Side by Side Comparison of: TMS vs Coleman

I loved this cot bed! I bought two for camping this year and they were great easy set up and take down. I had no stress point with my air bed cover so I'm not sure what people were talking about I didn't have that experience. I also used them when we stayed the night at family's house I've had no negative reviews at the moment. I thought they were comfortable to sleep in they weren't over the top noisy when moving and making yourself more comfortable at night. They were like any other air bed "noisy". I did have to fill them up with more air the following day but they didn't leak a rediculous amount. Overall great buy I would highly recommend and the storage bag it comes in is such a great convenience to be able to roll them where you need to. They're not that much bulkier then abnormal canopy. They also come with a air pump that uses 4 size D batteries. Great buy!

We are seriously obsessed with this bed for camping! Might be my all time best camping splurge. The comfort blows our old double-high instant bed out of the water!We only added air every couple of days, as the canvas sling of the cot gives perfect support and you don't feel like you're "bottoming out" like you do with an air mattress on the ground.

My husband is a combat vet and refuses to sleep on the ground for fun. I hate his army cots and would rather sleep on a thick yoga mat.... We compromised.I chose this particular cot because:-there are no horizontal bars under your body. Just one verticle one inbetween two people (although if it's just one person in center of the mattress, you dont feel it). And it helps with rolling into the center.-The way this folds allows a ton of storage under the cot.-the mattress is zipped into place and does not move.-you can replace the mattress down the line if you need to.-the height is very easy to get in and out of, I think my senior visitors would prefer this over my tall guest bed-although heavy, I could travel with this when I know I'd have to stay on someone's couch.-hallelujah, a bag that is big enough to fit all parts and you dont have to do origami (it's the small things folks!)I had this on my watch list for over a year and watched the prices go from $89-$179. I nabbed it for under a hundred. I highly, highly, highly recommend. Even for the occasional user, you'll be very glad you have this!

I like camping but I hate sleeping on hard ground with rocks in your back. I have tried different mattresses and cushions but they just take a slight edge off and you end up rolling off of them in the middle of the night half the time. I was going to scout camp for a week with my son and there was no way I was going to spend it on the ground each night. I first was looking at normal cots to use with just a pad and sleeping bag, then I found this new glorious addition to my camping setup.It is not the actual size of a normal queen mattress but it is not far off either. The battery operated pump that comes with it makes blowing this up a breeze and had it up in a matter of minutes. The pump can also be used to suck out all of the air at the end of your trip as well. I was a little hesitant about sleeping on the frame of this thing because it doesn't look very sturdy. But dint have any problem holding my 250 lbs and my son for the week. I wouldn't go jumping on it or anything but it seemed sturdy and didn't have any issues.The only downside with the mattress was the fact that it looses air with use, but I have never met any one of these things that doesn't loose air. Every night before bed I would just top it off with the pump for a few minutes and it was good to go. It is obviously not as comfortable as a normal bed but it was the best camping experience I have ever had. Didn't wake up with sore bodies and with the sheets and blankets we added, it was almost just like home.

This is the most AMAZING camping bed I've ever witnessed, and I've camped my entire life. Seriously.I've backpacked. I've glamped. I've gone to music festivals, art festivals, burning man regionals... I've used/witnessed/borrowed/begged/not-quite-stolen everything under the sun/moon/stars. This beats all of them.Why, you ask?Not only is it up off of the ground, so my 36 year old disabled ass doesn't have to cry every time I get in and out of my sleeping bag, my suitcase FITS UNDERNEATH THE BED. What?!?!?! Under bed storage. Bam!Then, there's the cot itself. Yeah, there's a bar running down the middle. That's for extra support. Not a huge deal for me, because I'm 5'4 and even though I weigh an impressive 213 for my height, I fit seamlessly into the little pocket between the rods. Mmmmmmnnnn... comfy. And all this is without even adding in the INCLUDED AIR MATTRESS.WHAT?!?!?!??! There's an included air mattress?????? Yep.But... won't that just fall off of the cot? Or Fail like Every Other Air Mattress and Ruin the Most Awesome Cot FOREVER??????That's where the Genius of Coleman comes in, kids. See, it's not built in like some Cots with Air Mattresses you'll see out there. Coleman did it the smart way. They added a pocket made out of super soft microfiber material that feels like your favorite Grandmammy's sheets and zippers open to slide the PREMIUM COLEMAN AIR MATTRESS WITH DOUBLE AIR LOCK MAGICALNESS inside and then you ZIPPER IT SHUT AGAIN, keeping the double zippers close to the air lock just in case you'd like to, I don't know, adjust the firmness of your mattress later on in your stay because IT DOES NOT LEAK (much) ((at least, not after the first night. that's any mattress, though)).But wait. There's more.HOW CAN THERE POSSIBLY BE MORE?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!YOU'VE ALREADY GIVEN US SO MUCH, COLEMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MotherLoving Side Tables, Batman.They snap on right where you want them. With holes for all of your beverage holding needs. And just enough room for a kindle, a phone, and an adult beverage. I would know. And you know what else I know? My survival kit slid Right Underneath the Table!BAM!!More floorspace!!You have no idea how life changing this bed has been for me.And I've only gotten to take it on one trip (so far). I'm taking it out again next week. I'm already excited about it.

Easy set up, queen size fitted sheet fits well. Holds my husband of 220 and I very nicely.You will enjoy it

took it camping , overall its a great cot, slept two adults comfortably , with an occasional 5 year old in the middle. I didn't even use the blow up mattress that came with it , I have a mat that fit perfect so I can comment on the air mattress.the rolling case that comes with it is a nice touch .the cons:- its a bit bulky and heavy.- unfolding is tricky in a tent- no latching on any of the legs make difficult to move , it just wanst to fold up.

Fine bed, but the pump needs a better nozzle it does not fit well, it is a powerful air pump and bring your own 4, D batteries, but the tip of the plastic insert does not go into the opening well enough to stay in there when you are pumping air into it, you have to stay pushing it in the whole time. It has to pumped daily, because the plastic stretches. Not a problem though it tops off well, but no gauge to tell how much is in it or how much air you should have. It is really nice that it is off the ground and you can store stuff under your bed. It takes queen sheets with room to spare.

the cot itself is great, plenty of room for me and my partner. weekend of camping to test it out and i'm pretty satisfied. the only reason i give it 4 stars instead of 5, the air mattress we got was NOT leak proof in any way. every day before bed we had to re-inflate it because after just sleeping on it, the air had leaked out enough that i could feel the bars of the cot frame under my back.... NOT good for my back issues. will be replacing the air mattress with a futon mattress and memory foam padding in the future, but the frame itself is worth it.

FYI: I just received and "tested" in my house yesterday. I will try and update review after more use.PROS:Built sturdy and worth $130 (it's heavy, but that's a "PRO" in my book, might not be good for elderly or weak).Side tables are nice addition (I assumed they were 'gimmicky'). I'm surprised how well they work; held a 10lb dumbell! (although will probably bend metal if left for extended time). Very cool addition.Air mattress felt comfortable, filled up quickly; couple minutes at most. No instructions needed, very easy to set everything up.CONS:Pump nozzle does not fit snug into mattress hole. Therefore you must hold connection. Not too big of a deal since it fills quickly.Light stitching is very stressed at corners as mattress inflates inside of it, expanding. I'm confident thread seams will break with minor use over time. Easy fix though (imo), I will add some strong thread stitching to stress points.Overall, with a first impression and quick testing (1 night), I'm happy with my purchase. Only major flaw is thin stitching in corner sleeves as I can see those ripping with little use.

I purchased this item for use on a three night camping trip with my wife who suffers from back pain. It was extremely easy to set up and a real pleasure to sleep on the cot above the tent floor in comfort. The only issue preventing a 5 star rating was the weight of the cot itself. It comes in a travel case equipped with wheels, but lifting and carrying it will require some effort. The mattress itself inflates and deflates quickly with the provided pump. It held pressure throughout the trip. Also, the end tables proved to be a real convenient place to store items that you need close at hand when you're sleeping.

Heavy, solid construction was a surprise in the weight, but a comfort knowing that the cot itself isn't flimsy because of that. Pocket for the air mattress is easy to use and doesn't flop all over. Earlier review recommended inflating the air mattress, laying on it a bit, then leaving for a while to settle before refilling a touch more, this is a good method for making sure it's full as able. Hopefully the air mattress will last as long as the cot feels like it will, but with it not directly attached, means that you can replace as needed without replacing the entire unit. Folds open easily, and closed just as easily. Feet well designed to negate any worry that it would rip through a tent floor, and the side tables are a convenience one didn't realize they needed, but appreciate once there. A great option for a couple who don't want to fret over weight restrictions as it has a high weight limit, the height makes it easy to get up on cool nights, so ideal for an older camper or someone who may have knee or back issues but still wants to enjoy the outdoors.

I had high hopes for this. While it's easy to put together and the side tables make it better, it's stupid loud. As in I couldn't sleep because every time myself or my husband moved it was so loud it woke me. The concept is good, the execution is flawed. I was hoping to find a solution to how loud it is but have yet to discover it. I'd rather get another queen double high and risk another hole.

This is comfortable. But VERY heavy and we got a hole after one use. It appears the airbed got pinched in the folding cot. We patched it (had to buy a patch kit separately) and it works fine. But we won't be storing the air bed with the metal frame anymore.

The. Ed is great for keeping you off the ground but...if you move at all during the night the whole bed squeezes and makes terrible noise. It woke us up everytime

Compact, relatively light, great price (vs outdoor store prices), relatively comfortable given the alternatives. Biggest gripe....it's so noisy! Any little movement seems to make the liner for the mattress rub and makes a horrible racket all night long. The cot is amazingly sturdy and doesn't squeak or anything, just the mattress and fabric.

The bed arrived in great time, but only had one side table. The visitors we needed it for were due in in a few days, so we got it set up, inflated and stretched out, and made up. They reported that it was really comfortable to sleep on ... BUT ... it was so noisy to move around on, they woke each other and themselves up turning over and/or getting up during the night. What a disappointment, especially considering the hassle and cost to package it back up and return it. But it did sleep well, we're told, and didn't lose air during the night. We switched out using the included somewhat wimpy battery-operated pump for an electric one we already had, which inflated the bed much more quickly.

Bought the queen size...not true to size about 6 inches shorter and 3 inches narrower...not a big deal since just using occasionally for company...

Not pleased at all. The pump (with brand new batteries) died in a week, possibly because I had to fill up the air mattress twice per night. It did NOT hold air well at all. It was practically empty 1/2 way through the night so I bought a thick mattress pad so I wouldn't be laying on the bars of the metal stand. I definitely would not purchase this cot again nor would I recommend it to anyone who thinks it will last through a night. We are not heavy people so for anyone who is, good luck. Dissappointing at best.

Won't hold air, makes tons of noise every time you move and very uncomfortable. Sorry I purchased it.

In theory, I like the idea of a bigger cot-styel bed, but after a few nights on this one, it became apparent there is a design flaw. The bar down the center (even on perfectly level concrete) is slightly higher than the edges, so you end up rolling toward the edges during the night.

The good: The base opened up in seconds and filled out to its full size for me to place the mattress.The bad: The mattress doesn't get firm and deflates quickly. The combination of frame and mattress is a challenge placing back in their wobbly bag.

Wanted to love this sooo much. First few hours are bliss, but mattress lost air. Also bed is very loud, fabric on the cot moves on the metal bars and makes a pretty loud noise. We slept on it for 4 nights camping and we had to blow it up again each night before bed. Bummer.We will try and find any holes and repair, crossing our fingers that will help.

This has to be the noisiest air mattress ever! You can't move without it making very annoying sounds. The frame is great. The mattress itself didn't last at all so I ended up buying a better quality mattress to use with the frame.

Less comfortable than a regular air mattress. If you like bars jabbing you in the back, then this is for you! Like sleeping on mattresses that lose air quickly? Again! For you :)

If you toss and turn the cot system is super loud. The mattress does not fit in the zipper sheet that is attached to the cot. When the mattress gets full it forces the zipper open eveey time. The mattress also has to be refilled after each night. Cheap mattress obviously defective. Would rather have spent the $100 plus dollars on a more expensive air mattress.

This is the second one of these I have purchased. The first one is fine, this one has some defect in the air mattress. It leaks pretty quickly and halfway through the night you are touching the bars on the cot.

Uncomfortable and cheap. Save your money!

Popped first use after pulling it out of casing and packing up camp stuff to go something must have knicked it.

not at all what you think it is. Very cheap. Better off buying a high quality air mattress and putting it on th ground. Frame is too small for bed
