Therm-a-Rest UltraLite Cot

This is excellent for side-sleepers! I can sleep through the whole night and wake up refreshed with no soreness. Packs down reasonably small and is reasonably lightweight. I have used it for backpacking. (Note: This is the newer version that's green, with crescent moon shaped side supports, not the full circles.) I am a side sleeper and I have had difficulty sleeping on traditional sleeping pads that backpackers use. I typically wake up multiple times each night, tossing and turning, and in the… Full review

Helinox Cot One

Lightweight, capable cot made of quality material. After spending some time basically living in the mud during Hurricane Maria response, I opted to never sleep making direct contact with the ground. I decided a cot is what I needed. This being the case, I chose the Helinox Cot One and could not be happier, nor can I sleep any sounder. First off, the thing is extremely lightweight, coming in at justĀ 2 lbs. 9.6 oz. Its dimensions make it a perfect fit for vertical attachment to my bugout bag and… Full review

TravelChair Sleeprite Cot

Kind of fussy to set up and take down, but packs small and light and is very comfortable. As I get older, a more comfortable sleeping experience becomes a bigger priority for me. While I have been sleeping on the original Paco pads made by Jack's Plastic Welding (think rafting PVC with a memory foam interior and an air valve) for years, they are starting to feel thinner as time goes on. On warm weather trips where a tent is not needed, I've used the gold-standard Camp Time Roll-a-Cot, which is very… Full review

Helinox Cot One

Lightweight (about 2kg) and most easy installation under 1.5 min with good design. Only the price is slightly high. I'd been looking for a light and easy cot and found two of all. They were the Helinox Cot 1 and Therm-a-Rest ultralight Cot. I gave my choice to the Helinox Cot 1 because it needs really fewer motions of setting up than the Ultralite cot and more reliabilities from their DAC pole. Full review

LuxuryLite UltraLite Cot

Tired of wet gear inside a tent? Put your tent over this cot and enjoy dry and comfort inside your tent even in a 5" all night rain. Did it last weekend. LuxuryLite Cots are just over 2 lbs. Rolls up into a sack less than 6"x 21 and has a lifetime guarantee. When it's cold put your Thermarest over that and sleep like you're at home...no rocks, no wet tent bottoms. I won't go without it anymore...that's 8 backpacks a year with Royal Rangers. Best gear I own. I turned 52. That was 2 years ago. I bought… Full review

PahaQue Kamp-Rite Tent Cot

I was excited to receive the tent cot, but after 10 uses I have ripped seams, broken buckles. The condensation inside the tent makes it seem as though it is raining inside! I have emailed 10 times to the company to get some kind of answer about what I can do about the broken and ripped tent. Guess what they told me, NOTHING, they won't return any emails. DO NOT BUY THIS. If I could give it negative stars, I would. Full review

PahaQue Kamp-Rite Tent Cot

I was so excited to get this as a birthday gift...until I took it camping. It rained very slightly the first night and I still ended up needing a plastic tarp over the tent/cot. Chinese made garbage. Stay away from this thing, it's made with 3rd rate parts and fabric. Full review

PahaQue Kamp-Rite Tent Cot

Absolute waste of money, when it rains the water comes in, when it does not the condensation makes up for it. This is a cheap Chinese piece of junk. Full review

PahaQue Kamp-Rite Tent Cot

I like the concept, but the materials leave much to be desired. I've actually had to replace the poles after 2 uses, and also had to repair some seams after just 4! Good idea, but needs more R&D perhaps. Full review
