Types of camping cots in this collection
Padded folding cots
Padded folding camping cots add a cushion or soft pad on top of the fabric deck. Most cots in this range fall into this group. The pad takes the edge off a hard frame and suits side sleepers and longer stays. Each one folds down into a carry bag, so it travels in a car trunk without much fuss.
Extra-wide cots
Extra-wide cots give you more room to roll over. Listed widths reach 31.5 in (80 cm) and 32 in (81 cm). The narrowest model is 26.8 in (68 cm). A wider bed suits larger campers and anyone who moves a lot in their sleep. Check your tent floor first, because a wide cot takes more space.
Cots with a mat and pillow
One cot in this range comes with a mat and a pillow on a double layer Oxford fabric deck. A cot like this means less extra gear to pack for a night out. It suits quick trips, cottage guests and campers who want a ready-to-sleep setup. Add a sleeping bag for cool nights, since a cot does not insulate on its own.
Cots with non-slip feet
Cots with non-slip feet are designed to grip the floor instead of sliding. Some models in this range list this feature. It helps on smooth surfaces such as a sunroom floor, a cabin deck or a tent groundsheet. A steady cot makes it easier to sit on the edge and pull on your boots.

How do you choose a camping cot?
Check the width
Measure the sleeping width before you buy. Listed widths here run from 26.8 in (68 cm) to 32 in (81 cm). Pick the wider end if you sleep on your side or keep gear on the cot. A narrower cot leaves more floor space.
Match the load rating
Weight capacity matters most. Read the maximum load on the product page. One cot in this range lists 330 lb (150 kg). Choose a rating well above your body weight, because sitting down hard stresses the frame more than lying still.
Measure your tent floor
Add the cot length and width to your tent plan. Leave about 30 cm (12 in) beside the cot for bags and boots. Sloped tent walls can also limit how close the cot sits to the edge. See our camping tents.
Plan for warmth
A cot lifts you off the ground but does not insulate you. Cold air moves under the deck on spring and fall nights. Add a sleeping pad and a sleeping bag rated for the lowest night temperature at your campsite.
Check the packed size
Confirm that the cot folds into its carry bag and that you can lift the bag. Car campers can accept a bulkier frame. Walk-in sites need a cot you can carry from the parking lot in one trip.
Where do camping cots work best?
Car camping is where a cot works best, because comfort matters more than pack weight. A cot keeps your sleeping bag off damp ground. It also gives you a seat at the edge of the bed. Pair it with a roomy camping tent and a set of camping chairs for a full campsite.
A folding camping cot also works as a guest bed at a cottage, cabin or family gathering. A portable camping cot with a padded cushion stores flat in its carry bag between visits. For a mattress that stays put, browse our mattresses.
Road trips and backyard sleepovers suit a camping bed that folds away. It packs into a car trunk and sets up wherever the ground is flat. If you would rather hang than lie flat, our camping hammocks are a lighter option.
How do you set up and care for a camping cot?
Set up a camping cot on flat ground. Check that every lock on the folding frame is fully open before you lie down. Keep within the load rating on the product page. After a trip, wipe the fabric with a damp cloth. Let it dry fully, then fold it into the carry bag. Dry storage helps stop mildew and keeps the frame in good shape.

Camping cot FAQs
Are cots worth it for camping?
Yes, for most car campers. A cot lifts you off cold, damp ground and gives you a firm, flat place to sleep. It adds bulk and does not insulate, so plan to pack a sleeping pad and a sleeping bag. For short trips, the comfort gain is usually worth the space.
What is the most comfortable cot for camping?
A wide cot with a padded cushion or soft pad is usually the most comfortable. Look for a width near 32 in (81 cm), a steady frame and a load rating above your weight. Add a sleeping pad on cold nights for extra warmth.
How wide should a camping cot be?
Most adults sleep well on a cot about 28 to 32 in (71 to 81 cm) wide. Side sleepers and larger campers should choose the wider end. Measure your tent floor first, because a wider cot leaves less room for bags beside the bed.
Do you need a sleeping pad on a camping cot?
In cool weather, yes. A cot keeps you off the ground but lets cold air pass under the deck. An insulated sleeping pad and a sleeping bag stop that heat loss. On warm summer nights, a padded cot alone can be enough.
How much weight can a camping cot hold?
It depends on the model. One cot in this range lists a 330 lb (150 kg) maximum load. Read the rating on the product page. Pick a cot rated well above your weight, since sitting suddenly on the edge adds stress.
Is a camping cot better than an air mattress?
A cot sets up quickly, stays firm and keeps you off the ground, with no pump needed. An air mattress packs smaller and suits wider beds. Both need insulation underneath on cold nights. Choose a cot for steady support and an air mattress for compact storage.
