Camp Cot

Bottom Line: The FE Active Folding Camping Cot let me get GREAT night's sleep, ever night, for 5 consecutive nights on my last motorcycle camping trip through the TN and NC mountains. I don't review products often but this one deserves 6 stars! Summary: My 62-year-old back was letting me know that if I intended to keep tent camping from a motorcycle, an upgrade was needed for my sleep setup. I already own a good sleeping pad and decided that the next step was to get it off the ground. After a bit of research, I found this cot and am extremely happy with my purchase! After 9 hours of riding I set up camp and got 7+ hours of high-quality sleep. I woke up refreshed and my back felt great. The next day I rode another 8 hours to the next camp site where I got another great night's sleep, same thing the next night, and the next... by the 4th night this cot became a permanent part of my camping gear. Details: I ordered the cot with enough time to learn how to set it up and make sure it fit in my Marmot 3P Tungsten tent. My initial impressions were: 1) the aluminum tubing is sturdy, 2) the man-made fabric is tough and won't stretch if it gets wet, 3) the seams are well stitched and, 4) it requires some thoughtfully placed body weight to set up. Setup\takedown is easily done outside of the tent, it's a bit more difficult when you have to do it inside a low ceiling tent because it's raining out. Once setup, the cot fabric stretches tight and provides a firm foundation for a sleeping pad. I sleep on my side and back and this cot provided ample room for me to be very comfortable, which ever position I ended up in. The cot added about 5 minutes to my tent setup and ~7 when breaking camp. It re-packed nicely into its storage pouch. The cot's ten plastic feet are wide and provide good weight distribution. If you don't set your tent up on sharp rocks, they shouldn't wear out the tent's ground pad or floor.

We purchased this cot as an additional bed for our teenager on a trip to Mexico. The travel bag fit easily into a suitcase and was light enough we didn't need to worry about going over the airline's weight limit. Assembly was easy and the teenager said the cot was very comfortable. There are a few minor cons - not enough to detract from our satisfaction with the purchase but things it would have been nice to know in advance of buying. Pros: - easy to pack - lightweight - comfortable for sleeping - easy assembly Cons: - On a hardwood floor, the cot is so lightweight it moved every time my teen sat on it, rolled over while sleeping, etc. Likely would be fine on carpet or other textured flooring/ground. - Takes some muscle to get the first support attached/removed - The travel bag could be slightly larger to make repacking a bit easier

I've used this cot 3 times now, mostly indoors but in a cold climate. It works fairly well, comfort is above average, I slept well, and setup speed is medium. There are two long poles that I had trouble getting into the holes, but the legs are easy to snap on. I am 5'10 male and there is plenty of leg room and feels sturdy enough with minimal sagging. The cot sits low, so it can be difficult getting out of with weak knees. This is probably the smallest width of a cot as I would go, as this cot was comfortable enough when tossing in the night. I enjoy the portability of the cot, it breaks down compactly for a car, but probably too bulky for overnight backpacking. My only minor criticism is that heat is lost through the mat, there is no insulation, so the cot needs an additional insulation layer.

Update: Amazon assisted me in contacting the company. They were quick to respond and were very helpful. They asked for pictures and immediately sent me replacements. They also said they’d forward the pictures to their design department to see if there is a need to redesign. Very good company. The cots were great. Compact to fit two of them along with 2 sleeping bags, a tent, and other camping gear in a single bag that met the size and weight allowance for the aircraft. Highly recommend. I did a lot of reading before choosing this cot. My wife and I took a 2 week trip abroad and wanted to take a tent and camp. To keep comfortable we looked at the cots for weight and size as our check in luggage could only be 23kg. We bought 2 of these a month before leaving on our trip as to give us a chance to check they would work. They are very comfortable and kept us off the ground. We are overall pleased with these. The draw back, when I took them down after our third night to move on to another town, we noticed 2 of the legs were bent on each cot. Could not figure out how and they can’t be bent back. The rest of the trip we put the bent ones at the head and foot where less weight but overall disappointed they bent bc we really liked these cots and wanted to use them again on future trips. Bc we bought them 1.5 months before our trip, we can’t have them replaced. Will try to find a way to contact the company.

I bought this cot on 8/11/24. Around late August- early Sept of 24 I started using it as a lounge for tanning outside in my backyard. A week ago (4/25/25) I noticed the legs were bent, not all but a few. If they weren’t in just the right position it would collapse when lying on it. Around the same time I noticed the fabric was starting to rip. As of today (5/2/25) the long support just snapped. I didn’t use my cot from October 24-earl Feb 25. I got about 3 months of use. Not worth the price.

Ottimo, molto comodo

Just got this and went camping on the weekend. My impressions: 1) surprised how small it was went it arrived. Very small size, light and easy to throw in the car. Great 2) set up is a bit hard, it's hard to bend the struts and clip it in, but I've worked it out now and it's okay. small size = harder to assemble I guess 3) it's comfortable and secure ! I put a therma rest on it, and it's very comfy, bed + therma rest + sleeping bag = very comfortable bed and a very nice sleep. Conclusion: I'll buy another one for the wife, it's small, packs well, sets up okay, and is very comfy.

Súper buena compra, ligera para transportar, fácil de armar, buen tamaño de ancho y largo no hay contacto con la humedad del piso, resistente, y lo mejor jamas se poncha .... (yo viajo en moto y esto es ideal)

Product was helaas te zwak. Door de klantenservice super geholpen en een volledige terugbetaling ontvangen. Ik zou zeer zeker weer een product van deze fabrikant aandurven.

The bed is quite comfortable and packs away to a reasonably small size, which is a must for me, as I use it on motorbike trips. IT does take a few minutes to set up.
