Enjoy a good night's sleep time and again with this remarkably comfortable Eureka camping cot. Designed to take the rough out of roughing it, the cot sports a combination aluminum and steel frame that's sturdy yet lightweight, along with a heavy-duty, 600D x 300D polyester fabric surface that's backed with PVC for added durability. As a result, the cot cushions your body far better than a sleeping pad, but is tough enough to hold up to heavy use through the years. The cot's earthy, dual-tone colors, meanwhile, coordinate beautifully with the Eureka camping chair. Best of all, the cot folds compactly when not in use and stores inside its own polyester carrying bag, making it a breeze to carry. The cot measures 82 by 19 by 32 inches (W x H x D), weighs 17 pounds, 10 ounces, and offers a weight capacity of 325 pounds. It's also backed by a two-year warranty.
About Eureka!
Though the exact year is unknown, Eurekas long history begins prior to 1895 in Binghamton, New York, where the company still resides today. Then known as the Eureka Tent & Awning Company, its first wares were canvas products--most notably, Conestoga wagon covers and horse blankets for nineteenth century American frontiersmen--as well as American flags, store awnings, and camping tents.
The company increased production of its custom canvas products locally throughout the 1930s and during the 1940 and even fabricated and erected the IBM "tent cities" just outside Binghamton. The seven acres of tents housed thousands of IBM salesmen during the companys annual stockholders meeting, which had since outgrown its previous locale. In the 1940s, with the advent of World War II and the increased demand for hospital ward tents, Eureka expanded operations and began shipping tents worldwide. Ultimately, upon the post-war return of the GIs and the resultant housing shortage, Eureka turned its attention to the home front during the 1950s by supplying awnings for the multitude of mobile homes that were purchased.
In 1960, Eurekas new and innovative Draw-Tite tent, with its practical, free standing external frame, was used in a Himalayan Expedition to Nepal by world renowned Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person documented to summit Mt. Everest only six years earlier. In 1963, Eureka made history during its own Mt. Everest ascent, with more than 60 of its tents sheltering participants from fierce 60+ mph winds and temperatures reaching below -20F during the first all American Mt. Everest Expedition.
For backpackers and families, Eureka introduced its legendary Timberline tent in the 1970s. Truly the first StormShield design, this completely self-supporting and lightweight backpacking tent became one of the most popular tents the entire industry with sales reaching over 1 million by its ten year anniversary.
Eureka tents have also traveled as part of several historic expeditions, including the American Womens Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I in 1978 and the first Mt. Everest ascents by a Canadian and American woman in 1986 and 1988. In recent history, tents specially
