When most people think of an adjustable folding camping cot, they immediately think about the uncomfortable beds they slept on at camp or friends' homes. The newest models of cots are completely different because the designs put comfort over anything else. Outdoor stores and specialty stores sell a variety of different cots for camping and other uses. The cots are so comfortable that some shoppers use them full-time or year-round in their home.
The newer designs use a solid steel-frame construction or another type of metal in the frame. This heavy-duty frame supports up to 200 pounds of weight or more. A canvas piece runs across the center of the frame, supporting the weight of anyone sitting or laying on the top. While some designs use only the canvas, other designs bring more comfort to the cot in the form of padded cushion on top. Some designs even add an inflatable air mattress to the top of the camping cot, which makes the cot even more comfortable.
Camping Trips
By the name of the cot, most shoppers know that these are perfect for indoor and outdoor camping. The designs have folding legs that tuck underneath for easy storage. Most designs fold flat or fold into a small cube, which is small enough for carrying to the campsite and back home. The small design lets shoppers easily store the cot in a basement or closet until needed. The canvas padding wipes clean, which is helpful when it comes to outdoor camping. The cots also feature strong legs that keep the bed flat and level even when camping on soil or sand.
Kids' Parties
When parents host slumber parties or overnight sleepover events for their kids, they often worry about where all the children will sleep. Even if the kids bring sleeping bags, they still need to clear out space in a living room or bedroom for those guests. Camping cots provide a simple way to give everyone their own small bed during the sleepover. Since the cots take up little space, the parents can store the cots away and only use them for parties. The kids feel more comfortable sleeping on the cots than they do on the floor, which might help everyone sleep better at night.
Overnight Guests
Not everyone has the extra space available for a guest room. When overnight guests arrive, they need to rearrange their family into different rooms just to make space for everyone. An adjustable folding camping cot makes it easy to host overnight guests. Some cots even feature two beds in the form of a bunk bed. The bed has room for two people, but does not take up a lot of space. The cots are so comfortable that some homeowners even use one or two cots full-time in a dedicated guest room.
Vacation Uses
Traveling on vacation typically means staying in a hotel or cabin. Taking along a camping cot ensures that the room has space for everyone on the trip. Some hotels offer the use of a rollaway bed, but charge an extra fee for that bed. A cot is small enough to transport in the trunk of a car on any vacation. The cot also serves as an extra bed in smaller cabins or on hunting trips. It takes only seconds to unpack and setup the cot.
