what size of pad should I get for this tent cot?
2048170
I have used both, closed cell foam sleeping pads. Thicker than the lightweight, backpacker versions. Also used thinner air mattresses....I prefer the additional foam pad over the thin air mattress...Refer to the COT you buy specs for interior size in inches. Buy or cut a pad to fit....I cut one...

There is already a pad included with the one I bought. Are you talking about extra padding because yours should also have a pad with it. My husband says it comes with a firm, rubber pad,and he just used a pad from a cot we already had. Hope that helps.

You can pretty much use any of the pads they are mostly a standard size. I ordered the: Summer Infant Contoured Changing Pad Amazon Frustration Free Packaging when I got the cover and it fits great.

I bought the pad which makes this cot sleep like a bed. It's not necessary though especially with a sleeping bag. The cot is very high quality.

A 12x18 worked fine for us, just enough for the tent and a little more clearance. If you want clean space around it probably a 12x20.

It'd be a snug fit I imagine lengthwise, and I'm not sure what that would do for the tents longevity though. I own the cot and the tent and if you want to use the tent on the cot be forewarned that the rain fly that comes with the tent does not hang over the sides of the cot, causing rain to pool onto the cot when it rains. Personally, I'd use the pad under the tent, as it was intended and use my Teton sleeping bag inside the tent.

Depends on your cot length & if you set it up across the back or back to front. As the footprint is 7x8, it is wider side to side then it is deep (front to back).My REI Comfort cot does press against the front / back when orientated that way (last camping trip) with the legs in the lowest position. It it was against the back wall, it would barely touch the sides if at all, but I had to set it up front to back so we would not be stepping over my son's air mat when entering / exiting the tent.So with that, with it touching yes you could get some moisture on the ends of your cot. I did not notice anything, but my only trip with this tent was pretty dry conditions until it started snowing on the way home!

10x8 I'd say. Get something really light since it's just for rain and it will be folded over a rope. 50 ft of parachord make this set up a lot easier too, plus it's just nice to have when you're backpacking cross rugged country. I use my hammock when hiking the Cascade mountains since there are lots of trees to pick from.

I tried putting it in the tent & the zipper broke & I had to exchange the tent. The pad doesnt fit inside & doesnt seem to be designed to fit inside the tent. I read other reviews that said heavy rain will flow water down the tent & undernieth. The Pad cover seems moderetly water-resistant but to avoid getting the foam wet Im putting a rain tarp over the whole set-up when I go camping. I think the inadequate coverage of the Quick Tent`s rainfly over the cot/pad is what makes it so cheap. I dont mind since I plan on sleeping in it w/out the rainfly under a raintarp this Summer. Hope this helps

It depends on what you prefer. Ive gotten Mine down to about 8-10 diameter when rolled, 18-20 sounds like someone tried rolling when inflated...which is a bad idea. Its basically on your ability to remove as much air as possible Before stowing... I hammock camp tho so I need pads to keep warm from heat loss thru convection. However whan backpacking its more efficient to fold the pad upon itself a few times and shove against the back of the pack or at the bottom.. the roll method takes up too much valuable space in a pack. Hope this helps!

you should be able to put a normal size cot on the left and one on the right with plenty of room left in the middle of the tent as you step in to it through the door! We have a single coleman air mattress to the left and one to the right with a small table in the middle at the back of the tent, with about 8 feet or more between the two single air mattresses...You can take the dimensions of the tent and the measurements of your cot and see how much actual room you will have...We love this tent. It is plenty big for the two of us.

Thank you for your answer. We are looking for a large pad and just wanted to be sure before ordering, but was concerned when I saw 2 different measurements. Thanks again.

The small square 22 x 22 or 23 x23 fit this pad holder. I use underpads sold for people, Durasorb I think is the brand. I purchase them from a medical supply company.

Hi, Brian, it's a good sized pad, 13 1/2" x 19". I love it , it seems to keep me comfortable longer.

Not sure, it would depend on the size and length of the cot--my guess! is you could. I would measure the cot to the measurement of the tent. if it does, you may lose some head room; also this tent does not have a vent in the rain fly, and it needs one to move the stiff air around.

the dimensions say 9'x7' so anything larger than that would work well...we use a standard 10'x12' tarp. hope that helps!

I'm not sure how big cots are. It's snug inside for 1-2 people. A single inflatable matress should fit.
