For our 4th competition this year (which is this coming Saturday) I finally went and got a cot. Previously I have been sleeping on my zero gravity clone chair. It does the job, but I have been wanting something that will get me better sleep. Not necessarily more sleep, just when I do fall asleep that it is more comfortable.
The first few comps we were so geeked up and excited the sleep wasn't a big concern, but (and this is probably common I guess) now I want to try and get more shut eye to be somewhat more rested on Saturday so I can drink more beer......oh and also be more rested for the cooking and turn ins .
Got this cot at bass pro. It is their XL cot and is 84" x 36". I'm not really a big guy at 5'11" 175, but I wanted the bigger one so I can turn over. I was surprised how big the thing was. Seems like each comp we add something new. I guess by this time next year I'll have an RV right??
I read some cots you need to stretch out and you can do it with sand bags or something heavy. So I put it up and grabbed the heaviest thing I could find, which is the dog. Might be a little excessive I know. Actually it was comfortable out of the bag so I don't think it really needs any stretching.
