If you have been struggling to get a good night’s sleep on camping trips in recent years, this light cot might be the answer. The pros are many, including keeping your body up off of un-even surfaces and the rocks, sticks, and pinecones that seem to magically materialize overnight to torture you in your sleep. It’s also a softer surface, and the full-length size fits in a tent and lets you stretch out. If you want to lug it into the backcountry, the weight (around five pounds) is a bit much to go very far, although the Cot Lite version is only two pounds and made for backpacking. Your ability to sprawl and thrash about if you’re that kind of camp sleeper will also be curtailed a bit, but for those craving a better night’s sleep outside, this durable, easy-to-set-up cot will be a dream come true.
