The cot is also sturdy, with thick aluminum and steel bars that connect to large swinging legs, making it stable on most terrain. It was easy to set up for our testers, however the last knob connecting the main bar required extra strength.
Another excellent choice is the Byer of Maine Easy Cot, which is very similar to our top pick in terms of setup and packing. It folds down similar to a folding camping chair, and the middle joints snap together easily and quickly. It’s heavier and bigger than the Osage river model, but it folds into a smaller carrying case that’s about the same size as a camp chair’s carry bag. It also comes with a larger sleeping area, as well as an additional storage compartment on the side making it an ideal option for those who require a comfortable camping cot that can double as a guest bed at home.

It also has a large foot at the bottom of each leg, which can swivel to adapt to uneven ground. It is also very affordable and includes or without a mattress.
While the Coleman ComfortSmart is a great choice for car campers, it’s not the ideal choice for backcountry hikers or backpackers. It’s heavy and bulky to carry for long distances, which is why it’s ideal for those driving into their camping spots. In addition, the legs can be tricky to unfold properly and require a bit of strength to feed them back into the body of the cot in order to store them.
Helinox Light Cot
The Helinox Cot One Convertible combines precision engineering with non-stretch fabric to produce an ultralight camp bed that is comfortable and durable. Its patented tensioners remove the necessity for bulky cross bars and braces, and provide great tension to the bed’s surface without adding extra weight. They also stop the cot from getting flat if it’s set up on uneven ground. This model’s only downside is its high cost.
There are numerous affordable options for backpackers with a budget. The OEX Ultralite Folding Cot, for instance, is less than half the price of the Helinox Lite Cot while being considerably heavier. The biggest drawback of OEX is its difficulty in assembly. It isn’t easy for people with smaller frames to bend five aluminium leg assemblies.
Unlike the OEX model, the Helinox Lite Cot is equipped with a unique lever lock tensioning system which makes it easier to erect and disassemble. The lever is situated on the end of each leg. It has a pivoting arm that connects to the top frame bar. The other side of the lever is a compressed tab that you depress to release it. This mechanism uses mechanical leverage to give you great tension to the bed without adding bulk or stress to the legs.
The Lite Cot can also be adjusted to a different height by using the leg extensions provided. This is extremely useful for camping in an alpine environment where you may need to stand away from the ground due to snow or uneven terrain. However, the low profile of this cot may be a disadvantage if you’re moving a lot during the night or when sharing your tent with another.
Like other cots, the Lite Cot requires some time to set up and disassemble. After a few hours, it becomes a breeze to use and take it with you when packing. It’s also extremely light and compact for a cot and fits in the majority of vans and cars, with their gear packed. This makes it an excellent choice for bike and car camping.

If you’re seeking a cot for backpacking that is easy to pack and set up, the ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot is a good choice.

Unlike many other cots that require you to extend it from the middle it is the ALPS ReadyLite Cot has legs that extend to the base of each side, which means all you need to do is spread the cot and then tighten the straps. We found that it was one of the simplest cots to set up, although its bulkier dimensions could cause it to be too big to fit in some tents.
Although the ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite isn’t as versatile as other cots on this list, it’s the most affordable option if you need a backpacking bed. The wide feet at the bottom of each leg can be adjusted to accommodate uneven terrain and you can sleep in the rain.
