Aerostich carries that as well. Pricey but beautiful at 2:00 AM on the floor of the tent...

There was just one of the cots that Fast 7 posted on ADV for $135 with the highrise kit. Killer deal but was sold before I saw it. Sold pretty darn quick.

I went with a themorest size XL for   $160 on Amazon.      Now to see if it fits in a tent.       I am thinking 10+ nites  in July

I use a Exped Synmat UL 7.

I slept on it for 6 weeks in a row once, man that sucked but still better than the ground.

Amazon has several selections. I give them way to much money.

Dave you need to let us know how you like it after a some nights. They don't take up much more room then an inflatable mat.
Are you planning a trip in July?

We use Luxury Lite/thermorest cots  with an Exped or Nemo mat on top. It is a  comfortable setup. We prefer this setup rather than staying in many of the motels.

The cot on ADV Rider for $135 is still available. The guy who posted that he would take it, added to the post and said he changed his mind.

Yes Dan   Me and couple blokes from Noda Cota be going on a walk about on KLRs   Bighorns to Moab with a lunch break in Conarado. 
Comfort is first so cot seems cool.   
Safety is third so I scored a pair of Mark and Bonnie boots
Looking good is second so I am modifying a plastic lawn chair with a back and armrests to fit over the stock seat.            Which is better green or tan ?

Comin through this way, Dave? We got lots of room to camp, or we have 3 extra beds plus the camper if you wanna cheat.

Hey NDave. Not sure if you know this but Moab is frickin HOT in July. Pack a swamp cooler on that KLR.

I've had this for a couple years and have 0 complaints.  Set up/tear down in 3 minutes, lightweight, durable.  Pricey yeah, but you only cry once.
