    Default Best Cot Pad



    I've tried a lot of different things on my cots and these are by far the best. Great price too.

    Not to steal any thunder - but perhaps to add to it...

    ...and if one is looking for a full cot - the Kelty Discovery Low Cot gets my two thumbs up for comfort and packing down to a small bag.

    Setup is the only detractor and it's made MUCH easier with a 1" to 2" chunk of 2x4 to use as a pressure block between the palm and the cot bar that needs good pressure when assembling the legs.

    This thread is timely as I just ditched my tent, pad and bag and am looking for some replacements for next season.

    fwiw I don't use a sleeping bag with my cot, I bring a few fleece blankets and maybe a comforter. More flexible and less restrictive, just a preference. Easier to wash too.

    The best cot pad I've ever used was my paco pad on my raft. Had a Teton sports outfitter cot with Paco pad on top and my sleeping bag for 20 nights straight while rafting the Grand Canyon. Slept like a baby. I usually sleep like **** when camping but this was the way to go. Plus Paco pads are water proof and tough as nails. Honestly though if I don't build another teardrop camper I'll probably get a swag bag setup.
