The Coleman Pack-Away received a universally good response from our judges, earning it a 7 out of 10. Depending on what else is on your packing list, you may not have room for such a large luxury if you are in a smaller vehicle.

This also means that it's worth double-checking that the legs are spread to their full extent before tucking in for the night. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. The Teton Sports Outfitter XXL boasts a whopping maximum weight of 600 pounds, while the REI Co-op Kingdom Cot can hold a respectable 300 pounds.

We based assessments on our overall impressions of the design and construction, as well as any damage or wear and tear sustained during use. We awarded points based on the time and effort it took to set up and break down this cot, if we found it easy to accidentally pinch your finger in the frame while doing this, and the number of pieces each cot is made up of, as well as the amount of work it took to get each cot back into its carrying bag once folded. First and foremost, we rated and compared how much work it took to set up and break down each camping cot.

However, there are a handful of user reviews online stating that the canvas would rip over time, depending on use. The cupholders in these tables are great and the tables seem sturdy enough for small items (think keys, phone, flashlight, etc), but due to the simple attachment point on the bed frame, I would caution against resting anything too heavy on these.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I've never had a Kodiak before and I'm somewhat worried about the feet puncturing the bottom of the tent. Likewise, the REI Co-op Kingdom Cot 3 is also one of the more comfortable cots on our list, due to it's flexible, bungee-cord support system, as well as its quilted top and padded headrest. The bed frame is well designed and neatly folds in on itself to minimize the packing space required to stow. The Coleman Converta Folding Cot is a relatively inexpensive product that functions as a sleeping surface or a lounge chair.
