These cots have been such a great thing to have around. If you have young children, and you have a little space to store them, these can be great for sleepovers, nights when a scared little one needs to sleep on parents' floor, the first couple nights before and after a move, camping, etc. We have used them a lot over the year, and we still really like them. In a pinch, they also make an uncomfortable mattress bearable until you can get a more permanent solution.
