Mats, Cots, and Where to Get Them?

[Josiegirl]

Right now I have cheapie mats I bought at Walmart, but they're cracking and splitting. Time to invest in something longer lasting. I've been eying the cots they sell at Lakeshore but they're 50 bucks apiece. Is there any place I can get them cheaper or maybe a viable alternative altogether?
Thanks!!

Years ago I got 6 for $200 on ebay!

they were regular sized too, not toddler sized

I've seen them online through costco. I think they are $170 US for 6 and come with sheets.

I don't have them (I am waiting for them to come back in stock on the Cdn site) but anyone I've talked to with them likes them.

Keep an eye on craigslist and flea markets If you have time to wait. I have 11 cots and I spent a total of $50 for all of them

I would try this first as well. Just some advice though, if you see any on cl, act fast! Every time I found some, they were gone within minutes it seemed!

I got mine off discount school supply too & got sheets for them from ebay, from a work-at-home-mom who made them for about $5 a piece in different patterns.

I can tell you where NOT to buy them: http://www.butterflyschoolsupply.com/ I ordered from this place twice (I can't believe that I went back, but I believed the owners' story she gave about being late). Both times, I paid with Paypal, both times, I had to open a Paypal dispute after 44 days of not receiving product. They ignore you after they get paid, it will take MONTHS to receive product, IF you receive it at all (I have received NOTHING from my last order).

I can't believe that I am sharing that I was dumb enough to order from here TWICE!

this is what I use http://www.spacemakercots-rcs.com/cots.html I bought mine in 84 and they still work great I did have to replace a few covers because I stand mine on end to store. a friend stacks hers flat and they have shown no wear.

Do save money and get them unassembled. I have the folding ones my friend has the stacking ones.

ive been wanting cots to but Ive just been using sleeping bags for now. To me its not the price of cots but the shipping that sometimes makes them soo expensive!
