Affordable Cots For Backpackers

For backpackers looking to enhance their sleeping experience without sacrificing pack space or back muscles, these softer cots are a great option.

Our mom tester loved this luxury cot which is beautiful enough to fit Scandi design nurseries but is also extremely practical, with three mattress base heights that will keep it functional until your child is around four years old.

Mountain Summit Gear Horizon Cot

The Mountain Summit Gear Horizon Cot is our top budget choice is a great choice for campers looking for an easy way to sleep. It is easy to set up and a great packability and is also comfortable to sleep on. The cot's wide, large base can support people who are up to 6 feet tall, and 300 pounds. Our testers reported that it was sturdy on all terrains. It also comes with a handy side pocket, which is great for storing items like phones, water bottles, and sleeping pads. While it's more bulky than some backpacking cots but the Mountain Summit Gear Horizon Cot is still a great option for portable storage and fits nicely into the majority of car camping tents.

If you want something a little more luxurious, we recommend the REI Co-op Kingdom Cot 3. This cot can sleep two people and is incredibly comfortable, even without an inflatable mattress. The cot is quilted with a surface that is a comfortable surface to lie on. It also has baffles on the sides, which prevent you from falling. This cot is also extremely sturdy, with heavy steel and aluminum bars that join to huge swinging legs, which makes it stable on most terrain. Our testers found it to be easy to set up, though the last knob connecting to the main bar requires extra strength from a third party.

Another option that is a great 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 in a similar way to a folding camp chair and the middle joints snap together easily and quickly. It's a little larger and heavier than the Osage River model, but it packs down into a smaller case that's roughly the same size as the bag that comes with a camp chair. It also has a larger sleeping area and a side pocket for storage, which makes it an ideal option for anyone in need of a comfortable camping cot that can double as a bed for guests at home. The cot is available with a headrest attached for additional comfort.

The Kamprite Double Kwik Cot makes the ideal sale cot for couples who like camping together. The cot can be set up in a matter of minutes and is ready to sleep. It also has a number of convenient features, including the ability to wash the base of the cot and a padded head section and a hammock for storage. It can also be used as a chair or lounger and comes with various reclining positions that can be customized to your experience.

For those who aren't looking for a cot that's as comfortable as mattress and isn't too expensive, the Coleman ComfortSmart is an excellent choice. It can be put together in less than two minutes. It also has a wide foot at the base of each leg, which can swivel to adapt to uneven ground. It's also affordable and is available with or without a bed mattress.

While the Coleman ComfortSmart is a great option for car campers, it's not the best choice for backpackers or hikers in the backcountry. It's too heavy for long distances. This is why it's best rated cribs for those who drive into their camping sites. The legs are difficult to fold and feed back into the cot body to store.

Helinox Lite Cot

Helinox Cot One Convertible combines precision engineered fabric with non-stretch technology to make an ultra-lightweight camp bed that is durable and comfortable. The tensioners are patented and provide excellent tension on the bed's surface without adding weight. The tensioners also prevent the bed's surface from flattening out when it is placed on uneven terrain. The only drawback to this model is its high price point.

If you're a backpacker with a tight budget there are some other low-cost Cot options available. The OEX Ultralite Folding Cot, for instance, is less than half the cost of the Helinox Lite Cot while being substantially heavier. The primary drawback of the OEX is its difficulty assembly. It can be difficult for those with smaller frames to bend five aluminum leg assemblies.

In contrast to OEX and the OEX, the Helinox Lite Cot has an exclusive lever locking tensioning system that allows it to be erected and disassemble. This lever is located on the side of each leg and has an arm pivoting that connects with the top frame bar. The lever is equipped with a compressed tab on the other end that you press to let it go. This system makes use of mechanical leverage to give you an excellent tension on the bed's surface without adding bulk or stress 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 useful when camping in an alpine area in which you'll require an elevated position due to snow or uneven terrain. However, the slim profile of this cot may be a problem if you're a big mover in your sleep or when sharing a tent with someone.

Like other cots, the Lite Cot requires some practice to set up and disassemble. However, after a few hours it's a breeze to pack and use. It's also incredibly compact and lightweight for a cot and will fit in most cars, SUVs and vans even when they are jam-packed with gear. This makes it a great 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 it's the ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot is an excellent option. Its aluminum 7000 series frame and 420D honeycomb ripstop fabric made of polyester make this cot very lightweight and robust. In actuality, it weighs less than 5 pounds, yet has a 300-pound capacity for weight. It folds into the size of a carry bag 7x17 inches that makes it easy to transport.

The ALPS ReadyLite Cot is unlike other cots, which require you to spread it out from the middle. Instead the legs extend at the bottom of each side. This means that all you need to do is spread the cot and tighten the straps. We found it to be one of the most simple cotes to set up and set up, though its size could cause it to be too big to fit in some tents.

Although the ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite isn't as mobile as the other cheap baby cots (www.hulkshare.com's website) on this list, it's still the most affordable choice for backpackers who need a cot. Plus, its wide feet at the base of each leg swivel to adjust to uneven ground and even allow you to sleep in the rain.
