What, if any, kind of mattress could be placed on this cot? Thank you.

My son uses this cot and he doesn't use a mattress. He likes the feel of the cot just the way it is. Sorry can't help you with this but it's wide enough to place a small memory mat on it. Hope it helps.

I use,TETON Sports Camp Cot Pad by Teton Sports, it's a little pricey, tag says Item 131, Universal Camp Pad, made in China of Polyurethane Foam, about 1 1/2 inches thick, length and width are compatible to cots dimensions, the pad has a small pocket attached for valuables and it has the straps also attached, so you can roll it up into itself also,6 bungee locks attach to cot frame to prevent any movement of pad. It was purchased through Amazon.com.I am 69, and it provides some additional comfort. However, I think price out weighs value and you could do better.

I use a cabela's foam pad designed to fit their cots. It is about 2 inches thick, and it works perfectly.

The surface of the cot is 78 x 31 inches, and any mattress that is that size or smaller would work fine. I use an REI self-inflating pad and it works great. This thing saved my back and made me look forward to camping again!

I use a Coleman queen size air mattress and it works awesome. One person could easily sleep in this cot. The cot ids very sturdy and stable and would say that yes kids could crawl it .

Twin is probably the closest size. The mattress is not as thick as usual twin mattresses.

We used a bunky board at one time, and also just wood slats (make sure there are enough) and it worked just fine. Excellent mattress, but it's KEY to rotate it.

No - a mattress isn't necessary. (I think the manufacturer states specifically don't add anything to the set-up.) I used a Carter's bassinet sheet, and that worked perfectly. Other than that, you're good to go!

Hello, I would get a regular twin mattress. We put a plywood and a low profile box spring. If you put a bunkie board and a pillow top it might work. The only problem with a pillow top would be it might be to high and the mattress might make the child be even with the side rails.

I'm going to say no. We bought a double cot to keep us off of the ground, it's not quite a queen size, and it's hard to get it in the tent. We have just enough room on the sides to sit and put your shoes on. But, we love the tent, glad we bought it!

I'm not sure how big cots are. It's snug inside for 1-2 people. A single inflatable matress should fit.

Any mattress works for the bottom bunk, but for the top you dont want to have a mattress that has a pillow top on it

You will need some sort of foundation. Several things could work. You could put on top of older mattress or a piece of plywood.

You don't need a cot if you purchased this. It's basically a tent on top of a cot.It's heavy and the zippers did not work for me.

no base with mattress, the metal bases i looked at would work or there are some very nice wood bases. be aware this is a very tall mattress so you may want to pay attention to the height of the base.

I don't know if a better mattress can be used, but recommend at least a 2 in environmentally friendly memory foam topper (no toxic smell or VOC's) that makes this mattress quite comfortable, and easily folds up while on the bed.

Twin mattress works in ours. Love this bunk set! We have had it almost a year now!

No. There are many options. You will probably need a 4" mattress. And I believe you can find twin size memory foam mattresses as well.

I'd presume you'd need a twin size for a bunkbed mattress. It's made for a deeper mattress, but I think you could just fold more under and it should be fine. If I were going to put it on a matress that size, i'd probably just purchase some wide elastic and safety pin it to each side of the underside about 1/3 way down from the top and up from the bottom in two strips across (one top and one bottom) to hold it tight.

I put heavy blankets down for more comfort. If I used it as a bed more, I would get a memory foam in twin for it.
