Side by Side Comparison of: Simmons vs Coleman

Very comfortable. I'm camping out in my new apartment while I am slowly getting things unpacked. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this cot for the price.

This is used as an extra bed for the kids currently until the whole moving process is completed. They do not complain about it being uncomfortable and will fight over sleeping on it at times. It is very easy to store and seems quite durable. My toddler has jumped on it a few times, and nothing happened.

The bed was perfect for my extra guest. The memory foam mattress is comfortable, and the bolts Simmons provided to screw into the folding legs, keep the bed upright, and you feeling secure. When putting the bed away, I just unscrewed the bolts, folded the bed, and reinserted the bolts in the holes so as not to lose them for the next time. The bed fits perfectly in the closet, folded and upright, when not in use. It comes with a cover for the mattress, but I kept the plastic the bed was delivered in to keep the mattress protected from dust when I'm not using it. Perfect. You do need a carpet under it, as the legs are metal and a little slippery on my laminate flooring. I may just buy some adhesive pads for the future.

Sturdy-more than I expected, comfortable and folds up enough to store underneath a bed.I am completely satisfied.

Oh man, best night's sleep camping EVER! This cot is amazing. Will be using it for extra beds for company as well, but mainly purchased for comfort camping.

I bought this to sleep on while I am waiting for my furmiture to be delivered by movers (moved to CO from FL). I have been sleeping on it for almost two weeks and I sleep very comfortably. It is very narrow so I do not know how well it would work for someone who is not petite. It assembles easily in a few minutes. The foam cover had a odor but I was able to get it out with one washing. I was glad that it was not the foam that smelled bad. The canvas frame is very sturdy. I am pleased with this purchase.

I have been so tired of buying air mattresses every other year because they continue to deflate when you sleep on them. I found these cots in a store and tried them and decided I wanted to get them when I seen Amazon had a great price I purchased them. My son and I slept for 10 days on them. No more deflating mattresses. These are very sturdy and the pad makes it pretty comfortable. I do recommend using them on a flat surface because if you move the pad can start to slide a little. Also I put a sheet over it to avoid getting pinched or my hair caught in the springs. My son had no issues at all and likes them as well. They are easy to fold and store.

It's much more comfortable than I was expecting. There are no hard bars across your back or springs jabbing at you. I'm 5'9 and wasn't bothered by my feet hanging off the end. Side sleeping is rough because my knees did hit the side bars, but maybe that's just me. It would be great for camping, kids, or for an emergency. Not sure I'd have company sleep on it unless they were a little shorter. Will I throw away my regular mattress and just use this? No, but I wasn't expecting to.

Purchased for my husbands camping trips. Happy to say he is one happy camper. The cot is small enough to fit in our mini suv, and yet large enough to hold his 210lb body. He notes that it is really comfortable with just a sleeping pad, no springs coming through to pinch him and he gets a better night sleep than laying on the hard ground. Overall for a birthday gift, I say win-win.

Perfect size for sleepovers. Cot is also Very comfortable. This item is Portable but comes without a cover or case. I Would recommend this..

Bought for Boy Scout camping trips. Way more comfortable than the traditional army-style cots.

I can't believe how comfortable this cot is. It will be a great addition to my home for visitors as well as camping.

Good cot. It is pretty comfortable for what it is. My only complaint is that the mattress itself is very flimsy and gets stuck in the coils and I have had to fight to get it off and then chunks of the mattress come off. Also, the cover that came with it smelled like fish. Besides that it was excellent for me as I was recovering from ankle surgery and couldn't go upstairs, so I slept on this for about 4 weeks.

Good quality. I waited for the price to drop. Definitely helps out when we have extra people over. Narrow but full length. Holds an adult(300lbs) or 7 year old just fine.

Tiny bed, not ideal for adults. Go with the larger size twin.

Would like to have had a thicker mattress, but for the money a very good deal.

comfortable and sturdy cot. this cot is 26" wide, so if u over 160, don't think of buying it. Also the top memory foam only 1" thick, be aware of this. Other than those, the cot is in descent quality and cosy laying in.

Sturdy and well-made. The mattress is a little thin, but comfortable for temporary guests. Added a mattress pad for additional comfort.

I was pleased with the quality and comfort. I am 5feet 2inches and I cannot see anyone taller than that using it. My feet go down to the end. I only have an inch or soat the top and bottom to spare. The height is 13inches not counting the mattress pad. It is a good height to store things underneath the cot. The cot does come longer and wider for more money.....but if you are conserving space it is too long. I camp in my Dodge Grand Caravan, so conserving space is important. This cot worked for me, but, just be careful of the length. I feel it should be labeled a juvenile cot. Good buy and good quality.

Bought this as a replacement for a broken inflatable bed. Measurements provided are accurate and came with a thin foam mattress (not a memory foam kind). I'm 5'3 and about 145 lbs (I gave birth just 4 months ago). The length is good that my feet does not dangle on the edge but does not give anymore allowances that it's almost exactly my height. Mattress had a chemical smell. Best to air out before use. Except for the delivery box, the item is not wrapped in plastic nor boxed. It's relatively comfortable but it is quite narrow that I get that scary feeling I would fall off during sleep should I turn to my side. Definitely a good buy if you're slim and not pudgy like me.

Super comfy cot! I almost like it better without the mattress, but the mattress is also very comfy. Only thing I would have liked is if there were tabs to secure the mattress to the frame, as it's a little slippery because of the fabric. My kids want one now!

This cot felt extremely comfortable with the springs and mattress. I don't recommend it for tent camping because the leg beams are straight and will not conform to uneven ground. Probably better for cabins/ house guests.

4 stars because the coils can come out easily, but they can be put back easily.....but they can come out easily, so that's why not 5 stars.5 stars would be that the coils can't easily pop out.That said, I'd recommend this cot.It's VERY easy to set up. Just open it up and the legs lock and there you go.It's comfortable too. Quite comfy.The mattress is just a flimsy thing, but I use a different kind of mattress on this, so no big deal there. Just don't expect a real mattress. It's not. It's a thin piece of foam that offers no support. But what do you want for $40? ;-)That said, this is big enough for SMALL to SMALL/Medium/PETITE people.I'm 5'4" and it fits me perfect. If I scoot slightly, my feet hang off the end. So if you're 5'7" your feet will hang more than likely.It's also narrow, so if you're a large person, you may find yourself hanging off the edges.The material is great though.If you want a basic easy cot then get it.

I like the cot, it's simple to open and set up, it's comfortable. It is not meant for anyone over 5'7", for your info- your feet will hang off. That's fine, I knew that when I bought it- BUT- the cot goes up on either side when set up because the middle leg is a tad too long or something. When you lay on it, it flattens out fine, but the middle leg is slightly off - it leans to one side-and doesn't lock into place like the end legs. I returned that cot, fearing premature breakage due to unnecessary strain on the middle brace, where the weight of the body is. See the photos to see what I mean.I ordered a replacement because I like the cot- and the second one came promptly, but it also did the same thing- the ends pop up when the middle leg is locked into place. It also looks like it was used and returned- see photo of gunk and scratches on leg brace, and how it is off level when laid down upon. It isn't as bad as the first one as far as leaning.I decided to keep it and just use it til it breaks, since I like the cot overall. It's very comfortable, mattress is on a tarpaulin on springs attached to the frame- Just be aware of the strain on the middle brace if yours does this.

I Like the cot. Sturdy, but received it missing 3 rivets that hold the legs on. Contacted manufacturer but got no results. Easily fixed with bolts I had in the garage. However am traveling with it now and more rivets are falling out so it is held together with coat hanger wire.Aside from that the mattress is comfortable and it is easy to set up and store away. In spite of the rivet issues I would buy it again.

It broke before I got it out of the box. The middle of the cot splits. I throw away 118.$.. I won't buy anything g again on line. Too many problems

Good value. Comfortable too.

Comfy

Surprisingly comfortable and stable however as it is a twin size pretty small. Good for over nite or napping but not for multiple night sleeping .

It work for 2 months then broke on me very cheap material but it was still very comfortable the mattress the frame broke very easy but the seller was really nice and he stripped it very fast

It works well for what I bought it for. But I wouldn't sleep on it at night unless I had some type of cushion in addition to what it comes with. I bought a 4 inch pad; that made for a comfortable night's sleep.

Good for infrequent use like camping. After about a month of use, it really hurts your back as you feel every piece of metal holding it up.

a little soft.

The mattress is quite thin, the bed is narrow and short. Also, there's no way to anchor it to the bed so it will move around if you do. Not very happy with this purchase. It may be suitable for a child who doesn't move around a lot.

Knew it was small but unless your 5'8"or under pull up your legs. I truthfully think it would hold 275lbs. Like it says but if you're over 5'8" sleep with your legs up. I am 6'1", 225lbs. Could pull a night in this, after that yikes. Back pain city. Solid built though. Just needs to be longer.

It seems sturdy and comfortable enough for a good nights sleep. The one thing that is disappointing is the sound of the mattress cover material when you move around....makes this crinkling sounds like you are rolling around on paper bags, it is rather loud and annoying.

The base is more narrow than a standard cot & the memory foam needs to be a at least a 1/2 inch thicker. This should not be called a "bed". Works okay for 1 night but would not use for guests staying longer.

Great folding bed but the springs started to pop after about a month. May be ok for kids but not meant for anyone over 100 lbs.

not very comfy

way too small mattress is awful

So when I tried lying on the bed it was way more comfortable than expected. But, the bed was way way too narrow like more narrow than any bed could be! If I would make a move id be off the bed and I'm a small person!! This may be good for like camping but definitely not in my house or as a guest bed forsure not!!! That is so degrading!!! So I packed it away back in its box ready to return without ever using it. But returning it costs $50!!!! More than half of what it even costs!!! How ridiculous!!! Why would I go through the hassle of shipping it back and not even be getting a refund??!!! Quite unimpressed!! So this bed is still sitting in its box brand new taking up space in my house...I would love to give it back to its seller to sell to someone who would appreciate it...but ain't worth the money and hassle...

It's ok. Width and length should of this bed should have been little more.

It was smaller than expected.It's no use to me I was going to return but I had to take it 20 miles away from my house to Berkeley, CA to ship back with no charge.

The bed that I received is extremely dirty. I don't understand how come there is so much dust on the matress. I used half bottle of alcohol and a roll of tissue paper to wipe it out, and the paper turns out into black every time. I suspect this is a returned bed or something. I needed this bed urgently, so I kept it and used it anyway. I often feel itchy when sleeping on this bed maybe due to the dirt. I don't know how to clean the mattress properly, will be ruined in the washing machine. I regretted that I should just buy one from local walmart, at least the return will be much easier.

I had to return this. I received it and it was a lot smaller that expected. From the description and reviews I expected it to work for me. I am 5'3" and my feet came to the very end when I lay down on it. If I was a couple inches taller I would have hung off the end. Also, it was so narrow when I lay on my back and put my arms down at my side they wouldn't stay on the cot, but fell off the edge. I purchased the XL sized one for my husband and it was nice and large, so I will probably be getting another one of those for myself as well. This would be fine for a child or very tiny adult.

Mattress keeps sliding away from bed ..

Thought it would be a little sturdier and longer. I fit the dimensions lengthwise, but that was curling my legs a little as I do when I sleep. VERY lightweight, seems like it wouldn't hold as much weight as it does. My 5' daughter who weighs 140 lbs has slept on it for fun inside for the past 2 days. Got a soft fitted mattress pad and pillowcase on Amazon that goes nicely with it, because the mattress itself is covered in what seems like throwaway picnic table material. If I hadn't had been looking to find something cheap, I would've passed this by. It's ok for kids and I think it'll last awhile. You do have to be careful and make sure the end metal stands are pulled all the way out so the cot doesn't collapse.

This cot would be okay in an emergency. I did not like the crinkly sound the mattress makes or the fact that it was too short for my husband and too narrow. My husband is 6' tall and 175 lbs. Maybe I bought a childs cot by mistake?

I Liked this cot however it ripped apart after one year of use. Now I own Junk. Max weight is 300 lbs.of cot I weigh 210 on a bad day.

I ordered the same cot a year ago. It was as advertised. This time I ordered the same cot and what was in the box was NOT the same. This one was smaller, the mattress pad thinner and not the same as I got last time. I won't order it again.

This is a joke, bought it and threw away the packaging and did not want to put in the time and effort to return, took it to goodwill and someone took my $100 purchase on the spot for free ....don't waste your $, get a blow up mattress instead !

You don't get what is on the photos.. Nice to sleep on and easy to store but hard to keep folded up with out the strap in the photos??????? That's not right??

Way to narrow to comfortably fit an adult who is 5' 9" med. Build. Cot would be okay for a child. Mattress was not comfortable. I needed for an aide who stays with my grandmother at night in a nursing home. Disappointed

Thought it would be wider than it was! If you buy this bed you better not try to turn over on your side, you will be on the floor like my guess was!

Needs to be little wider.

Very uncomfortable needs a better mattress

Was broken and mattress pad was ripped.

Very flimsy and poorly built. Would not recommend this product.

Don't buy! bad quality, broken soon!

very slippery and very small
