I don't have it but there was a thread not too long ago about tent cots.

Fuzz and Spinal Tap swears by them...

Thanks Darius. If I was a little narrower I would consider that one. The one I was looking at is wider and supports a little more tonnage .    It also comes with a rainfly for when it rains. When I purchase wetsuits I am considered a grizzly . Working on it though.

I have one.. Used at Camanche for camping.. Very comfortable and easy to set up.. It'll take a lot of room in your trunk tho..
Don't be surprised if your friends do a prank on you by taking the whole thing and placing it somewhere weird like the girls bathroom.(that's what my friends did).

Get it. You'll love it. They are bulletproof, comfy, and easy to set up/tear down. Only down side I've found is that they do take up a lot of room in the back of the truck when packing everything.

Now if i can find one with a built in sleep anea machine.  .

Why did I see Pablo coming out of his cot ? Something about showing him his abalone shell ?

I was just in charge of set up not in suite entertainment

Yes I use mine for the tourney campouts.
Pros
You don't need a nice tent site to sleep. Concrete, asphalt, rocks, stickers and the back of your truck will all work as a place to set up your tent. Small footprint when sharing a campsite. Doubles as a cot. Up off the wet or muddy ground.

Cons
Big, bulky and heavy when transporting compared to a 2 or 3 person tent. Difficult changing clothes etc compared to a larger tent. Can't sit or stand in. Your legs hang out when dressing / undressing, which is a problem if it is raining. Builds up a lot of moisture inside when you're sleeping.
