Slumberjack® Cot Black / Olive Review

When I first used this cot it seemed excellent. The frame is very sturdy and the cot was comfortable. If I had written a review at that point I would have given it 5 stars. But the second trip I took the cover burst like a balloon. Really, I could feel it give a little, and by the time I could get off it there was a 4 foot long rip. It was then I started looking closely at the material of the cover - it is some rubberized material with a few threads in it - not a real canvas. And it has zero rip-stop capability. I tried to sew it but it was like trying to sew a balloon - it just doesn't work. The Slumberjack people say they will give me a new cover, but they never seem to have one in stock to send (for 4 months?). Only get this cot if you plan on using it once! My previous cot lasted 8 years.

Update Oct. 2009: The Slumberjack folks were bought out by another company which may explain the difficulty getting a new cover during the crossover. With the new owners I was sent the promised cover [actually, they sent me 2 covers.] Used it one month long trip with no problem yet. We will see how it lasts next year.

Product Description:
Enjoy a serious slumber while camping with family or friends with the Slumberjack cot. Available in Big, Big XL, and Big Lux sizes, the cot is made of PVC-free 600D by 300D polyester fabric that holds up to the most rigorous standards and tests. As a result, you needn't worry about your cot falling apart at the worst possible time. The cot's "no-squeak" aluminum frame, meanwhile, includes steel-reinforced end bars that won't bend even after years of use. And campers will love the mesh gear pocket that hangs under the cot, which helps keep your glasses, watch, or flashlight close at hand. Extra-wide and extra-long, each cot comes with a carrying bag for convenient transport and storage.
The three cot sizes vary slightly. The Big cot measures 82 by 19 by 32 inches (W x H x D) and offers a capacity of 350 pounds. The Big XL cot measures a larger 86 by 20 by 40 inches but offers less capacity at 300 pounds. Finally, the Big Lux cot includes a self-inflating, edge-bonded mat that slides into a sleeve in the rest area, where it offers additional warmth and comfort. Like the Big cot, the Big Lux measures 82 by 19 by 32 inches but offers a 325-pound capacity. All Slumberjack furniture products carry a lifetime warranty.
