Teton Sports Outfitter XXL Cot Reviews:
Many people have purchased this cot through amazon, and the majority of reviews are very good. But first, a few of the negative experiences that some people have had with this cot. One reviewer lent this particular cot to a friend of theirs, and after only one night of camping, two of the legs had bent and broke. The canvas material and stitching can obviously hold the weight that they rate it at, but a few consumers have experienced a weak metal frame.
Others have found that the support material sagged down enough that they were touching the frame when laying down on it. The end pieces were also said not to fit snugly and could fall off if the cot gets bumped. Another reviewer that set the cot up per the instructions, immediately found the center leg had bent after sitting in the center. In all, they felt that the frame was poorly engineered. Others have experienced this same thing when sitting up in the middle of the cot. The middle leg can buckle and bend which then requires repairs to be made.
Watch out for the rubber feet as they seem to tear off on a regular basis and that will probably scratch your floor if you keep it inside as a guest bed. And that brings up another point that some people have disliked, and that is the fact that it can and will sag, leaving you in somewhat of a "C" position. It will probably do well for camping, but not used on a regular basis. Some have even stated that they began to develop back and neck pain when sleeping on this cot for an extended amount of time.
But we have to point out the positive aspects of this cot, so you will be able to make an informed decision regarding your purchase. First off, this cot is huge, and many people that have purchased it absolutely did love it, saying it is very sturdy and will be capable of taking years of abuse. It is larger than a twin mattress, and sets up in no time.
With so many people that have given this cot very good reviews, it is beginning to make me wonder if there are different batches of this product that got sent out. Some of them being very good and completely capable of supporting a large amount of weight, and others that are of far less quality. I say this only because of the broad spectrum of reviews out there about this cot.
Many tall people seem very happy with this cot, stating it provides ample room for them. It could be a little difficult to get the end bars in place, even after a few nights of use so watch out for this. But this could be a positive because that means the cot will remain firm.
In conclusion, nearly everyone has found the cot to be huge, easy to setup and store, and extremely sturdy. In addition some have said it exceeded their expectations, and are completely happy with it. This would normally make me want to give my full recommendation for this product, but I feel that their are too many things that could go wrong with this cot, so I will simply say if you do buy it, don't be surprised if you get less than you expected.
