ABSTRACT:
A nestable cot (C1) has a web (3) of material on which an occupant of the cot can lay. The web is attached to a frame (F) which includes a plurality of rods (R1-R4) one of which extends along each side of the web. End connectors (5) are provided for connecting respective ends of adjacent rods to interconnect the rods and complete the frame. Each end connector includes an elongate housing (7) having an opening (25, 27) at each end in which respective ends of adjacent rods are received. The cot is supported in an elevated position off the ground by a pedestal (33) formed intermediate the length of the housing. The pedestal projects inwardly from an inner face (19) of the housing and extends downwardly a distance sufficient to elevate the web of material off the ground. A pad (49) is attachable to the bottom of the pedestal. The cot can be sat upon another cot (C2) with the base (51) of the pad of the upper cot resting upon the upper surface (35) of the pedestal of the lower cot whereby the upper cot nests in the lower cot.
