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.


Our List Of Extra-Wide Camping Cots

We ordered the costs by width, so the last one on our list is the widest we could find:

Regarding the design, the cot is foldable, so there is no assembly; you unfold it. Note that it is pretty large when folded; the folded size is 39.4 x 31.5 x 11 inches (100 x 80 x 28 cm).

Another great feature here is its telescopic legs, which apply to all its legs.

This is why we have also included it in our list of adjustable folding camping cots.

As you realize from all these features, this is a very comfortable bed. As for the capacity, it’s not too heavy; officially, it weighs 22.7 lb (10.3 kg) and supports a weight of up to 260 lb (118 kg).

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.

Regarding the design, the cot is in the military-type cots group, which is a collapsible cot. This means it needs a simple assembly. In this case, this only implies adding the two end bars; everything else is pre-attached. Note that they’ve added a pivoting arm, which makes the setup easy, so no force is needed to put the bars in place.


4. Browning Camping Titan Cot XP

  • Dimensions: 85″x 40″
  • Packed Size: 48″ x 9″ x 5″
  • Weight: 20.5 lbs
  • Weight Capacity: 450 lbs

The word Titan in the name of this cot is likely related to its bed’s size, which measures 85 x 40 inches (216 x 102 cm), so as you can see, it’s not only long but also extremely wide, and this is why it is here in the list. Its capacity is 450 lb (204 kg), so the cot is included in our list of extra heavy-duty camping cots for heavy people.

The design could be described as close to a military-style cot with a frame, so the functional bed’s size is a few centimeters smaller than mentioned above. But the legs are not a typical military-style cot design. The end bars you add when you want to use the cot and all other pieces are pre-attached. This is why the cot is formally in the group of collapsible cots, so it needs a simple assembly.

Quickest Set-Up

Pros:

  • Made with robust 600D polyester
  • Easy to pack away
  • Excellent side storage slots

Cons:

  • Not a great packed size
  • Bit heavy to carry long distances

The sleeping cot is heavy at 20.5 pounds (9.3 kg), but this is typical for the cots on the list. The frame is powder-coated aluminum with steel connectors, and the fabric is standard 600D polyester.

There are a few bonus storage elements on the side; one is detachable, so you can use it as a toiletry bag. Yet another bonus is an integrated sleeve in the head section, so here you can put some pieces of clothing and manage without a true pillow.

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.
