Abstract: The present invention provides a cot assembly that includes a frame, supporting corner pieces and bedding material. The frame is preferably of a one or two piece construction and is shaped into a perimeter defining an interior area. Corner pieces support the frame above an external support surface. The bedding material extends across the interior of the frame and into the corner pieces without any gaps between the material, the frame and corner pieces, thereby protecting against injury which could otherwise result from the presence of such gaps. The continuous frame maintains the cot's rigidity while the corner pieces lower the cot's profile for stacking. The cot includes at least a number of corner pieces corresponding to the corners of the polygonal shape. A pedestal extends downwardly from each corner piece to engage the floor or other supporting surface.

Abstract: A cot has a sleeping surface that includes bedding material extending between members of a frame. The frame includes a number of rods connected with a number of comer connectors such that the frame forms the shape of a polygon. Each corner connector has a pedestal extending downwardly to engage the floor and support the bedding material above the floor. The corner connectors have a housing and a pair of coupling portions extending from the housing and an inwardly projecting portion. The bedding material extends within the cot frame such that no openings or gaps are formed between the bedding material and the frame. The cot also has a mechanism for maintaining and adjusting the bedding material surface in a taut condition.
