Looking for Answers about Ozark Trail Ozark Trail Camp Cot?

This cot has two bars at each end, nothing going accross in the middle.

the bars are at the ends, not where you lay

Has a bar on each end which protrude a bit further than I would have liked but needed to leverage the installation on assembly at a campsite. If you are tall, you will meet these end crossbars.

There are bars that go around the perimeter (like a picture frame), and those hold the canvas (cloth material) in place. However, there's nothing that goes down or across the middle to jab you in the back. I've been sleeping on this nightly for two weeks and have been really comfy!

There is not that nasty bar under your back if that's what you're talking about. There is a bar underneath the middle but it is U-shaped so you cannot feel it under your back :)

I found it quite strong (square tubing).

durable steel

Not flimsy - nice strong steel.

On the heavy side, not a backpacking item. 12-13 lbs in carrying bag.

The specs say 17lbs. - that seems accurate.

About 15 lbs.

6"x6"x3.5'

3 ft long, 7 in high, 5 in wide
