ABSTRACT:
A cot having a frame that is configured so that one end, such as the head end of the cot, is recessed within the other end, i.e., the foot end of the cot, when the cot is folded. As an example, the legs of one end may recess into the legs of the other end. To this end, the bifold cot may include a head portion having a tapered section forming a narrowed head end. This narrowed head end, or a leg or legs associated therewith, is received within the frame (or associated legs) for the foot portion of the bifold cot when the bifold cot is folded. A trifold cot is also provided that also has an extension that may be folded against the head portion, and the extension and the head portion may be folded and recessed at least partly within the frame at the foot portion.
