Yolafe Folding Camping Cot is instant setup, portable in its carry bag, with integrated elevated headrest and a pillow, and with a very good price.

Key features

Where to buy

This cot is available on Amazon, so follow the link and check the price and shipping conditions for your location.

What type of cot is this

So here you have one of those cots that fold and collapse. Here this means that it remains relatively large in one dimension only, see the picture below. When you need it, you spread it in seconds, there is no particular assembly.

As you realize from the pictures, this cot comes with an integrated elevated headrest. The difference in the height between the headrest and the main part of the cot is around 12 cm. So you can manage with it without a pillow.

But in fact, it comes with a pillow as you see from the pictures. The other bonuses include the carry bag with a strap, and a storage pouch on the side.

Who is it for

Capacity-wise, the declared weight capacity is 300 lb (136 kg). So this is quite a typical number for such a type and suitable for most of the users. But if you need a cot for heavier users, please check our list with cots for heavy people.

Size-wise, with its 72.04 x 23.22 inches (183 x 59 cm) bed size, this is not a particularly large cot. So if you are a tall person you will want to check one of these cots for tall people, all longer than 210 cm.

Weight-wise, with 10.5 lb (4.76 kg) this is lightweight cot. You will see how it compares with some of its competitors, there is a comparison table below.

The packed size is reasonable, the dimensions are 36.22 x 15.35 x 6.7 inches (92 x 39 x 17 cm). So clearly you need a car for transportation. For shorter distances you can carry it attached to your shoulder, the carry bag is with a shoulder strap. I have included this cot in my list of best cots for car camping.

Materials

The bed fabric is a heavy-duty 600D PVC coated polyester fabric. Such a denier value is indeed very high so this is a strong material.

The frame is built from high strength steel tubes and with triangle structure. This gives stability against lateral movement.

There are 8 feet and they are with wide plastic caps, so this is a floor-friendly design, and the cot will not sink easily if you use it outside on a soft ground.

Using this cot in a tent

In the case of a floored family camping tent, I would always add some extra protection underneath the feet. Note also that this is a rather high cot, with the bed 15.74 inches (40 cm) above the ground, so this may be suitable for elderly people.

On the other hand, such a height implies that you have lots of space underneath the cot to store your camping gear.

The bed deck offers no insulation. For summer camping you do not need anything, except if you want more comfort. But in a cooler climate, you should plan some pad on the cot. Bear in mind that being on the cot, you always need less insulation as compared with using a pad on the ground.

Yolafe Folding Camping Cot vs Competitors

When you see features of such a cot side by side with some other cots of the same type, you can make an informed choice. So I give two of them, all are with head incline and folding cots.

As you see, the Yolafe Cot is lighter than the other two cots, but it is also smaller. The Araer Cot has the best capacity, the KingCamp Cot looks identical as the Araer cot yet its capacity is far lower. The prices are almost the same. Please follow the links for more.
