Should I get a cot?

[Muley Buck]

For wall tent stuff I have a big cabelas cot that is super comfortable with a pad on top for extra cushion. For a smaller lower profile that will fit in most regular tents I use a Byer of Maine - Allagash Plus cot. It fits great in the nest inside my tut.

I use a Cabela's cot and like others, I sleep better in that than I do my own bed at home. I place 2" memory foam on top and an oversized 0 degree bag for cold weather. It is truly a luxury worth investing in.

Cots are kind of comfy, better than a ground pad, but they're colder and you can't warm your lady.

Cots are super comfrotable and nicd and quick to set up!

Definitely more comfortable than just the ground. Use the Cot + another sleep pad and a real pillow for ultra comfort while car camping.

Truck camping I use a Thermarest Mondo King in XXL. Good R-Value. The cot doesn't give me comfort, just elevates me off the ground in a tent.

This is what I ended up buying for a pad. I am still torn on the cot as it appears it just gets you off the ground and that pad offers a lot of cushion.
