It is easy to set up and impressive packing capacity and is also comfortable to sleep on. The cot's huge, wide base can hold people up to 6 feet tall and 300 lbs. Our testers found that it was stable on most terrains. It also comes with a handy side pocket, which is great for storing items like phones, water bottles and sleeping pads. The Mountain Summit Gear Horizon Cot, while bulkier than some back-packing cots, is surprisingly portable. It can fit into the majority of car camping tents. + +If you're looking to buy something a bit more luxurious then the REI Cooperative Kingdom Cot 3 is a great choice. This cot is built for two people and features an extremely comfortable sleeping area that's comfortable, even without an air mattress. The cot has a quilted surface which is comfortable to lay on. It also has baffles along the sides to prevent you from falling. The cot is also sturdy, with thick steel and aluminum bars that join to huge and swiveling legs, which makes it stable on most terrain. It was easy to set up for our test subjects, but the last knob that connected the main bar required extra strength. + +Another excellent choice is the Byer of Maine Easy Cot, which is very similar to our top choice in terms of setup and packability. It folds down similarly as a folding camp chair and the middle joints snap together easily and quickly. It's heavier and bigger than the Osage river model, but it folds down into a smaller carry bag which is about the same size as a camping chair's carry bag. It also has a larger sleeping area and a storage pocket on the side, which makes it an ideal option for anyone in need of a comfortable camping cot that can double as a spare guest bed at home. You can even find the cot with an attached headrest for added comfort. + +Onwak Cots + +If you're looking for a sturdy, lightweight camping cot to meet your outdoor needs look no further than the Onwak Cots. This cot is made of top-quality materials, and features an innovative foldable design that makes it easy to carry and store.

This cot can be set up in minutes and is ready to go to sleep. It also comes with a range of convenient features, including a washable denier base for the cot, padded head section, and a hammock for storage. It can also be used as a lounger and has different recline positions for a custom experience. + +The Coleman ComfortSmart is a great alternative for those who don't need a cot that is as comfortable as a bed. The cot can be set up in just two minutes. It has a broad base at each leg that can be swiveled to adjust for uneven ground. In addition, it's very affordable and can be purchased with or without a mattress. + +The Coleman ComfortSmart is an excellent choice for car campers. However, it's not the best option for backpackers or backcountry hikers. It's too heavy and cumbersome to carry over long distances, making it recommended for those traveling to their camping spots. Additionally the legs can be difficult to fold correctly and require a bit of strength to feed them back into the body of the cot in order to store them. + +Helinox Lite Cot + +Helinox Cot One Convertible combines high-end engineered fabric with non-stretch technology to create an ultra-lightweight camp bed that is durable and comfortable. Its patented tensioners remove the necessity for bulky cross bars and braces and provide excellent tension to the bed surface without adding additional weight. They also keep the cot from getting flat when it's placed on uneven ground. This model's only downside is its price. + +If you're a backpacker on an extremely tight budget, [cots4Tots](https://www.cots4tots.co.uk/) there are other affordable cot options to choose from. The OEX Ultralite Folding Cot, for instance, is less than half the price of the Helinox Lite Cot while being significantly heavier. The primary drawback of the OEX is its difficulty assembly. It can be a challenge for people with smaller frames to bend five aluminum leg assemblies. + +In contrast to OEX and the OEX, the Helinox Lite Cot is equipped with an exclusive lever lock tensioning system which makes it easier to erect and disassemble. This lever is located on the left side of each leg. It has an arm that pivots and connects with the top frame bar. The other side of the lever is a tab that is compressed and you press to release it. This system uses mechanical leverage to create immense tension to the bed, without adding bulk or strain to the legs. + +The Lite Cot can also be adjusted to a different height by using the leg extensions that come with it. This is especially beneficial if you are camping in an alpine region where you might require an elevated position due to snow or uneven terrain. However, the low-profile of this cot could be a disadvantage if you're an active person in your sleep, or when you share your tent with another. + +The Lite Cot is not any different. It requires some practice to install it and then take it apart. After a few hours, it becomes a breeze to use and take it with you when packing. It's also incredibly light and compact for a cot, and can fit into the majority of cars, SUVs and vans, even when they're stuffed with equipment. This makes it an excellent choice for bike and car camping. + +ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot + +If you're looking for a cot to travel with that's easy to pack and set up, the ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot is a good choice. It is light and durable thanks to its aluminum frame 7000 series and 420D honeycomb polyester rip-stop material. It weighs less than 5 pounds, yet it can hold 300 pounds of weight. It folds into the size of a 7x17 inch bag that makes it easy to carry in your backpack. + +The ALPS ReadyLite Cot is unlike other cots, which require you to spread it out from the middle. Instead, its legs extend out at the bottom of each side. This means that all you have to do is spread the cot out and then tighten the straps. It was easy to install. However its size could not fit in certain tents. + +ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite, while not as mobile as the other cots on this list, is still the best option for backpacking cots.
