
@@hardcorecampinggear I have only slept on a super tiny cot and those are very tight, maybe that is why I think the sag is so much
Too big bulky heavy for me

Thanks for your comment. That guy's got a great channel!! He puts a lot of work into his filming and editing.
