It's simple to set up and take down and is comfortable to sleep on. This cot features a, wide base that can accommodate someone who is 6 feet tall and 300 pounds, and our testers found it solid on any terrain. It also has a handy side pocket, which is great to store items such as phones, water bottles, and sleeping pads. While it's more bulky than some backpacking cots, the Mountain Summit Gear Horizon Cot is still very portable and fits well into the majority of car camping tents.

If you're looking for something that's a little more lavish and luxurious, the REI Cooperative Kingdom Cot 3 is a great choice. The cot is designed for two and has a sleeping area that's incredibly comfortable, even without an air mattress. The cot features a quilted surface which is comfortable to lay on. It also has baffles along the sides, which help prevent the user from falling. The cot is extremely sturdy due to its sturdy aluminum and steel bars, which connect to the oversized, swiveling feet. Our testers found it to be simple to set up, however the last knob that connects the main bar requires extra strength from a third party.

Another excellent choice is the Byer of Maine Easy Cot, which is similar to our top pick in terms of setup and packability. It folds down similarly to a folding camp chair and the middle joints snap together quickly and easily. It's heavier and bigger than the Osage river model, but it folds into a smaller carry case that's roughly the same size as a chair's carry bag. It offers a more spacious sleeping area and an extra storage pocket on the side making it a good option for those looking for an easy camping bed that can be used as a spare bed at home. The cot is available in a model with a headrest attached for additional comfort.

The lever is on the left side of each leg and has an arm that pivots and connects with the top frame bar. The lever is equipped with an open tab on the other side that you press to let it go. This system makes use of mechanical leverage to create an excellent tension on the bed surface, without adding bulk or strain to the legs.

The Lite Cot can also be adjusted to a different height using the leg extensions that come with it. This is particularly useful for camping in an alpine area where you may need to be elevated due to snow or uneven terrain. However, the low-profile of this cot may be a disadvantage if you're an active person during the night or when you share your tent with another.

The Lite Cot is no different. It takes a bit of practice to put it together and then remove it from its place. After a few times it's a breeze to pack and use. It is also extremely light and compact for a cot and can be tucked away in the majority of vans and cars, with their gear packed. This makes it an excellent option for bike or car camping.
