Affordable Cots For Backpackers

These cots offer the most comfortable sleep for backpackers without sacrificing their pack space or back muscles.

Our mom tester loved this luxurious cot that looks beautiful enough to suit Scandi design nurseries but is also super practical with three mattress base heights that will keep it usable until your child is four years old.

Mountain Summit Gear Horizon Cot

The Mountain Summit Gear Horizon Cot is our top budget choice and is an excellent choice for campers who are looking for a simple sleeping solution. It has a straightforward setup and impressive packing capacity, and it's also comfortable to sleep on. The cot has a broad base that can accommodate someone who is 6 feet tall and 300 pounds, and our testers found it to be solid on any terrain. It also comes with a handy side pocket, which is great to store items such as phones, water bottles, and sleeping pads. The Mountain Summit Gear Horizon Cot, while bulkier than some back-packing cots, is surprisingly transportable. It can be easily incorporated into most car camping tents.

If you're looking for something that's a little more luxurious, we suggest the REI Co-op Kingdom Cot 3. The cot is designed for two and has a sleeping area that's incredibly comfortable, even without an air mattress. The cot features a plush quilted, soft surface that's easy to lie on, and baffles on the sides to prevent you from falling off. This cot is extremely stable thanks to its heavy steel and aluminum bars which connect to the oversized swinging feet. It was simple to set up for our test subjects, but the last knob connecting the main bar required extra strength.

Another option that is a great choice is the Byer of Maine Easy Cot, which is similar to our top pick in terms of setup and packing. It folds down similarly as a folding camp chair, and the middle joints snap together quickly and easily. It's heavier and larger than the Osage river model however, it folds down into a smaller carry case that's about the same size as a camping chair's carry bag. It also comes with a larger sleeping area as well as a side pocket for storage, which makes it a great choice for anyone who needs a comfortable camping cot that doubles as a bed for guests at home. The cot is available in a version with a headrest attached for added comfort.

It has a broad base at each leg which can be rotated to make it more suitable to uneven ground. It is also very affordable and comes with or without a bed mattress.

The Coleman ComfortSmart is an excellent option for car campers. However, it's probably not the best choice for backpackers or backcountry hikers. It's too heavy and cumbersome to transport over long distances, so it's best for those who are driving to their campsites. The legs are difficult to unfold and feed back into the cot body for storage.

The OEX Ultralite Folding Cot, for example, costs less than half the price of the Helinox Lite Cot while being considerably heavier. The biggest drawback with the OEX is that it's not as straightforward to put together and it can be difficult for smaller-framed people to bend its five aluminium leg assemblies to fit.

Helinox Lite Cots feature an exclusive tensioning system that includes the lever lock that makes them much easier to put together and disassemble. The lever is on the opposite side of each leg. It has an arm that pivots and connects with the top frame bar. The lever has an uncompressed tab on the other end that you can press to release it. This system uses mechanical leverage to create an excellent tension on the bed's surface, without adding bulk or strain to the legs.

This is especially beneficial for camping in an alpine area in which you'll require a higher level due to snow or uneven terrain. The low profile of the cot can be an issue for those who move a lot in their sleep, or who have to share a space with someone else.
