It includes a self-inflating, edge bonded mat which slides into sleeve for additional warmth and comfort. We also use a "no squeak" aluminum frame with steel reinforced end bars to reduce cot movement and eliminate noise, which will let you sleep better. Store your gear in the storage loft attached under the cot so it is always close at hand. A carry bag is included to maximize the convenience of transport and storage.

Big Lux Cot
The Big Lux Cot with its self-inflating pad that fits in a pocket on the cot is as comfortable as sleeping at home. I am a big guy, 6' 2" and weighing between 265 and 270. On most cots, when I sleep on my back, my arms fall off the side of the cot, but not with the Big Lux. I have room for my arms. When I sleep on the ground, I use three sleeping pads and I am still not comfortable. With the Big Lux, I only needed the sleeping pad that came with it to be very comfortable. It folds up fairly small and is very sturdy, but is a bit heavy. When sleeping on it, it made almost no noise then I rolled over unlike most cots which groan with my weight. It was a great buy.
Won't Last
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.
Great product!!!
Although the cot is a bit heavy, this is due to its very sturdy construction, the cot is the most comfortable I have slept on. It offers ample room for even the larger framed people and the storage underneath is great to keep your things off of the floor. The inflatable mattress is great to use as it give you more comfort. Also tear down and set up is a breeze! This is a great buy for those who camp or for those who need an extra bed for guests at home.
