The Kamp-Rite EZ Fold Cot is such that you have to see it to believe it. Its setup is as simple as opening an umbrella. It is incredible, you will see this in the video below.
What is in the name
The EZ Fold cot is a folding type and in the packed state it is only 39 x 9 x 8 inches (99 x 23 x 20 cm). So you realize, it packs to only one relatively big dimension. This makes it very handy to store in the closet at home, or to transport in the car.
See how it looks:
From the video above, you have seen that it sets up in one single move. Equally easy is to collapse it.
The bed is with 6 points on the ground, which makes it very stable. Numerous support bars are there for stability and to make it easily collapsible, like wires in an umbrella.
The bed size is quite good, 79 x 29 inches (201 x 74 cm), and you are 19 inches (48 cm) above the ground. As you have seen in the video, it comes with a nice and very durable carry bag, convenient for transport and for storage at home.
Who is it for
I see this EZ Fold Cot as a nice tool at any camping place with a car access. In particular:
- At regular camping places.
- In trailheads hotels.
- For music festivals and other events in open spaces.
- Summer camps.
- At beaches.
- Emergency situations at home or anywhere.
- For sudden overnight guests.
Pros & cons, my rating, price
If you are a back sleeper, the Kamp-Rite EZ Fold Cot will work perfectly for you, but I am not, and I find it a bit narrow.
Note that the EZ Fold Cot is without transverse bars at the head and at the feet, so this is far more comfortable than what you have in some other models in the table. Also, its setup is simply beyond comparison, no other model can come close to it.
I do not remember any other cot (except perhaps the Byer of Maine Easy Cot) with such an elegant way of setting it up and taking it down, simply ingenious.
The daily updated price on Amazon-US is available in the link below. So this is a real bargain, and this is also an Amazon Prime product so you can have it shipped for free.

Summary
In the conclusion of this Kamp-Rite EZ Fold Cot review to stress again that this is a very reliable tool from the well-known brand. All Kamp-Rite’s tent-cots are described in the site, you can see them here.
When it comes to tent-cots, this brand is by far the number one in this industry. This particular EZ Fold Cot is an ingenious and versatile concept that works well for various purposes. I can fully recommend it.
You might want to compare this cot with yet another model from Coleman, the popular Pack-Away Cot or with the Forfar Camping Cot.
Note, if you need a cot for particularly heavy people, I have a list of 13 great tools described in my separate text. On the other hand, if you are a side sleeper or stomach sleeper, you might want to have a very wide cot, so check in this text.
