Another option that is a great choice is the Byer of Maine Easy Cot, which is very similar to our top pick in terms of setup and packability. It folds similarly to a folding camping chair. The middle joints snap together quickly. It's a little larger and heavier than the Osage River model, but it can be folded into a smaller carry case that's the same size as the bag that comes with the camp chair.

It has a large base at each leg that can be rotated to make it more suitable to 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 probably not the best option for backpackers or hikers in the backcountry. It's too heavy for long distances. This is why it's better for those who drive into their campsites. The legs can be difficult to unfold and feed back into the body of the cot for storage.

Helinox Lite Cot

Helinox Cot One Convertible combines the highest quality fabric engineered by a specialist with non-stretch technology to make a lightweight camp bed that is comfortable and durable. Its patent-pending tensioners remove the necessity for bulky cross bars and braces and deliver great tension to the bed surface without adding weight. The tensioners also stop the surface of the cot from becoming flat when it is set up on uneven terrain. The only drawback to this model is its price.

If you're a backpacker with an extremely tight budget there are some other low-cost Cot options available. For instance, the OEX Ultralite Folding Cot costs less than half the price as the Helinox Lite Cot but is significantly heavier. The main disadvantage of the OEX is its difficulty in assembly. It can be difficult for people with small frames to bend five leg assemblies.

In contrast to OEX and the OEX, the Helinox Lite Cot comes with an exclusive lever lock tensioning system that allows it to be erected and disassemble. The lever is on the left side of each leg and has a pivoting arm that engages 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 uses mechanical leverage to provide immense tension to the bed, without adding bulk or stress to the legs.

The Lite Cot can also be adjusted to a different height using the leg extensions included. This is a huge benefit when camping in an alpine area where you'll need to be off the ground due to snow or uneven terrain. The low profile of the cot can be a disadvantage for those who are active in their sleep or have to share a space with someone else.

As with other cots, the Lite Cot requires some practice to set up and take down. After a few times, it's easy to use and pack. It is also incredibly lightweight and compact for a cot and fits in most cars and vans with their 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 and set up, the ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot is an excellent option. Its aluminum 7000 series frame and 420D polyester honeycomb rip stop fabric make this cot extremely light and durable. It weighs less than 5 pounds, but it can carry 300 pounds of weight. It also folds down into an 7 x 17 inch bag that makes it easy to transport in your backpack.

The ALPS ReadyLite Cot is unlike other cots that 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 simplest to set up cots, although its bulkier size may make it difficult to fit in some tents.

While the ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite isn't as portable as some of the other cots on this list, it's the most affordable option for backpackers who need a bed. Plus, its wide feet at the base of each leg can swivel to adapt to uneven terrain and allow you to sleep in the rain.
