Another option that is a great choice is the Byer of Maine Easy Cot, which is similar to our top pick in terms of set-up and packing. It folds down in a similar way to a folding camping chair, and the middle joints snap together quickly and easily. It's heavier and bigger than the Osage river model, however, it folds down into a smaller carrying case that's roughly the same size as a camping chair's carry bag.

It also has a wide foot at the base of each leg that swivels to adapt to uneven ground. It's also affordable and can be bought with or without a mattress.

The Coleman ComfortSmart is an excellent choice for car campers. However, it's not the best option for backpackers or backcountry hikers. It's too heavy to carry long distances. This is why it's better for those who drive to their camping sites. In addition the legs can be a little tricky to unfold properly and require some strength to feed them back into the body of the cot for storage.

Helinox Light Cot

The Helinox Cot One Convertible combines the highest quality engineering with non-stretch fabrics to create an ultralight camp bed that is comfortable and durable. The patented tensioners provide great tension on the bed's surface without adding extra weight. They also stop the cot from getting flat when it's placed on uneven ground. The only drawback to this model is its high price.

If you're a backpacker on an extremely tight budget, there are other affordable Cot options available. For instance the OEX Ultralite Folding Cot costs less than half than the Helinox Lite Cot but is considerably heavier. The main drawback to 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 aluminium leg assemblies into place.

Helinox Lite Cots come with an exclusive tensioning system that includes an adjustable lever lock that makes them much easier to put together and disassemble. This lever is located on the side of each leg. It has an arm that pivots and connects with the top frame bar. The lever has an uncompressed tab on the other side that you can press to let it go. The mechanical leverage of this system provides great tension to the bed without adding bulk or strain on the legs.

Another benefit of the Lite Cot is that it can be adjusted to different heights by using the included leg extensions. This is a huge benefit for camping in an alpine setting where you may need to be away from the ground due to snow or uneven terrain. However, the slim profile of this cot could be a problem if an active person during the night or when sharing your tent with another.

The Lite Cot is not any different. It takes some practice to set it up and remove it from its place. But after a few uses, it becomes a breeze to set up and take down. It's 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 car or bike camping.

ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite Cot

The ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite cot is a great choice for those looking for lightweight, easy to pack and set-up backpacking cot. Its aluminum 7000 series frame and 420D honeycomb ripstop polyester makes this cot extremely lightweight and durable. It weighs less than 5 pounds, yet it has a weight capacity of 300 pounds. It can be folded into the size of a carry bag 7x17 inches which makes it easy to transport.

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

While the ALPS Mountaineering ReadyLite isn't as mobile as the other cots on this list, it's still the most affordable choice if you need a backpacking cot. Its wide feet at the base of each leg swivel in order to adjust to uneven ground and allow you to sleep in the rain.
