Meet the Klymit Cedar Mesa Cot: Your New Camping Buddy

Camping is one of the best escapes, but let's be honest—sleeping on the ground can turn that dream into a nightmare pretty fast. The Klymit Cedar Mesa Cot is designed to fix that problem. Instead of wrestling with rocks and uneven ground, this cot lifts you off the earth and cradles you in comfort.

Easy Setup and Take Down

One of the biggest hassles with cots can be the setup. But Klymit has a patent-pending Easy Lever Lock system that makes assembling and tightening the cot a breeze. No wrestling with stubborn poles or confusing instructions. Plus, when it's time to pack up, the clever Collapse and Compact™ technology folds the oversized cot down to the size of a small briefcase. Talk about camping convenience!

Strong and Supportive Design

The cot's aluminum trapezoid frame and oval-profile tubing are not just for looks—they provide optimal strength and keep the fabric taut for excellent support. Whether you're an overachiever tossing and turning or a calm snoozer, this cot can handle it. And with a 400-pound weight capacity, it's built for most adventurers out there.

Comfort Features

The large, rounded feet are a thoughtful touch. They protect your tent floor from damage and keep the cot steady all night long. The 300D Polyester ripstop PU fabric is tough yet comfortable, so you get durability without sacrificing softness.

What Users Are Saying

One happy camper, Byron Goodman, shared, "I have searched for a cot that wasn't too long, but wide, and sturdy. My only two complaints are the weight, and length of time to setup. This is kinda a pain, but once setup it is very comfortable. I am also not worried about it digging into and tearing the tent floor. This is my first initial impression of the cot. After I've spent a few nights on it I'll update this. I am pairing this with their sleep pad, but I also have a Exped DeepSleep Mat 7.5 (Long extra wide) that fits on top perfectly. No more sleep issues when camping (I hope)."

The Downsides

No product is perfect. This cot is a bit on the heavier side, which might be a consideration if you're backpacking ultra-light. Also, the setup can take a little patience the first few times. But once you get the hang of it, it’s smooth sailing.
