After perhaps 10 years of continuous use, one soldered junction on the frame gave way on the second one I purchased, and I could not arrange to have it repaired while I am using it, so I just purchased another (my third one). In a moment I came to regret (when I wasn't using it), I gave away the first one I purchased (purchased about 25 years ago)--in perfect condition. This item is very useful, versatile, and economical.
We have had 2 of these cots for twenty years. Needed another cot, so was glad this cot was still available. Comfortable extra bed for grandchildren. Have slept a few times on it and it is very comfortable.
This cot is rather comfortable even though the mattress is very thin. There are several things that I do not like about it. The mattress sits higher than the sides of the cot, so there is nothing to help the mattress stay on the frame. It slips off easily. Also, the legs do not lock into place. It collapses several times when I set it up. Once the weight of the sleeper is on it, we have not had it collapse. Then, to store it, you have to take the mattress off, turn the cot frame over, and then feed the mattress through the 3 legs. The ends can then be brought together to close it. I would not purchase this cot again.
I think this product is misrepresented as a quality product! Included in the positive reviews is a comment that one customer prefers it to his Temperpedic bed!!! Come on, it's a cheap metal frame with a piece of form (tastefully covered) like we use to sleep on in college. We have 2 Temperpedics and love them and I just had to spend $ 160 for memory foam to go on top of your cheap piece of foam. I hope it works and a guest will be able to get a decent night of sleep.
