The cot is extremely sturdy due to its sturdy aluminum and steel bars, which are connected to the massive, swiveling feet. It was simple to set up for our testers, but the last knob that connects to the main bar required additional strength.

The Byer of Maine Easy Cot is another excellent choice. It's very similar to the top selection when it comes to setup and packing. It folds down similar as a folding camp chair, and the middle joints snap together quickly and easily.

While the Coleman ComfortSmart is a great option for car campers, it's not the ideal choice for backcountry hikers or backpackers. It's too heavy and cumbersome to transport over long distances, so it's best for those who are driving to their campsites. Additionally, the legs can be a little difficult to fold correctly, and it takes some strength to bring them back into the body of the cot in order to store them.

Helinox Lite Cot

Helinox Cot One Convertible combines precision engineered fabric with non-stretch technology to create a lightweight camp bed that is comfortable and durable. Its patented tensioners remove the need for bulky cross bars and braces and deliver great tension to the bed's surface without adding weight. They also prevent the cot from flattening when it's placed on uneven ground. The only downside to this model is its high price point.

If you're a backpacker with limited funds there are some other low-cost Cot options available. The OEX Ultralite Folding Cot, for example, costs less than half the price of the Helinox Lite baby cot online while being substantially heavier. The biggest drawback with the OEX is that it's not as simple to assemble and may be difficult for smaller-framed people to bend its five aluminum leg assemblies to fit.

In contrast to OEX, the Helinox Lite Cot has an exclusive lever locking tensioning system that makes it easier to erect and disassemble. The lever is situated on the side of each leg. It has a pivoting arm that is able to engage the top frame bar. The lever has an open tab on the other side that you can press to release it. The mechanical leverage of this mechanism provides immense tension to the bed surface without putting extra weight or stress to the legs.

Another advantage of the Lite Cot is that it can be adjusted to different heights with the included leg extensions. This is a huge benefit for camping in an alpine environment where you'll need to get off the ground because of snow or uneven terrain. The low profile of the cot can be a disadvantage for those who are active in their sleep, or who have to share a bed with someone else.

The Lite Cot is not any different. It takes a bit of practice to set it up and disassemble it. After a few times, it becomes a breeze to use and pack. It is also extremely light and compact for a cot, and will fit into the majority of vans and cars, with their gear packed. This makes it an excellent option for bike and car camping.

ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot

The ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot makes an excellent option if you are looking for a lightweight, easy-to-pack and set-up backpacking cot. The cot is light and durable thanks to its aluminum frame of the 7000 series and 420D honeycomb polyester rip-stop fabric. It weighs less than 5 pounds, but can support 300 pounds of weight. It folds down into a 7 x 17 inch bag that makes it easy to store in your backpack.

Unlike many other cots that require you to expand it from the middle and then spread it out, the ALPS ReadyLite Cot has legs that extend at the base of each side, which means all you have to do is spread the cot, then tighten its straps. We found it to be one of the most simple cotes to set up and set up, though its dimensions could cause it to be too big to fit into some tents.

Although the ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite isn't as portable as some of the other cots listed on this list, it's the most affordable option for those who require a backpacking cot. The large feet at the bottom of each leg can be adjusted to uneven terrain and you can even sleep in the rain.
