Method: Roster covers twelve camping cots spanning ultralight backpacking designs (Therm-a-Rest LuxuryLite UltraLite, ALPS Mountaineering Ready-Lite, KingCamp Ultralight Folding Camping Cot) to family/basecamp cots (REI Co-op Kingdom Cot 3, Coleman ComfortSmart, Coleman Trailhead II, TETON Sports Outfitter XXL, REI Co-op Campwell Folding Cot) and stackable bunk/tent-hybrid cots (Disc-O-Bed, Kamp-Rite), researched 2026-08-09, with five entries (Helinox Cot One Convertible, Kamp-Rite Original Tent Cot, Disc-O-Bed Bunk Camping Cot, Byer of Maine Allagash PLUS Cot, KingCamp Ultralight Folding Camping Cot) confirmed by direct live fetch of the manufacturer's own product page and the remaining seven compiled from retailer listing copy reproducing manufacturer spec sheets after coleman.com, tetonsports.com/tetongear.com, thermarest.com/cascadedesigns.com, alpsmountaineering.com, and rei.com all returned 403s or repeated connection timeouts on direct-fetch attempts during this session; two products required a name correction from the seed list because the exact seed name is no longer sold under that name — Disc-O-Bed's "Cam-O-Bunk" is now sold as the "Disc-O-Bed Bunk Camping Cot," and REI's "Camp Cot" is now the "REI Co-op Campwell Folding Cot" — and any spec, weight, or price that could not be corroborated on an accessible source is left null with the gap explained in that product's priceNote/provenance rather than guessed.
