That's certainly my depiction of a standard-issue U.S. Army bunk 50 years ago. When I think of cot, I see the canvas stretched on a folding wood frame.
Ruhtrax:
Boxers are kinna too roomy ...
I have no idea how to explain it,
It somehow lacks the feeling of "safety" than underwear ... .
westrim:
All this confusion confuses me. Nearly every hotel room I've been in had two beds, yet some speak like it's an aberration. Several hotel rooms I've been in had couches with fold away beds inside- I know because I was the lucky occupant. Such is travel with family. And yes it's technically chivalrous to offer to sleep on a cot instead of with a female friend you do not currently have any romance with, but that's like saying not catcalling someone walking down the street is chivalrous. It's just basic decency mixed with the remnants of patriarchy (since poor, fragile women don't get the cot while strong, manly men get the bed).
I also find the dancing around shipping more annoying than any actual shipping, especially since Jeph himself is putting so much focus on their relationship. It's only logical to speculate on whether he intends for this relationship to become a ship. To unfurl canvas. To slip out of drydock. To hit the water.
Is it cold in here?:

And a baby's bed would be a "crib"?

In my formative dialects, yes.
Everyone's missed how the Principle of Maximum Awkwardness could play out.
What could be worse than Claire passing out halfway through changing clothes, Marten having to tap on the door and ask whether she's all right, then have to decide whether to go in and check on her?
The only thing that could be worse would be if she woke up at that point.
bhtooefr:
In most hotels in the US, there's a mix of rooms with one king bed, and two queen beds.
If they had been put in a room with one king bed, then a rollaway bed or similar (or the couch) would be required.
Also, damn, Claire is cute: http://jephjacques.com/post/43488595021/asdfasdfasdfasdfasdf-so-cute-asdfn-dsfgsdgjl
