It is more than comfortable enough to forgo any additional cushioning — though some extra padding would certainly make it even more comfortable.

This cot is ginormous — it's even wide enough that you could almost get two people on it (if they didn't mind getting very cozy). Having read other reviews before purchasing, we knew this was a concern beforehand, but it hasn’t bothered us too much.In the end, we were able to get a sense of how durable each is, as well as noting any damage or wear and tear sustained throughout testing. The only real issue we (and others online) have experienced with this airbed cot is that the mattress can be loud when moving around.

If it helps you get outdoors more often, avoids the backaches, and gives you the opportunity to share a bed with your partner – it’s well worth the cost in our opinion. Like the zipper of the packing bag, the zipper of the mattress pocket is large and unzips a long way giving you plenty of room to slide the mattress inside without trouble.I’ve always struggled with depression, and in 2020 I finally committed to really putting in an effort to treat it. The Converta Cot and the KingCamp 4-Position are both single-piece cots that unfold in one smooth motion. It's also sometimes finicky to fully engage the back adjustment mechanism, requiring some extra pressure to snap it into place. However, the Coleman Pack-Away Cot doesn't cost too much more than the Kingcamp, so it's worth considering if you can afford it. However, we did find in our experience that it is fairly easy to get a finger pinched in the legs at the head or the foot of the cot when you are wrapping them around if you aren't paying attention.

Jason is also an avid car camper, hiker, and backpacker and has extensive knowledge of general outdoor gear. I know that I can trust that this cot is going to behave for my guests, in ways that I can’t trust our air mattress. The house had no closets, so a cot that I could fold up and slide behind a couch or under a bed sounded appealing. In terms of folding or unfolding, this product is easily our favorite, usually only taking a minute or two to get the bed fully assembled. Our third metric focused on how it actually felt to lie down in each cot once you have carried it around and set it up.This constitutes 20% of the final score for each camping cot, with results based on the opinions of our diverse panel of cot judges and if users were prone to hitting their heads, elbows, or feet on parts of the frame. It folds up into a relatively compact form, isn't too heavy, and seems to be built very sturdily, though it definitely isn't made for backpacking. The Pack-Away Cot is very comfortable, providing ample support, and the design of its frame minimizes chances for you to smack your head or foot on a metal bar. Next, we rated and compared how cumbersome it is to carry each of these cots around, which is responsible for 30% of their final score. Our Coleman Queen Airbed Cot review presents a great option to make camping more comfortable and enjoyable.

The Teton's bed is 600D canvas, and the folding mechanism and frame have a heavy-duty metal construction that showed no signs of damage after all our testing. He spends time playing at local lakes, dunes, and campgrounds, where he routinely uses cots for sleeping under the stars. Other times, when I feel my mental resources burning out, I lie down on the cot (or fit myself in around my dog), set a timer for around 15 minutes, and nap or rest with my eyes closed.Both the Coleman Converta and KingCamp 4-Position felt very solid to us and are rated for 225 and 264 pounds, respectively.
