Side by Side Comparison of: Trademark Innovations vs Coleman

sturdy no problems, I'm 5'7'' and 160lbs Height just fits I don't use extender bars

Kinda hard to put together at first but once it gets some use its easy. Very comfortable

I got two of these so my husband and I didn't have to sleep on the ground any more when we go camping. Our dog is afraid of air mattresses so that's not an option for us. These are amazing. Sturdy, easy to fold out and in (tricky to get the last connector in, because the whole thing has tension on it, but you just gotta push it) tall enough to put bags under and it's AMAZING to get up in the morning, sit up, put your feet on the floor, and stand up.Tips: put a cozy blanket underneath you otherwise you'll wake up with your top half warm (blanket) and your bottom half (cot) cold.you're not gonna be able to snuggle, really, because the bars in between the two, but a yoga mat bridging the two helps with knees and ankles. Also in the yoga mat zone, if you need padding (we were fine without it) a yoga mat fits *perfectly* on theseSTATS: I'm 260 my husband is 240, and our dog is 110lbs (English Black Lab) I slept in one, he slept in the other, the dog kind of bridged the gap or slept on my feet. no wobbling, all the connectors are great. I have recommended this cot to at least 3 people.

This is a great cot. It is a standard size so my 6' man does have his feet hand over the edge a little bit but we do not want to lug around the big and tall version so this one will work. It is easy to assembly, sleeps well and comes with a very nice carry bag.

He was right on in saying that. This cot is my second one and they are very comfortable to sleep on. Very easy to set up and use. Just the right amount of room to switch sides on in the middle of the night when you rollover. One cannot go wrong in buying this cot for camping. Easy to setup, easy to clean and easy to put away@@!! One Fine Product.

The taught canvas gives good support. It is long enough for a very tall person. If used for camping, you will be far enough from the ground to avoid dampness and crawly things. The cot is high enough to sit on, without your knees hitting your chin. It is easy to assemble and comes with carry/storage canvas bag. A great buy.

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.

Great for the price, sets up easy and not too bad for comfort.

We bought this for our son to sleep on when we have guests. It is perfect size for him but the end bars are incredibly hard to assemble and unassemble.

Very comfortable to sleep on for a cot. Much better than sleeping on the floor! It was very hard to stretch it out to set it up at first, but once I finally got it set up I left it up and would sit on it occasionally for about a week. That stretched it enough that it was much better to set up when I needed it and it doesn't sag. Easy to set up and take down and even put back in bag!

Purchased this for my son for scouting. Nice product goes together easily except the cross members at each end. I can't even put them both on, so no way my son could. We are able to put one through the material, but on the other end just put the brace across without going through the material. This kind of makes me upset being an engineer that no one bothered to try this out and make the necessary changes.Good product for now hopefully last him for many years.

I slept on this cot for many months because I had no bed. It was a big upgrade from sleeping on the floor for me.I like to combo this cot with my sleeping pad and if you're in favor of harder bedding, or just used to your sleeping pad, your setup suddenly becomes the whole package.It did worry me that I would break the cot from shifting around too much in my sleep. You definitely can't move up and down without knowing in your head your next swing will be your last. There's no space for you to turn, but if you wanted that, you wouldn't get a cot.

I ordered three of these for an upcoming camping trip. They were shipped promptly and arrived without any mishaps.I have only assembled one of these cots so far and it was a little tricky getting the last bar into place but leveraging against the legs helped. The width of the cot is nice, I turned about in every sleeping pose and didn't feel at all cramped. The length was unexpectedly long, it will definitely fit someone in the 6' range. With three of these I just hope there will still be room for my gear in the tent. :)They arrived very compact in colour matching casesMy only concern with the cot would be that the legs wobble a little top-to-bottom so the entire cot shifts.I would think down the road with the stress of weight shifting the joints they will eventually get looser and could become bent or broken.All in all I feel they are worth the money and I would definitely recommend these.

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.

It works. I am not sure how long it will last.

I had this cot for 3 years. Used it 5 or 6 times. It is pretty easy to set up and comfortable to sleep in. The cloth will stretch out over time. This past camping trip when laying down for the night one of the side rails bent in the middle rendering the cot unusable. I am 40 pounds under the limit. Overall it is what i expected from a budget cot.

Like others here - takes either the arms of Hercules or special tools to mount spreader bars. WOW! Not sure about longevity yet but I can see potential problems if heavier folks don't proceed with caution. Don't let the kids play on them either. Watch your fingers opening or closing. I can imagine a big blood blister ruining the next camping trip. Whew! I have a simple mod to ease assembly in mind. If it works, may post here.

It is just ok. Better if you don't move it. Must be very careful with it if you want to travel. Put it on top of everything or something will bend it. Mine has travelled twice. Once in a boat, once on an atv. Both did quite a bit of damage while my friend's more expensive heavy duty cot was just fine. If I had it to do over, I would have paid more for something stronger. If you are only car travelling and can be very gentle with it, then I would say buy it. It was nice and comfy to sleep on.

I got this for my son to use occassionally and when we got it, its quick to set up however the last cross bar is a little difficult to get in place. Little extra effort and we did so. Also, where the two side bars come together - they are bowed a bit causing the middle bars to not lie flat against one another. There were little pieces of black plastic coming off the bottom of the center bars - not sure where from but it was quite a bit. Also, this cot is noisey - you move, it creeks. Just be forewarned - if you're going to be sleeping on it near others, they'll hear you everytime you move in the night. Other than that - very cool cot - its longer than we thought it would be.

If you need a product such as this Folding Cot quickly , you might want to go to a local sporting goods store instead. This particular merchant did not ship until day 7 after the purchase, which I was very unhappy about. Someone there was quite nice, though, and refunded the shipping cost, so let's give them an A for Customer Service just the same. I was disappointed that the one I received was BLUE instead of the BLACK as represented in the photograph--- but it was easy to set up. Others mentioned experiencing difficulty with setting it up (???) but the Portable Folding Camping Bed & Cot was no problem at all for myself to set up. Ha Ha... Of course it arrived the day after I returned from my trip, but I am sure I will have some use for it sometime in the future. Darn... I really wanted a black one, though.

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 aluminum fame is fine but it has plastic "joints" where you add the support bars and they have worn out and fallen off

It bent on the middle joint on the 6th use. Totally unusable now as it lists to one side. I weight 160, so that was 100 pounds below the posted weight limit. The poles are aluminum and it bent very easily as I swung my legs over the side to get up. Very disappointing. "Maybe" it would work for a kid who weight like 50 pounds. Otherwise, don't spend your money.

It's made up of aluminum, very easily bent and dinged. Great for someone lighter such as a child. The material is very weak and tore from my son's zipper. If you don't patch it on the spot it will tear a big hole deeming your entire cot useless as the material can't be switched out.

New review - cots made of light weight aluminum. Poor construction where end pieces fit into longer side bars - cheap plastic attachment. We now have a cot that one of the side rails bent and can't be repaired. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

It's incredibly difficult to assemble. The fabric is EXTREMELY tight on the frame, needed to have two guys squeeze it in. Unfortunately for me, do not always have two men available to do the work!! :(

This cot was bought for an eight year old house guest. It has never been used outside, and has been put together and disassembled four times throughout two weeks.After this light use, by an eight year old significantly under the weight limit, there are already small holes in the canvas material. The cot is also so shaky that at first he didn't even feel comfortable on it.The cot is assembled like it was made to be disposable. After seeing how wobbly it was with the child on the cot, there is no way I would feel comfortable laying in this cot, let alone taking it camping like I had planned. Don't waste your money!

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?

Terrible product. The end pieces were misalligned and I couldn't get the end bars on to give the cot its necessary support. One of the ends was off by at least an inch from fitting on it. By the time I realized it didn't fit it was too late to request a refund and return. Very disappointed. I'd give it no stars if I could.

Durable. But the bars you have to connect on the ends are crap! First time assembling it the plastic clips are gouged to hell. I can't see this lasting too long. And one of the most uncomfortable nights ever!

This is a cheap piece of crap. Avoid at all costs. The frame bent on the second night of use (folded back on itself). The legs tore a hole in the floor of my tent and the end caps (that hold the cross bar) look like they're about to fall out.

I purchased this as a birthday gift, for my son, back in March. Unfortunately, he hadn't had an opportunity to use it until this last weekend. My son weighs 180lbs, well under the weight limit of this product. He was lying on it, trying to sleep, when the side bar gave way, bending, and he ended up on the cement floor. He didn't even get to sleep on it one time and because he didn't get to use it right away, I can't exchange it or get my money back! I should have trusted other negative reviews I read and not purchased this item! My son was very excited to have a cot for camping this summer, but thanks to shoddy materials and cheap products, he'll be back on the ground. Do not waste your money on this!

This item might be OK if you just gently get into it and have a separate chair to sit on. I weigh 220 lbs. When I sat on the side rail it doubled so I tried sitting directly over the middle leg on another cot and the cross-piece metal plate bent. My daughter had a similar experience. I cannot recommend this item for anyone weighing anywhere near the rated 260 lb. and it is probably not suitable for much lighter people. If you buy it, do not even think of sitting on it to put on shoes or other items.

Trademark Innovations Aluminum Portable Folding Camping Bed & Cot - Product was purchased new from: Service Speed & 1 Year Warranty!. Product arrived dented, slightly bent, and scratched (see image). It is possible that something horrific happened during shipping, but the box and packaging did not see damaged. Stress lines suggest the damage will progress to full fracture. I noted several other reviews of customers who received a damaged product, or product quickly deformed after only a couple uses. Clearly the product will not last. Currently the product still functions. I uploaded an image.Update - product completely failed along one of the edge bars . I am 150 lbs, never stepped/stood on it and always tried to be careful when getting on and getting off because of previous bend.

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
