Our test subjects found it to be easy to set up, though the last knob connecting to the main bar requires extra strength from another person.

The Byer of Maine Easy Cot is another excellent option. It is very similar to the top selection in terms of setup and packing. It folds in a similar fashion similar to the folding camping chair. The middle joints snap together quickly. It's slightly heavier and bigger than the Osage River model, but it can be folded into a smaller carry case that's the same size as the carry bag of the camp chair. It offers a more spacious sleeping space and a side storage pocket making it a good choice for anyone seeking a comfortable camping bed that can be used as a spare bed at home.

It has a broad base at each leg that can be rotated to make it more suitable to uneven ground. In addition, it's very affordable and is available with or without a mattress.

The Coleman ComfortSmart is an excellent choice for car campers. However, it's probably not the best crib newborn option for backpackers or backcountry hikers. It's too heavy to transport long distances. This is why it's best for those who drive to their campsites. The legs can be difficult to unfold and feed back into the cot body to store.

Helinox Lite 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 eliminate the need for bulky cross bars and braces, and provide great tension to the bed's surface without adding weight. They also keep the cot from flattening if it's set up on uneven ground. The only downside to this model is its high cost.

There are a variety of inexpensive options for backpackers on a budget. The OEX Ultralite Folding Cot, for instance, is less than half the price of the Helinox Lite Cot while being substantially heavier. The major drawback of the OEX is that it's not as simple 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 a unique tensioning system with an adjustable lever lock that makes them much easier to put together and disassemble. The lever is located on the bottom of each leg. It is a pivoting arm that engages the top frame bar. The lever is equipped with a compressed tab on the other side that you can press to release it. The mechanical leverage of this system gives great tension to the bed surface without adding extra bulk or stress on the legs.

Another benefit of the Lite Cot is that it can be adjusted to different heights with the included leg extensions. This is very helpful if you're camping in an alpine area where you'll have to get away from the ground due to snow or uneven terrain. However, the low-profile of this cot may be a problem if you're a big mover in your sleep, or if you have to share your tent with another.

The Lite Cot is not any different. It requires some practice to set it up and remove it from its place. After a few times, it becomes a breeze to pack and use. It is also incredibly lightweight and compact for a cot and fits in the majority of vans and cars with their gear. This makes it a great option for bike and car camping.

ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot

The ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot is a great choice for those looking for a lightweight, easy-to-pack and set-up backpacking cot. This cot is lightweight 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 an 7 x 17 inch carry bag, which makes it easy to carry in your backpack.

The ALPS ReadyLite Cot is unlike other cots that require you to spread it out from the middle. Instead its legs extend at the bottom of each side. This means that all you have to do is spread the cot out and then tighten the straps. We found that it was one of the easiest cots to set up and set up, though its dimensions could make it too large to fit in some tents.

ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite, while not as portable as other cots in this list is still the best option for backpacking cots. Plus, its wide feet at the base of each leg swivel to adapt to uneven terrain and allow you to sleep in the rain.
