This easy to use folding cot is not quite as comfortable as a standard twin bed, but it is close. No squeaks, and while more narrow than a twin, it is wider than the usual cot. I'm 54 years old, 154 lbs, and 5'4" and a fussy sleeper, and I was comfortable. Much preferable to a blow-up mattress on the floor. The fold out legs were secure and stable with glides that didn't scratch a hard wood floor. Great product. I would think even a school age child could carry it and set it up.
I ordered this Swedish cot, made in Estonia to replace a raised airbed that I slept on for a year. I first looked at the new and improved version of this cot on LLBean.com with the wood slats but feared cracking, or the slats slipping out of their fittings like some the reviewers shared. When I saw that this model had serpentine springs connected to each other with metal clips I ordered this instead. So far I really like the firm feel of it. I'm 5'9", 160 lbs and the support I get is an improvement over my old raised airbed. It is narrow with a thin mattress so don't expect luxurious style sleep time - it is a cot. As a guest cot for non-obese people and kids it does the job and it works for me.
I just had a screened porch added to my house and wanted a comfortable folding bed so I could sleep out there on hot summer evenings. This has turned to be an excellent bed. It is super easy to set up (basically, just unfold it); the mattress is comfortable, the bed has good support for such a lightweight frame. After using it for two nights I decided to purchase another one to set up in a spare room for company. I did purchase an additional layer of cushioning for the mattress, but it wasn't necessary, just a whim because I wanted to be super cozy! I am very happy with this product; I do wish that LL Bean would offer sheets for this size bed; I am using twin sheets but the fitted sheet is too big. In conclusion, the size, ease, comfort, and price (plus LL Bean service) make this a top choice for a folding bed.
