Should I choose a sleeping pad or a cot for my sleeping setup?

Choose a sleeping pad when you want a padded surface, and choose a cot when you want a raised sleeping surface with a frame. Compare the Specs on each item page for dimensions and height before you decide.

Do sleeping pads come in different sizes, like Regular and Long?

Yes, some sleeping pads are offered in multiple sizes and list full dimensions. For example, the L.L.Bean Adventure Futon Sleeping Pad lists Regular at 72"L x 25"W x 2.5"D and Long at 78"L x 26"W x 2.5"D.

How can I tell how much space a cot takes up when it is stored?

Check the folded or closed dimensions in the Specs section on the item page. For example, the Maine Military Camp Cot lists folded dimensions of 9"H x 5"W x 43"L, and the Byer of Maine EasyCot lists closed dimensions of 6"H x 7"W x 40"L.

Where do I find the listed weight capacity for a cot?

Look in the Specs section for a capacity listed in pounds (lb). For example, the Maine Military Camp Cot is listed at 375 lb capacity and the Byer of Maine EasyCot is listed at 330 lb.

Where can I find care instructions for sleeping pads and cots?

Care instructions are listed on each product page, usually under Fabric & Care or Care. For example, the L.L.Bean Adventure Futon Sleeping Pad lists "Spot clean."
