Best Camping Cots With Air Mattress

---

In this text I give a list of Best Camping Cots With Air Mattress that are available on the market, all completely collapsible and portable, suitable for outdoor and home use.

My list of cots with air mattress

Note, there are not so many camping cots with air mattresses available on the market, but see the comment below related to the Haotian cot.

So here they are, ordered by weight from lighter to heavier and with only a few basic parameters, to see more please follow the links, they all are described in separate texts:

What you have here

• Two cots are with the dimensions which put them in the group of cots for one person.
• Three of the cots are double-wide type, so these are great tools for couples. Obviously, when used outdoors, they require a large tent.
• All cots are completely collapsible. This term implies that when packed, they reduce to a very small size with only one relatively large dimension, so that they easily fit in any car trunk.
• One of the cots is in the group of collapsible tent-cots, which means that it comes with a tent that sits on the cot. So this is a complete sleeping system.
• All these tools can be used at home as well as spare beds for sleepovers and sudden guests.
• All come with thick inflatable pads.
• Several of them also include either a cover or a sleeve for the mattress. This makes them quite comfortable and you will not be touching the plastic at any point.
• Some models come with an integrated pump that needs electric power, so this limits a bit their use as camping tools.
• All are described in detail in my separate reviews, so please follow the links to see more.

Here you have a complete outdoor sleeping system that includes a cot and a tent together with all the bedding (a sleeping bag, an inflatable pad, an inflatable pillow, and covers for the pad and pillow), plus a foot pump.

The cot itself is military-style and collapsible, with the usual easy setup. The pad is inflatable and very thick. The whole system weighs 30 lb (13.6 kg) and this is why it is in this position in the list. The cot and pad are much lighter.

From the numbers in the table above, you realize that this is a really wide cot, but it is not for very tall people. Bear this in mind and if you are very tall, you might want to check one of these.

This huge bed with the air mattress comes with an integrated electric pump. This is one of the several differences as compared with the model above which is from the same brand.

You will notice it comes with two side tables with cup holders. The mattress sleeve is fixed to the cot, so it is not removable. Its packed size is really great for all that it includes, 39.6 x 10.5 x 10 inches (101 x 27 x 25 cm).

This is a bed equipped with two electric pumps. So the primary pump inflates or deflates the mattress and this is done in 2 minutes. The other is what they call NeverFlat, a quiet pump with sensors that activates automatically if the pressure is reduced.

14. Ivation EZ-Bed 

They have Queen and Twin versions. The Queen is is the biggest but also the heaviest cot in the list. It offers a lot of space for two people, and it comes with a very thick air mattress. It inflates and deflates automatically due to the integrated electric pump. The weight is the same as in the Insta-Bed above, 48.9 lb (22.2 kg).

This Queen cot requires a bit more space than the numbers 3 and 4 above. Its packed size is 26 x 21 x 16 inches (66 x 53 x 41 cm). So it is surprisingly short when packed, but it is a bit bulky, like a big suitcase. But it has two wheels so moving it around should not be an issue.

The Twin version is smaller but will the same basic features, and with a different price of course.

The setup of this cot is such that it is hard to believe. So it is best to see it, enjoy the video:

15. Serta EZ Bed Queen Size

This Serta EZ Bed looks similar to some of the beds above, but there are differences regarding the pumps and deployment.

So the bed comes with a primary and a secondary electric pump. The former deploys the bed automatically and this makes it different from the Insta-Bed above. The same pump also deflates the bed. The secondary pump keeps the pressure at the desired level, and this is the same as in the Insta-Bed.

This is a large bed and the size is 78 x 60 inches (198 x 152 cm). It weighs 50 lb (22.7) and this is why it is in this position in the list. But it comes with a nice carry bag equipped with a handle and wheels.

How to choose

There are many parameters to consider before you choose, so here are a few tips given in no particular order, they might help in making an informed choice.

The packed size

This is about camping stuff and as you know the space in the car trunk is limited. If this is critical for you, make sure that you inspect the packed size of the cot and its mattress, there are big differences.

The weight

The weight depends on the design, functionality, and on several other factors. But you would use the car in any case so this may not be so critical.

The bed size

This may be a crucial factor if you are a very tall person. In this case, some of the items in the list are simply not for you. Also, some of the cots here are double-size and designed for two, but check if this is really enough for you and your partner. In any case, check the dimensions.

Ease of use

You have some ingenious designs here, some mattresses inflate automatically and the cots deploy also automatically. But those models require electric power. So check what suits best your usual camping locations.

The size of the tent

Clearly, this is very important. The cot must fit inside. The good thing with any cot, and this is what I love to stress, is that you always have plenty of space underneath it to store the gear. So even if the cot consumes most of the area in your small tent, do not panic, this can still be perfectly fine.

Tent’s design

Make sure that you can get the cot in. So this is related to the design of the tent, the size of its door and the position of the door. Some small tents have a side door, and getting the cot inside may be tricky. On the other hand, setting the cot in the tent may be impossible due to the cot’s design and due to the tent’s features (low ceiling, etc.).
