Night Cat Camping Cot Bed – Portable Folding Sleeping Cot

It’s ok, but only OK. It packs small enough for the truck of the smallest car, but to big for backpacking. It’s large enough to hold the average male, bigger people need not try this.
It’s a pita to set up, there are a lot of parts to this. It’s like sleeping in a hammock more than on a cot. The sides seem to fold in on you, not tight or anything, but the middle sags enough that it’s hammock like.
You probably won’t be able to use an air mattress with this, it just sinks to far for that. It’s not terribly firm w/o an air mattress though, so it should be fine.
It is harder to assemble than the tent you’re putting it in, it’s also a decent size, so you’ll need a 3 man tent, or larger. Assembling outside the tent will be the preferred method, then move it inside.
I’m just saying, for a cot that fits in the trunk of your car, it’s functional and better that sleeping on the ground. If you have room to pack a larger cot, do that, but those tend to need an air mattress to be comfortable, this one doesn’t.
Overall I’m not impressed. It’s clumsy to assemble, it’s not super light, but not heavy by any means….packed up, it’s about the size of a 3 to 4 man tent. If I was going to camp for a week, or did a lot of car camping, I’d consider this as viable. If I was only using it for one weekend a year, I’d just use an air mattress on the ground over this.

Everything is true to the advertisement, including the price tag…

Finally got a chance to take this out, my middle little (13) had a bit of trouble figuring out the legs, but after I showed him, it flowed well. It went together smoothly after that, but it oddly came apart WAY harder.

Some sand and dirt got in there between the legs and where they connect to the long poles. I thought they had rusted at first, but it turned out that the grit and gravel somehow made their way in and added that extra bit of tension that made it a chore to pull apart. But otherwise, straight forward cot system that packs away into a fairly small footprint. If I were just backpacking, I’d think twice about bringing this along, but if I was driving to my site, i’d have no regrets with this.

I’m comfortable recommending to anybody who is aware of the price of still wants it; there are less expensive alternatives out there (and on the marketplace).

Being 56, I’m not as keen on sleeping on the ground as I used to be and have discovered the joy of bringing a cot camping when possible. This cot can easily be stashed in a vehicle if you’re driving to a campsite but it’s still to big and bulky to carry it on a foot/backpacking trip.
The 87″ (7’3″) length makes it useful for big guys like me (6’5″ & 240lbs). It doesn’t have end-sticks so it does sag a little in the middle. Considering the difficulty in setting it up, two extra sticks would have been worth it.
As other have mentioned, this is not quick and easy to set up. I’ve had tents that go up fast than this cot! Getting all the legs into the proper, latched position takes a fair amount of finagling, especially when adding the leg extensions to raise the cot. Note, you’ll probably want to get something to places under the cot’s feet to avoid poking holes through your tent floor.
All in all, this is a good cot made from sturdy materials but not one you’d want to assemble & disassemble every day. This is for when you’ll be in the same spot for several days, whether in the woods or crashing in a family member’s basement during a visit.

The “Night Cat Camping Cot Bed” is a quality built camp cot. It measures in at 27″ wide, and a whopping 7’3″ long. If you are super tall, you might need that extra length, but for an average sized person it can be problematic. If you are using in a cabin/guestroom, then of course the length is not an issue. A shame however that it won’t fit in my 2-man tent– it is so nice and light and yet very stable, and with the lower leg setting I was looking forward to using for tenting, but likely not an option with my current setup. Minus one star for that, but otherwise a very solid product. Would strongly recommend (as you should do with any equipment) to do a dry run setup at home before taking on an excursion. It isn’t particularly difficult to do following along with the directions, but if I was doing it in low light and not reading directions I would have struggled the first time. I was pleasantly surprised just how stable the thing is, even with the taller legs installed. I am a bit of a flailing and “wide” sleeper, so did find the side rails a bit uncomfortable, but perhaps no more so than any other cot I have used.
