Affordable Cots For Backpackers

These cots provide a more comfortable sleeping experience for backpackers without sacrificing their backpack space or back muscles.

Our mom tester loved this luxurious cot that is beautiful enough to fit Scandi style nurseries, but it is also very practical with three mattress sizes that will make it in use until your child reaches four years old.

Mountain Summit Gear Horizon Cot

The Mountain Summit Gear Horizon Cot is our top budget pick and is a great choice for campers who are looking for a simple sleeping solution. It's easy to set up and a great packability and is also comfortable to sleep on. This cot's large, wide base can accommodate those who are up to 6 feet tall, and 300 pounds. Our testers reported that it was stable on most terrains. It also has a side pocket for holding items like sleeping pads, water bottles and phones. The Mountain Summit Gear Horizon Cot although heavier than many back-packing nursery cots, is surprisingly portable. It fits into most camping tents for cars.

If you're looking for something a little more luxurious, we recommend the REI Co-op Kingdom Cot 3. The cot is designed to sleep two people and has a sleeping area that's incredibly comfortable even without an air mattress. The cot is quilted with a surface that is a comfortable surface to lie on. It also has baffles on the sides, which help prevent you from falling. This cot is extremely stable due to its sturdy aluminum and steel bars, that connect to the large and swiveling feet. It was easy to set up for our testers, but the last knob connecting the main bar required extra strength.

The Byer of Maine Easy Cot is another excellent choice. It is very similar to the top pick in terms of packing and setting up. It folds in a similar way to a folding camping chair. The middle joints snap together quickly. It's heavier and more spacious than the Osage river model, but it folds down into a smaller carry bag which is about the same size as a camp chair's carry bag. It comes with a bigger sleeping area and a side storage pocket making it a good choice for anyone seeking an easy camping bed that can also be used as a spare bed at home. You can even find a version of this cot with an attached headrest for additional comfort.

It also has a number of features that are convenient, including the ability to wash the base of the cot, padded head section, and a hammock for storage.

For those who aren't looking for a cot 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 broad foot at the base of each leg that swivels to adjust to uneven ground. It is also very affordable and is available with or without a bed mattress.

While the Coleman ComfortSmart is a great choice for car campers, it's not the best choice for backcountry hikers or backpackers. It's too heavy and hefty to carry for long distances, making it recommended for those driving into their camping spots. Additionally, the legs can be a little difficult to fold correctly and require some strength to bring them back into the body of the cot in order to store them.

Helinox Light Cot

The Helinox Cot One Convertible combines high-end engineering and non-stretch fabric to produce an ultralight camp bed that is both comfortable and durable. The patented tensioners provide great tension on the bed's surface without adding weight. They also keep the cot from becoming flat if it's set up on uneven ground. This model's only downside is the cost.

There are numerous affordable options for backpackers on a budget. The OEX Ultralite Folding Cot, for example, costs less than half the cost of the Helinox Lite Cot while being considerably heavier. The biggest drawback with the OEX is that it's not as easy to put together and it can be difficult for small framed people to bend its five aluminum leg assemblies into place.

Helinox Lite Cots come with unique tensioning systems that include an adjustable lever lock that makes them much easier to put together and disassemble. This lever is located at the side of each leg. It is a pivoting arm that engages the top frame bar. The other side of the lever is a compressed tab that you depress to release it. The mechanical leverage of this mechanism provides an excellent tension to the bed without putting extra weight or stress to the legs.

The Lite Cot can also be adjusted to a different height using the leg extensions that come with it. This is especially beneficial when camping in an alpine area where you may require an elevated position due to snow or uneven terrain. The low profile of the cot is not ideal for people who move a lot in their sleep or have to share a bed with a partner.

As with other cots, the Lite Cot requires some practice to set up and disassemble. After a few hours, it becomes easy to use and pack. It's also incredibly lightweight and compact for a cot and will fit in the majority of SUVs, cars and vans, even when they are jam-packed with equipment. This makes it an excellent option for car and bike camping.

ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot

If you're seeking a cot for backpacking that is easy to carry and set up it's the ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot is a great option. Its 7000 series aluminum design frame and 420D honeycomb ripstop polyester make this cot very lightweight and sturdy. In fact, it weighs less than 5 pounds and has a 300-pound capacity for weight. It 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, 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 out and then tighten the straps. It was simple to set up. However, its larger size may not 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 choice if you need a backpacking bed. Plus, its large feet at the base of each leg swivel in order to adjust to uneven ground and even let you sleep in the rain.
