Already Lasting Longer than the $60 Air Mattress

I've gone through several air mattresses in the last year, the most recent of which I decided to spend more to hopefully get better quality, which for $60 was apparently only two nights. Having given up on all hope of an inflatable anything ever working out, I decided to try for a collapsible camping bed.Not only does it take up less space than an air mattress, it's faster to get set up, stays rigid throughout the night (but not too rigid), and even collapses back into its back without any hassle whatsoever (try that with an air mattress). For $70, it seems like a pretty good buy.I've never used one of these before, so I'm not really able to compare it with products in its own line, however in comparison to an air mattress, this thing is phenomenal! Honestly though, although I'm sure there is better out there, I see absolutely nothing wrong with Marchway's cot.Major Pros: • Quick and Easy to assemble [the second time (See Major Cons)] • Quiet to sleep on, no creaking • Doesn't sink throughout the night • No uncomfortable pressure points • Actually collapses, and fits back into its bagMajor Cons: • Assembly requires a decent amount of upper-body strength, definitely not going to be able to be put together by a child or elderly person • No instructions in my packaging. It didn't take more than a few minutes to figure it out, but instructions would have been nice
