Camping Cots For Heavy People


In this text, I give a list of camping cots for heavy people that are available on the market. They are with a weight capacity in the range above 400 pounds (181 kg). In addition, I give a list of tent-cots all suitable for very heavy people.

What you have in this text 

If you are one of those who are heavier than average, you know it can be hard to find a proper tool when you go camping. The same is if you have an oversized overnight guest.

There are many camping cots on the market, but not all of them are for heavy people. In fact, most of them are rated far under 400 pounds (181 kg) capacity. So here is what you have here:

A. I give a list of very reliable heavy-duty camping cots with capacity above 400 pounds (181 kg).  

B. I also give an alternative, there are several tent-cots (or cot-tents as some describe them) given below. These are cots with attached tents, so this is a different concept where the cot is a platform for the tent. All tent-cots available on the market are described in this site. But in this text, I only give a list of those that are super durable and appropriate for very heavy people.

• All of the cots in the list are either folding or collapsible and they pack to a very small size, at least in two dimensions.
• All of them are described in detail in my reviews, so please follow the links to read more.
• There are military-style cots in the list as expected, those are usually with the biggest capacity. But you should know that there are also express setup cots.


What to consider

It is essential that the cot is long enough, so make sure you choose a proper length. Check also my list of extra long cots.

I would always choose a wider model if possible, this is essential for a comfortable sleep, in particular, if you are not a back sleeper. Most of the cots here are exceptionally wide, but you might want to check also my list of extra wide cots.

Since this is about heavy people, the fabric material should be durable as well as the frame.

All models here are portable, but most of them are only for places with car access.


1. LandTrip cot

LandTrip Cot.
LandTrip Cot.

The declared capacity of this cot is 800 lb (363 kg) and this makes it the number one on the market. I have not seen any other cot that would come close to this value.

Yet another great feature is its price, as of the moment of writing this text, you can find it on Amazon for $60 only.

The cot is with the headrest design as you can see from the picture above, and it is also with an express setup, so you spread it like an umbrella. The bed size is quite modest, so you have (L x W x H) 74.8 x 26.4 x 17.7 inches (190 x 67 x 45 cm). Please see more in my review.

It is here because of its huge declared capacity which is 600 lb (272 kg) so the cot is strong enough even for the heaviest users. The bed size is 74.8 x 26.4 inches (190 x 67 cm) and this is a steel construction. As you see, it is with an integrated headrest.

Cabela’s Big Outdoorsman Cot with Lever Arm.

The Cabela’s Big Outdoorsman Cot with Lever Arm is both long and wide. The dimensions are 85 x 40 inches (216 x 102 cm). This is why it is in my list of extra long camping cots.

But it is here because of its impressive 600 lb (272 kg) capacity. So if you are tall and heavy, this is the cot to choose. 

The cot is military type and collapsible, with a lever arm that makes assembly very easy. The weight is 31.3 lb (14.2 kg).

This cot is also very long 84 inches (213 cm), but it is quite heavy 35.2 lb (16 kg). It comes in a particularly nicely designed carry bag. As you realize, this is a military-style cot with an X-shaped steel frame. So it needs assembly, but this is just adding the two end bars which you see in the picture. Please see more in my review.

Guide Gear XL Magnum Cot.

The Magnum XL is a military-style cot with a nicely designed frame, and it collapses to 45 x 9 x 7 inches (114 x 23 x 18 cm). The weight is 31.3 lb (14.2 kg) so you would not carry it around; this is a tool to use at places with a car access.

OSAGE RIVER 600lb Deluxe Folding Camping Cot
OSAGE RIVER 600lb Deluxe Folding Camping Cot.

Read my Rio Gear Smart Cot XXL review.


9. Teton Sports Outfitter XXL Cot

This is a cot with truly impressive features. With the weight of 26 lb (11.8 kg), it is heavy but not the heaviest, but it can carry a lot, up to 600 pounds (272 kg) and probably even much more.

The bed size is 85 x 40 inches (216 x 101.6 cm), so this is one of the largest and the strongest cots that exist, and it is the most popular of all cots here.

This great cot is described in detail in my another text where it is an ideal element in the tent-cot structure with the Teton Sports Outfitter XXL Quick tent. So please follow the link to see more.

10. Texsport First Gear mammoth xl Cot

Texsport First Gear Extra Large Camp Cot.
Texsport First Gear Extra Large Camp Cot.

This cot is different from the cots above in one important feature – it has no end bars. This means that its impressive length of 81 inches (206 cm) is a fully usable length, unlike the military-style cots which have end bars that take a few centimeters on both ends.

Yet another great feature is that this is an instant cot. There is nothing to assemble here, just unfold.

The packed size is not bad, so you have 40 x 7 x 6 inches (102 x 18 x 15 cm), and the weight is also very reasonable 23 lb (10.4 kg). The weight capacity is 600 lb (272 kg). Please see more in my review.

This cot is here because of its incredible capacity of 600 lb (272 kg). But it is also both wide and long, it measures 85 x 39.5 inches (216 x 100 cm). This is why it is also in my list of extra wide camping cots.

This EVER ADVANCED Oversized XXL Folding Camping Cot has an incredible weight capacity of 550 lb (250 kg), so you realize why I have added it here in the list.

It is what its name says, one of the largest on the market. It is 41.9 inches (206 cm) wide and I have added it to my list of extra-wide camping cots.

This is not all, the cot is incredibly long, you have 84.3 inches (214 cm), this is why it is in my list of cots for tall people. It is military-style and its weight is 26.67 lb (12.1 kg). A carry bag is included.

The capacity for each of the two cots is impressive 500 lb (227 kg), and the weight for the whole bunk is 63 lb (29 kg). They pack in separate carry bags, and the packed size for both is 34 x 16 x 11 inches (86.4 x 40.6 x  27.9 cm).

Ozark Trail XXL Weather-Resistant Deluxe Cot.
Ozark Trail XXL Weather-Resistant Deluxe Cot.

This Ozark Trail cot is here because of its capacity so indeed it can support the users with a weight of up to 500 lb (227 kg). 

But apart from the capacity, this is also a really large cot suitable for tall people and for users who want to have extra space. So the bed size is enormous 85 x 42.1 inches (216 x 107 cm).

The bed is military-style so it is preassembled and all you have to do is to unfold it and to add two end-bars. Note that they have added a pivoting arm which makes adding the second end-bar easy and without force. There are also locking mechanisms for extra stability. Please follow the link for more.

This cot shares the top positions in several categories. It is the longest cot on the market together with the Eureka Cot XL, and it also shares the top position with several cots as the widest cot on the market. Its bed size is 86 x 40 inches (218 x 102 cm). It is included here in the list because of its impressive 500 lb (227 kg) capacity.

So this is a remarkable cot in many ways and it has an interesting legs’ structure with support bars and with a locking mechanism. Please see more in my review.

ARAER Camping Cot.

The ARAER is a fully collapsible cot that needs no assembly, there are several cots of this type here in the list. As you realize from the profile picture, it comes with an integrated headrest.

The capacity is 450 lb (204 kg), so the cot is here on the list for all good reasons. Though the bed size is quite moderate, 74.8 x 26.4 inches (190 x 67  cm), so if you are a very tall person better check some other models here in the text.

The cot is a bit heavy, it weighs 15.8 lb (7.2 kg), but this looks quite normal for such a capacity. Please read more in my full review.

Browning Camping Titan Cot XP.
Browning Camping Titan Cot XP.

This cot is also described in my another text about extra wide cots. The structure is a bit specific, you have a very strong frame with the crossbars between the legs and also support bars. The bed deck is huge, 85 x 40 inches (216 x 102 cm), among the biggest on the market in general. The weight is very good, only 20.5 lb (9.3 kg). It packs to 48 x 9 in (122 x 23 cm).

This cot needs assembly which is the same as in any military cot – so all you have to do is to add those end bars which you see in the picture.

The Titan Cot XP comes with bonuses; you have storage pouches visible in the picture and one is detachable so you can use it in the camp as a toiletry bag. You also have a pillow sleeve on the bed deck.

The frame is powder-coated aluminum with sturdy steel connectors. As you see the legs are angled to prevent “rocking”.

Coastrail Outdoor Camping Cot for Adults.

This Coastrail Outdoor Camping Cot for Adults is with an impressive 450 lb (204 kg) capacity. It is also designed as a folding cot without assembly, so you open it or close it in a couple of seconds. This is why it is in my list of best folding camping cots.

They have built it with a head incline and it comes also with a bonus pillow, so for most users this is good enough and it can be used without any extra pillow. It weighs 16.1 lb (7.3 kg).

This great cot comes with several bonuses which you see in the picture, and this includes the storage system on the two sides, and the pillow.

If you compare it with the other cots in the list, you will realize that it is very lightweight. So you have 17.5 lb (7.94 kg) which packs to 38 x 8 x 6 inches (97 x 20 x 15 cm).

The bed size is 77 x 25 inches (196 x 64 cm). Note that this is a military-type cot so you have the two end bars which take a few centimeters of its length. This also implies that it needs the usual assembly – adding those two end bars. The capacity is 450 lb (204 kg).

22. Stansport One-Step Deluxe Cot

Stansport One-Step Deluxe Cot.
Stansport One-Step Deluxe Cot.

This cot has a few features that set it apart from the crowd. As you see from the picture, it has an integrated elevated headrest. So with this, you can manage without a pillow. But it also has a zippered pocket under the headrest to form a pillow. So here you can add any piece of clothing and make a comfortable headrest.

But this is not all; as the name suggests this is an instant setup cot. So you just unfold it and it is ready in seconds.

Note that you have no end bars here, so its length of 80 inches (203 cm) is all a useful length. The bed is also very wide, you have 32 inches (81 cm).

The weight is 22.5 lb (10.2 kg) and the packed size is 45 x 11 x 9.5 in (114 x 28 x 24 cm). The capacity is impressive 450 lb (204 kg).

24. Bushtec Adventure Camping Cot Sierra 440

Bushtec Adventure Camping Cot Sierra 440.
Bushtec Adventure Camping Cot Sierra 440.

The name of this Sierra Cot 440 tells you why I have included it in the list – the number 440 describes its huge capacity. But this is also a very wide cot with a bed width of 34 inches (86 cm), and it is extra long with 82 inches (208 cm) total length. So I have included it in my list of extra-wide camping cots.

This is a folding type and it is padded as you realize from the picture, so you do not need a pad for such a cot.

Yet another great feature here is its legs, they are extendable and you can transform the cot into a lounger, and you can recline it to several different positions. With such adjustable leg length, you can make it horizontal on uneven ground. Please follow the link to my full review.

25. KingCamp Camping Cot XL

KingCamp Camping Cot XL.
KingCamp Camping Cot XL.

This cot is not only with a big capacity of 440 lb (200 kg), but it is also very long. The bed size is 82 x 29.5 inches (208 x 75 cm). So if you are a tall person, regardless of the weight, this is a cot to consider.

The weight for such a type is quite good, it weighs only 14.8 lb (6.7 kg), so this cot is reasonably lightweight.

You have an integrated headrest here and a bonus storage system for small items. The construction is aluminum and steel and as you realize from the picture, you have 10 legs plus many support bars.

So the mentioned capacity is not a surprise, this is a very strong construction. Yet, the setup is very easy, in seconds. There is no assembly, this is a folding design. The packed size is 45.2 x 9.1 x 7.1 in (115 x 23 x 18 cm). Please follow the link for more.

26. KingCamp Ultralight Camping Cot

KingCamp Ultralight Camping Cot.
KingCamp Ultralight Camping Cot.

If you inspect this list here you will notice that not many of these huge capacity cots are really portable. But this KingCamp cot is indeed backpack portable.

With its 7 lb (3.2 kg), it is not exactly ultra-light as its name suggests. But this should be looked at from the capacity point of view. For its 440 lb (200 kg) capacity, this weight is truly remarkable.

So this is a fully collapsible cot, and this means it needs an assembly. But this is done without any tool in just a couple of minutes. The packed size is great, it fits its carry bag which is only 21.6 x 7 x 5.5 inches (55 x 18 x 14 cm). Please follow the link to read more.

27. Niceway Oxford Portable Folding Bed

The cot packs to 42.1 x 11.4 x 7 inches (107 x 29 x 18 cm), the weight is very good 16.22 lb (7.36 kg), and the capacity is 440 lb (200 kg). The frame is steel.

Cabelas Alaskan Guide Cot with Lever Arm.

This cot is built as a military type, so it is collapsible. It is here because of its impressive capacity of 400 lb (181 kg). 

The cot is large and it measures 83.5 x 32 x 19.5 inches (212 x 81 x 50 cm) so it is included also in my list of cots for tall people. Note that it is also heavy, it weighs 28.5 lb (12.93 kg).

29. ELTOW Cozy Folding Camping Cot

ELTOW Cozy Folding Camping Cot.

This Eltow Cozy Cot is here in the list because of its weight capacity which is 400 lb (181 kg). You have a strong steel frame. But this is also a cot with a mat included, so it is also in my list of best cots with mattresses.

This is a folding cot that folds in such a way to remain long in one dimension only. So its packed size is 41 x 12 x 6 inches (104 x 30 x 15 cm).

As you realize from the picture, it comes with a pillow and a carry bag included.

30. FLAMROSE Sturdy Folding Outdoor Cot

FLAMROSE Sturdy Folding Outdoor Cot.

As you realize from the picture, this is yet another express setup cot that needs no assembly. This is a patented heavy-duty coated steel structure with incredibly many legs and support bars. It is no surprise that its capacity is so great, 400 lb (181 kg).

The weight is moderate, 18.8 lb (8.53 kg), and the cot packs to 40.5 x 8.6 x 5.5 inches (103 x 22 x 14 cm) which is again quite normal for this type.

The bed size is considerably smaller than the cots above, so you have 75 x 27 inches (191 x 69 cm). Bear this in mind if you are a very tall person. The good thing is that there are no end bars in this design.

31. Klymit Cedar Mesa Cot XL

Klymit Cedar Mesa Cot.
Klymit Cedar Mesa Cot.

The capacity of this cot is 400 pounds (181 kg), so you know now why it is here in the list.

It is built in two sizes and both are large and with the same capacity. The XL version measures 85.5 x 37 inches (217 x 94 cm) and I have included it also in my list of extra wide cots.

Klymit is well-known for its sleeping pads, but this is the first cot ever from this brand. It is built as a collapsible cot that needs a simple assembly.

You will want to know that it comes with a nicely designed carry bag. Note that it is a bit heavy, it weighs 19 lb (8.6 kg).

32. MOON LENCE Folding Camping Cot

MOON LENCE Folding Camping Cot.
MOON LENCE Folding Camping Cot.

The official name of this cot is a bit misleading because this is a collapsible cot that needs a simple assembly, so this is not folding construction. The cot is well-built, it is ultra-packable and very light, yet with an incredible weight capacity of 400 lb (181 kg).

It comes with a carry bag and it weighs only 7 lb (3.18 kg) which is remarkable for such a capacity and such a size because this is a long cot.

Here you have a typical military-style camping cot, with a standard X-shape steel legs structure and with

The packed size is 38 x 8 x 4 inches (87 x 20 x 10 cm) so this is one of the best here with respect to this parameter.

The weight is less impressive, 20 lb (9.07 kg), and the bed is not particularly big, 75 x 25 inches (191 x 64 cm). So this cot is more suited for shorter people.

34. Teton Sports Universal Camp Cot

Teton Sports Universal Camp Cot.
Teton Sports Universal Camp Cot.

This cot is very similar to the Adventurer Cot shown above, but the bed is considerably larger and you have 85 x 32 inches (216 x 81 cm). So this is a cot for very tall people.

The weight is 24 lb (10.9 kg), and the capacity is 400 lb (181 kg). The packed size is typical, with only one larger dimension which means you will have to transport it in a car, 42.5 x 8.5 x 5.5 inches (108 cm x 22 x 14 cm).

The bed frame is aluminum and the legs are steel. Please see more in my review.

Texsport Black Bear Colossal Folding Camp Cot.
Texsport Black Be.ar Colossal Folding Camp Cot

The capacity of this cot is the same as in several cots above, 400 lb (181 kg). But its bed dimensions are among the largest on the market 85 x 40 inches (216 x 101.6 cm). So this is a great option for very tall and heavy people.

The packed size is similar to many of the cots here in the list, 44 x 11 x 7 inches (112 x 28 x 18 cm). Note that it is quite heavy 29.6 lb (13.4 kg).

By the style, this is again one of the military type cots, so it requires the usual assembly which implies adding the two end bars.

36. VINGLI Camp Folding XXL Cot

With a weight capacity of 400 lb (181 kg) capacity, this cot deserves to be here. But this is a very wide cot and I have added it to my list of extra-wide camping cots. The bed size is 78.7 x 35.5 inches (200 x 90 cm) and you realize that it is also very long.

This is a collapsible construction built in the military-style. It comes with a carry bag and with a system of storage elements on the side. The cot is heavy with its 20 lb (9.1 kg), but this is a strong steel frame. You might want to know also that this cot is exceptionally affordable.

  1. Thank you for the extensive information it is very appreciated. But, my husband and I have a hard time getting in and out of the cots. LOL. Some of the cots are flat but too low to the ground, other’s are kind of curved and i fall right into it, but getting out of those are terrible. Especially for me as a women, and I am short, and trying to get out of those cots in the middle of the night to use the ladies room. And my husband back was killing him using them even with a sleeping bag. We put a extra padding, but in our small car, we can only take so much. I love camping, but I just can’t seem to find the right cot. I did purchase this one, Coleman ComfortSmart Deluxe Camping Cot and SUFUEE Mattress Topper Twin Down Alternative Mattress Pad 2″ Extra Thick Mattress Cover Overfilled Fluffy and Firm Pillow Top. It works for now, I am okay with it. My husband Nope. We will will keep trying because I do love to camp.

    1. Hi Sally, actually I am also right now camping in the mountains and only occasionally have an Internet connection. I understand your problem, some other readers also mentioned the cot height issue. I think I shall make a list of high cots, but this is for a bit later when I get back into my normal working environment.

  2. There is an important piece of information missing from many (most) of the descriptions, cot height. I am unable to use anything that is lower than 20″ from the ground (the higher the better).

    1. Hi Keith, you are right, the height of the cot is very important for many users. All these cots are presented in my detailed separate texts, and the cot height is always given. Please follow the links and you will find it.

        What is the tallest cot here? Or the top three tallest? I do not have time to read all the reviews to search for that item. Maybe you could post it as a reply?

        1. Hi Paula, the cots are ordered by their weight capacity, so the height is not the topic here. You have no time to read and to find the tallest? How about asking politely for help?
