Note that the height is 24.8 inches (63 cm) so it is a bit higher than an ordinary cot. But I would always add something extra to avoid damages. To start with the feet, they are wide and you should have no issues with the tent floor. Using this free-standing hammock in a tent You might want to check this KingCamp Ultralight Folding Camping Cot Hammock if you would need something lighter and more compact.
Note that the packed size is 35.4 x 7.1 x 5.9 inches (90 x 18 x 15 cm), so it is quite compact and narrow, but clearly you need a car for transportation.
#TOPNOTCH HAMMOCK PORTABLE#
Regarding the weight, it is around 19 lb (8.6 kg), they describe it as portable and this is so, but you would not want to carry it long distances. Regarding the bed size, you have (L x W) 70.9 x 33.1 inches (180 x 84 cm), so it is quite wide, but the length is less impressive. Regarding the capacity, this hammock/cot is quite modest, the official capacity is 250 lb (113 kg). Observe also that they build it in two different colors, red and blue, the latter is shown below. The pictures above show its integrated head pillow, you need it because the bed is quite short. The fabric is a premium-grade soft nylon taffeta, they do not provide details about its denier value. This is useful to keep your belongings clean and off the ground. You have a unique and patented design that includes a bonus storage mesh underneath the bed. So you can use it anywhere and this is what makes it different from a classic hammock that needs trees to attach it on and to sleep off the ground. This is a self-supporting and freestanding construction and this is why I have included it in my list of portable folding hammocks built in the same style. So when you are on the bed it gets the shape of a hammock: This is how it looks with somebody in the bed. The structure is rigid and it does not swing as you would expect from a true hammock.īut on the other hand, there are no side bars that you normally have in a cot. As you see, there are spreader bars at the two ends, so this is very different from a hammock.
This structure looks like a hybrid between a cot and a hammock. The bed with its spreader bars should be added as shown in the picture: This is how the bed is attached to the frame. So the frame itself is indeed folding, you simply open it in seconds. The bed itself is with two end-bars and you wrap it as shown below, and then store both of the elements in the nicely designed carry bag that is included: The elements folded, and the carry bag. The frame folds as in the picture below, so it becomes narrow and a bit long. This is the folding frame with the storage shelf. There are two elements here, the frame (shown below) and the bed. In fact the structure could be described as collapsible. They use the words ‘folding’ and ‘hammock’ so I would address this first.
