Buying a Cheap Cot For Camping

Cots are affordable and comfortable method of sleeping when camping. Some cots, like the Kingdom Cot 3 from REI Co-op provide a high level of comfort, while others can be packed down to the size and weight of one loaf.

Other cots, specifically those designed for backpacking, are on the more expensive side.

Price

For those who want an inexpensive camping cot but don't have much money you can get an inexpensive car camping cot that costs around $100. They are typically made from aluminum or steel frames that have fabric stretched over them. These models are more comfortable than sleeping directly on the ground and they stop cold air from stealing warmth from your sleeping bags. You can spend more money on a model with more cushioning and storage options. However, these cots usually compromise on strength and can be heavier and bulkier than ones that are priced lower.

Weight and pack size are crucial factors for backpackers who carry their gear on their backs. A majority of backpacking cots come with insulation to keep out cold that might otherwise leak through sleeping bags. Some cots have sleeping pads that are built into the cot to provide extra warmth and padding. Some examples include the REI KingCot 3 and Coleman Airbed Twin Cot.

Some cots are easy to put together, while others may take an enormous amount of effort and time. They may also be difficult to put together for people with limited mobility. People who are looking for an ultralight option that they can easily carry on backpacking trips may require a tent that comes with cot capabilities, like the ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot or Helinox Lite Cot.

Comfort

One of the biggest concerns for cot buyers is comfort. Cots raise campers off of the ground, making the bed more comfortable. This stops cold from getting into sleeping bags from the ground. However, cots are generally heavier and larger than sleeping pads, which can make them difficult to transport and store. Camping cots are an excellent option for people who want to camp close to their vehicles.

The most comfortable cot that we tested is the KingCamp Folding Deluxe Cot, which is light and comes with a a fast setting time of five minutes. The cot comes with a sleeping surface that is 27 inches wide and can hold up to 300 pounds. It also has a headrest which provides additional support for back sleepers.

The Coleman Converta mini cot beds is another cot that is comfortable and affordable. It can be used as a cot or as a lounger. Its construction is extremely robust, and it features soft feet that won't mark the floor of a cabin or tent. It is light and can be easily stored in a carry-on case. The cot is equipped with an adjustable brace which can be adjusted to different recline positions when used as a seat.

In addition to being comfortable to sleep on it is also simple to set up and sturdy enough for adults. This cot may be too small for people who need more space for their legs.

Other cots that scored well for comfort included the Kingdom Cot 3 by REI Co-op and the ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot. They are more expensive than some of the other cots that we reviewed however they provide more room for camping and feature additional padding. The Kingdom Cot 3 is especially ideal for back and side sleepers as it has an extra layer of padding on the sides of the cot to keep people from sliding off the edge. The cots also come with sturdy legs constructed of steel and aluminum.

Durability

When shopping for camping gear, the quality of the tent cot is a key aspect to take into consideration. Cheap cots that aren't sturdy enough could make you feel exhausted and sore the next day, which defeats the purpose of sleeping outdoors. Cots should be able to support the weight of the person using them and resist injury from sharp objects that may come into contact with it. This is especially crucial if you plan to use the cot outside in the open, where it could be exposed to dirt and animals that could chew or claw at it.

Some cots are equipped with extra features that make them more comfortable. Certain cots, like, have a built in mattress that can be inflated using an air pump. This makes them feel more like beds. Some cots have locking systems that prevent the sleeping pad from slipping off in the night. These options may cost a bit more expensive than traditional cots, but they provide an additional level of comfort to your camping experience.

The design of a cot can also impact its durability. For instance, a cot that has an iron frame is more robust than one with slender bars. A cot with 10 points of contact with the ground is more stable than one with only four. This decreases the chance that it will topple over or sink in snow or mud.

When selecting the best crib newborn cot for you, it's essential to consider how frequently you will be using it. If you intend to use it for camping in the car or occasional backpacking trips then an incredibly light cot with an integrated sleeping pad is the best choice. This kind of cot is typically less than 3 pounds in weight and can be put in a small bag for backpacking.

When you are choosing a cot you should also consider whether it is foldable into a chair, making transportation and storage easier. Some cots can be folded into chairs to make it easier to store and transportation, but they are not well-rated for their reliability or ease of use. Some cots are able to be folded flat into a small bag, and then carried by students or teachers on field excursions.

Setup

If you are buying a cot that isn't expensive be sure to think about the ease of set up. Some models require less than a minute to fold and set up, while others have more parts and require a number of steps. They are generally heavier and bulkier than those that are easier to assemble, but may offer greater comfort at camp. Some cots are equipped with cutting-edge technology that reduces the amount and complexity of the pieces required to set them up. However, they can raise the cost.

If you're planning on using your cot primarily for car camping, look for one that is designed to slide easily into the back of your truck or SUV. Some models come with numerous rings that are difficult to align and snap into place, but they're still a good choice for those who don't want to shell out more money for tents.

It's better to invest in a Baby Cot Bed designed for hiking when you're planning to go on a backpacking trip. The most affordable options, such as the Helinox Lite Cot, are designed to be as light as is possible to be carried in your backpack with no trouble. They are comfortable enough to sleep for long distances, and will give you a great night's rest during your backpacking adventure.

Some cots can be used with sleeping pads to provide additional comfort. These are usually bulkier than backpacking cots, but they provide an elevated mattress that feels more like a the traditional mattress rather as opposed to sleeping on the ground. These are a good choice for people who enjoy car camping but need to sleep in the backcountry during their backpacking trips.

If you're planning on using your cot primarily in your camper or RV, then it's a good idea to purchase one that has an integrated pillow and mattress to provide maximum comfort. Some cots are equipped with air mattresses, which you can inflate before sleeping. This will ensure you get a restful night's sleep, regardless of where you're staying.
