It is also very practical and has three mattress heights to keep your child comfortable until they are around four years old. + +Mountain Summit Gear Horizon Cot + +The Mountain Summit Gear Horizon Cot is our best budget pick and an ideal option for campers looking for a simple sleeping solution. It's simple to set up and take down and is comfortable to sleep on. The cot's huge, wide base can support individuals with a height of up to 6 feet and 300 lbs. Our testers reported that it was sturdy across all terrains. It has a side pocket to store items such as sleeping pads, water bottles and phones. The Mountain Summit Gear Horizon Cot is heavier than other backpacking cots, is still portable. It can fit into the majority of camping tents for cars. + +If you're looking for something that's more luxurious, we recommend the REI Co-op Kingdom Cot 3. The cot is able to sleep two people and is incredibly comfortable even without an inflatable mattress. The cot comes with a soft, quilted surface that's comfortable to lie on, as well as baffles on the sides that stop the occupants from falling off. The cot is extremely sturdy, thanks to its thick steel and aluminum bars that connect to the large and swiveling feet. It was easy to set up for our testers, however the last knob that connects the main bar needed additional strength. + +Another excellent choice is the Byer of Maine Easy Cot, which is very similar to our top pick in terms of set-up and packing. It folds down in a similar way as a folding camp chair, and the middle joints snap together easily and quickly. It's a bit larger and heavier than the Osage River model, but it can be folded into a smaller carrying case that's the same size as the carry bag of the camp chair. It also comes with a larger sleeping area, as well as an additional storage compartment on the side that makes it an ideal choice for anyone who needs a comfortable camping cot that can also double as a bed for guests at home. There is even a version of this cot with a headrest that is attached to provide additional comfort. + +Onwak Cots + +If you're looking for a durable lightweight camping cot that is light to meet your outdoor needs then look no further than the Onwak Cots. This cot is unique in its folding design and is made of top-quality materials. It's easy to store and transport. It's also incredibly comfortable and durable, and can be used as a bed or a lounge chair. + +The Onwak Cots are not only great for camping but also for hiking and backpacking. Its light aluminum or iron construction permits it to easily support heavy loads, while remaining lightweight and affordable. In addition the cot has been thoroughly tested to ensure the highest quality and performance. Onwak makes use of only the finest materials to create its products, and offers reliability even when shipping in bulk. + +The Kamp-rite Double Kwik Cot is the ideal cot for couples who love camping together. This cot can be set up in minutes and is ready for sleep. It is equipped with many useful features like a washable base, padded section and mesh storage hammock. It can also serve as lounger or chair and has multiple reclining positions to customize your experience. + +The Coleman ComfortSmart is a great option for those who don't want a cot as comfortable as a bed. It can be set up in less than two minutes. It has a large base at each leg which can be swiveled to adjust for uneven ground. It is also very affordable and is available with or without a mattress. + +The Coleman ComfortSmart is an excellent option for car campers. However, it's probably not the ideal choice for backpackers or hikers in the backcountry. It's too heavy for long distances. This is the reason it's best suited for [cots4Tots](https://www.cots4tots.co.uk/) those who drive to their campsites. Additionally, the legs can be difficult to unfold correctly and require a bit of strength to return them to the body of the cot in order to store them. + +Helinox Lite Cot + +Helinox Cot One Convertible combines the highest quality fabric engineered by a specialist with non-stretch technologies to create a lightweight camp bed that is durable and comfortable. The patented tensioners provide great tension on the bed's surface without adding weight. The tensioners also keep the bed's surface from flattening out when it is placed on uneven terrain. The only downside to this model is its higher price. + +If you're a backpacker with an extremely tight budget, there are other affordable Cot options available. The OEX Ultralite Folding Cot, for example, costs less than half the price of the Helinox Lite Cot while being substantially heavier. The main drawback to the OEX is that it's not as easy to assemble and may be difficult for smaller-framed people to bend its five aluminium leg assemblies into place. + +Unlike the OEX model, the Helinox Lite Cot is equipped with an exclusive lever lock tensioning system which allows it to be erected and disassemble. The lever is situated on the side of each leg and has an arm pivoting that connects with the top frame bar. The other end of the lever is a tab that is compressed and is pressed to let it go. The mechanical leverage of this system provides great tension to the bed without adding extra 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 beneficial when camping in an alpine region where you may require a higher level due to snow or uneven terrain. The low profile of the cot is not ideal for people who move around a lot during their sleep or share a bed with a person else. + +The Lite Cot is not any different. It requires some practice to install it and then remove it from its place. After a few uses it becomes a breeze to use and pack. It is also incredibly lightweight and compact for a cot and can be tucked away in the majority of vans and cars with their gear packed. This makes it a great option for bike and car camping. + +ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot + +The ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot makes the perfect choice if you want lightweight, easy to pack and set-up backpacking cot. The cot is light and durable due to its 7000 series aluminum frame and 420D honeycomb polyester rip-stop fabric. It weighs less than five pounds, but can support 300 pounds of weight. It folds into a 7 x 17 inch carry bag, which makes it easy to transport in your backpack. + +Unlike many other cots that require you to expand it from the middle, the ALPS ReadyLite Cot has legs that extend at the base of each side, which means that all you have to do is spread out the cot and tighten its straps. We found that it was one of the simplest cotes to set up and set up, though its size may make it difficult to fit into some tents. + +Although the ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite isn't as versatile as other cots listed on this list, it's the most affordable choice if you need a backpacking cot. Additionally, its wide feet at the base of each leg swivel in order to adapt to uneven terrain and even allow you to sleep in the rain. \ No newline at end of file
