I bought this for camping and slept on it last night to test it out, it's awesome. Instead of a pad I used an extra sleeping bag and it was the most comfortable camping bed I've ever had, better than the last hotel bed I stayed in. :thumb: In the reviews someone is concerned with the ends / assembly, I found that if I sat on the floor and used my foot to brace the cot when putting the 2nd end on it was a non-issue. The actual width of what you sleep on is +/- 30" wide.

For those who haven't tent camped on a cot, this absolutely makes a HUGE difference. I bought some cots about 8 years ago, and haven't slept on the ground since. Not only does it keep you off the ground, so you stay more comfy, but it typically will keep you warmer since you are not in contact with the ground. Will also keep you dry if your tent floor leaks a bit. Most of the time I just utilize it without a tent and sleep under the stars.

This is very similar to the one I use:
