If you want lots of space to sprawl in on your outdoor camp bed, check out this selection of extra-wide camping cots that are also very long and with great capacity.
There are two types of camping cots on this list, collapsible and folding. The former needs a simple assembly, and the latter unfolds in seconds. The folding cots are also of two types, those that become narrow but elongated when folded like an umbrella and those that fold like a book and remain relatively large in two dimensions.

A 26 lb (11.8 kg) weight is expected for a cot with such dimensions. The frame combines steel and aluminum and is very strong and sturdy.

Its capacity is 450 lb (204 kg), so the cot is included in our list of extra heavy-duty camping cots for heavy people.

This is why the cot is formally in the group of collapsible cots, so it needs a simple assembly.

How To Choose Your Extra Wide Camp Cot
No doubt all these extra wide cots for camping are wide enough for everybody, you will notice that the width difference between the narrowest and the widest is not really big. On the other hand, all of them are long. So quite generally, the bed size cannot be an issue, no matter which of them you choose.
But there are a few other factors to bear in mind:
The Weight & Packed Size
There are significant differences here; you have seen some around 9 kg, but there are also over 15 kg. Perhaps even more important may be the packed size because of the previously mentioned two types.
Ease Of Use
This is related to the two mentioned types, collapsible and folding. When packed, the latter is easier to use, but some folding cots are large in two dimensions.
Price
There are differences here, but these are quality products built to last for many years. So they are worth the investment.
Extra Features
You have seen quite several features in these cots. We want to point out that some have padding, so you can manage without an extra sleeping pad.
