I love this cot as it is easy to set up, take down, folds for compact storage, sleeps a tall person and is comfortable! Can you believe it? Nice to have around for children's sleep-overs and visitors.
A layer of blanket or a runner rug between the mattress and springs. I find that the coils/springs are a bit noisy, not so much so that I can't deal with it, and I can feel the underlying wire. Once I added the additional layer it's more comfortable. Pretty easy to set-up and take down, a bit heavy but worth working with.
The Swedish folding cot is a great sturdy cot. I purchased it for my grandson who is four years old and will be staying with me for 3 months. He loves it. Whe he leaves, I will use it as a great extra bed for visitors. Can easily fold it up to store away when not in use.
The cot serves its purpose when guests stay overnight in my home. It is easy to set up, comfortable to use in an overnight application, and stores in a small space.
