Claim:
A portable and collapsible cot, comprising: a flexible planar surface layer; and leg members for both cross-bracing and supporting the planar surface layer over a ground surface, the leg members being moveable between an assembled position and a folded position, the leg members including: a first set of rods pivotably attached to one another for supporting a left side end of the cot that are moveable between a substantially crossed position while the cot is in the assembled position to a substantially parallel position while the cot is in a folded position, a second set of rods pivotably attached to one another for supporting a right side end of the cot opposite the left side end, that are moveable between a substantially crossed position while the cot is in the assembled position to a substantially parallel position while the cot is in the folded position, and vertical leg portions extending downward from each of the corners of the planar surface layer having an upper end that remains attached to each of the corners of the planar surface layer, and a bottom end which engages a corner footer when the cot is in the assembled position, and the bottom end disengages the corner footer when the cot is in the folded position; and bendable-snapable members for connecting the bottom ends of the vertical leg portions to the corner footers, where the assembled position fully supports weighted objects being placed on the planar surface layer, and the folded position has the cot in a collapsed position allowing the cot to become portable and easy to carry.
