Hey guys, I am looking for some input on cots for car camping. What have you used and loved/hated? I have tried all different kinds of air mattresses, and none of them seem to last. I am not super concerned with how small it packs up since this is for car camping. More interested in life of the product, and comfort.

I recently purchased a "heavy duty" cot off amazon for $80 that had wonderful reviews. I was very disappointed with their definition of heavy duty. The damn thing wobbled, and I weigh a third of what it's rated for.

Anyways, just looking for some feedback for what y'all use. Any pictures are a plus. Thanks!
 
Buy a surplus army cot. They are awesome. You (almost) can't break them. You'll probably pay from $45-$55. Call and army/navy surplus shop near you.

I got mine when AO was doing some amazing clearance sales. They had used cots that were ripped and stuff. I bought the nylon canvas from online and put it on the cot. It's super tough.
