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.
