Teton Sports Adventurer Cot & Comfortlite Sleeping Pad

Over a year ago we picked up two Teton Sports Adventurer Cots and Regular Comfortlite Self Inflating Sleeping Pads (2″) and boy are we glad we did.

We bought them for car camping and they have been awesome. They’re easy to setup, incredibly sturdy and and built to last.
Let’s take a look at the Features and then talk performance

Testing
We’ve used them on multiple week long car camping trips, as beds during moves, separately and together. We’ve loaned them out to family and friends and they’re still going strong. Everyone has been impressed with how easily they setup and how comfortable they are (even without the optional sleeping pads) and how well they’re constructed.

Performance

Disclaimer: these are not for ultralight backpacking. They are for car camping, canoe camping, base camp camping, or anywhere you want a fantastic, luxurious night’s sleep.

The 600D Poly Canvas used on the Cot is fantastically durable. You may have seen the Teton Sports video of 11 guys standing on their XXL cot… do a search it’s quite impressive. It’s also breathable, so you’ll get a decent amount of airflow.

The stainless steel frame performs great. It adds to the weight (20 lbs) but It’s a small price to pay for the durability you get from it.

I did have two of the plastic spacers in the frame break when I opened it incorrectly one time, but they didn’t affect performance and Teton Sports was quick to send me replacements and thank me for the feedback.

One thing I love about these cots is that they give you plenty of room to store all your gear underneath. That opens up your tent floor a ton… especially when you have 4 kids!

The spreader bars on the cots are offset to allow two cots to be placed closer for two people – ideal when you use the comfortlite sleeping pads which velcro together.

We purchased these sleeping pads to go with our Teton Sports Adventure Cots. While not necessary, they provide a whole ton of comfort to an already luxurious sleep setup.

The Comfortlite Sleeping Pads that we purchased were the Regular 2″ version. They’re insulated which makes them self inflating. They are 26″x6″ when rolled up and weigh 2 lbs 12 oz. They offer two inches of padding when inflated and are spacious (75″x25″x2″). The insulation means they’re great for winter camping and, if you use them on the ground, will provide plenty of protection from heat loss.

They can be used by themselves or with the Teton Sports Cots. Either way you’ll get an incredibly comfort night’s sleep.

Oh, and the awesome bit: the sleeping pads velcro together, which is perfect for couples! We have used these for week long trips with our cots. velcroing the pads together meant it was easier to use both normal bedding and double wide sleeping bags without cold breezes coming up between the pads.

Conclusion

If you want to enjoy the outdoors, but get a good, comfortable night’s sleep at the same time, check out the Teton Sports Adventurer Cot and Comfortlite Insulated Sleeping Pads.

These cots and sleeping pads are an excellent investment. They will give you an excellent night’s sleep in the outdoors and serve double duty as luxurious guest beds for when you have company.

Everyone that we’ve loaned them to has been impressed… and a little reluctant to give them back!
