which size is best atop a double wide camping cot so we don't feel the middle bar, but still optimizes for packing size? Queen or Full and 2" 3" or 4"

I would definitely go with the 4 inchdepending on the size of the bed the Queen its a regular queen size you might want to go with the full so it doesn't hangover

We have a 2" on our couch hide a bed and can still feel the support bar....so I would say at least the 3". As far as full or Queen.. I guess that would depend on the width of your cot. Hope that helps at least a little!

Because of the bar, I would go with either the 3" or 4". I bought the queen for our full size over the cab bed so I could trim if needed. We did not have to trim b/c we like the extra around the sides when using the queen size sheets. If prices is not a problem, go for 4" queen but I don't know how easy it will be to pack. Hope this helps.

I bought the 2 inch for a regular mattress, however, for a camping cot I would think the thicker would be more beneficial.

Not odd. Queen and full are very close to each other, within 2". Many Sheets and blankets say full/queen

I have a queen size mattress and when it's deflated, rolled up and to be packed away it's about the size of two standard pillows stacked on top of each other. The twin has got to be smaller than that...probably the size of a good, filled seeping bag when it's rolled up.

Two answers, Elizabeth. (1) I'd be afraid that with an overlap of 4.5" on each side (39" mattress, 30" cot), someone might tip over. Plus, someone heavy might overload a cot with a real mattress on it. (2) I've found that it's very comfortable with just a pad or even a sleeping bag. Try it with a yoga mat or something similar first. If that doesn't work, try a blow-up designed for camping. I think you'll find it just fine for a night or two.

It may be a little big for a full size bed -- don't they sell a full/double size? Anyway, as far as I would be concerned -- YES, I'd go ahead and get the queen if they had no double, because sheets these days are so big they'd have no problem covering the excess pad. It IS an absolutely WONDERFUL mattress pad/protector.

I fit a queen size with no problem. It does fill the tent, end to end, with about 18" to spare on the side. With a full size mattress, you should have more.

I bought a twin size, and it measured one inch less in both width and length than the mattress. I assume that the same is true for a full/double.

Depends on the size of the air mattress. I have had two Alps Mountaineering Lightweight Cots in this tent for a weekend. There was very little free space for gear. Twin air mattress maybe a full. With a full I think it will be tight quarters.

46" x 24" This cot has a removable cover... easy to keep clean.With the "X" legs, I love the fact that there are no bars that are directly against a child's body. It was a perfect purchase for our 2-5 yr old grandchildren. (I got another one in pink) :)

Hi. Sorry that would be hard for me to answer because I put queen size on my sons beds that are fills. So already a bit bigger for a full.

The full size fits full size...queen fits queen..twin fits twin etc...just be sure to order the one that fits your mattress

I put a 4" trifold on one of mine for my guest and he liked it. I haven't stacked them. I use them as two separate individual cots when guests come.

Ashley , it is a little smaller than "twin". It's the same size as a barracks cot . Just big enough for my camper van . Good quality , has'nt lost any air over a year !

Mine is two inches thick. As far as cots go it is pretty comfy. However, it does still have that slight dip in the middle and you can still somewhat feel the middle support. But overall, much better than the hard ground.

I got the 86"X35", but if I had to choose over again, I'd get the bigger one. When I wanted to roll over, there just didn't seem like there was enough room. I'm 5'8" and about 150 lbs.This size was OK, but if you have the room in your sleeping bag, I'd get the bigger one. I am an inexperienced camper.

I would say 3 with room to spare, 4 snug, 5 pretty tight if possible at all. I'm basing that off of:Having gone camping with four people total. Two people shared a queen bed, and the other two slept on the ground. Assuming a queen bed is about the same as two twins, and with the room we had to spare, I'd say you can get 4 twin beds in there, maybe 5.

We fit two full size beds in our tent the other weekend. However we bought an aerobed from Costco and that takes up over half the tent now, King size tho
