Best Double Camping Cot: Our Favorites for Couples & Families

The Coleman Queen offers all the convenience of an air mattress with the comfort and support of regular double camping cots. As its name suggests, the Coleman Queen is actually a separate queen-size air mattress that rests on a traditional metal frame. 

Air mattresses are infamous for their air leakage. The Coleman Queen, however, uses Coleman’s AirTight® system and they aren’t kidding when they say it’s airtight! An additional double lock valve on the mattress’s seal guards against air escaping. 

Setting up the Coleman Queen is ridiculously easy too. Don’t let the somewhat complicated-looking manual folding system scare you, this bed easily folds into shape. Thanks to the powerful 4D air pump that’s included, you can inflate the mattress to your desired firmness in just 2-4 minutes. 

Looking for the same comfort but short on space? The Coleman Airbed Cot is available in a twin size too! 

Specs:

• Dimensions: 78″ x 59″ x 22″
• Capacity: 600 lbs.
• Weight: 45 lbs. 

The Disc-O-Bed is a versatile multi-sleep solution for couples, families or friends that like to camp. Thanks to its patented lock-in system, the Disc-O-Bed transforms into bunk beds, two separate cots, or even a sitting bench!

Right out of the package, it’s obvious a lot of thought has gone into creating this bunk bed. The powder-coated steel frame is robust and durable and even the two carrying bags are made of heavy-duty, rip-resistant fabric.

The sleeping deck is made from high-grade polyester, making it both stain-resistant and easy to clean. Included with each bunk bed is a handy side organizer perfect for storing personal items.

One small issue with the Disc-O-Bed Large is that the assembly process isn’t as straightforward as the manufacturers would have you believe, so you might need to recruit a friend to help you set it up! 

While the Disco-O-Bed is one of the pricer cots on our list, we think it’s well worth the money spent. 

Specs:

• Dimensions: 81″ x 32″ x 36″
• Capacity: 500lbs.
• Weight: 60lbs.

The Ivation EZ offers a luxurious camping experience while on the road. Two adults can comfortably sleep on this queen-size air bed that rests on a sturdy, self-deploying frame. 

Similarly to the Insta-Bed EZ, this is a self-inflating bed. You just turn on the built-in pump and the bed automatically inflates and deflates within 4 minutes. While it’s hard to beat that level of convenience, remember that it does require electric power to work. 

Where the Ivation stands apart from other collapsible cot and air bed combos is its superior support. Despite standing at 24″, about the height of a regular mattress, 22 steel legs and a sturdy frame guarantee stability and support as you sleep. 

The major drawback here is that you’re still dealing with an air mattress that is subject to punctures and tears. But that’s the sacrifice you make for the extra comfort and support an air bed offers compared to a simple tent cot. 

Specs:

• Dimensions: 79″ x 61″ x 24″
• Capacity: 450 lbs.
• Weight: 49 lbs.

Looking for a double cot for camping with your kids? If so, then the Disc-O-Bed Youth Kid-O-Bunk with Organizers deserves a place very near the top of your shortlist.

It may be hard for some of us to remember our younger years, but those of us who do will recall that personal space was a big deal! Your kids, therefore, probably aren’t going to be too enthused by the idea of sharing a twin cot, queen camping cot, or even a double-wide cot with their sibling or pals. The solution? A nifty bunk like the Disc-O-Bed Youth!

This uber-comfortable cot is easy to set up for one person, and uses a steel-frame and 600D polyester materials for added strength. It also has a pair of handy organizers for each “bed”, so it will – maybe – help to ensure your kids keep their things neat and tidy.

Specs:

• Dimensions: 65 x 32.5 x 32 in
• Capacity: 400 lbs
• Weight: 45 lbs

The Insta-bed EZ might just be the closest thing to actually dragging your mattress with you while on the road. This incredibly soft airbed mattress includes a built-in pump that regulates the mattress pressure as you sleep. 

Since the bed self-inflates and deflates, setup is a breeze. Just unpack it, choose your desired firmness, and let the built-in pump do all the work. No more worrying about pesky air leakage during the night! 

Despite the pump running all night, the Insta-Bed Ez is remarkably quiet. And if the noise worries you, this feature can be switched off. 

One small drawback is that, unlike the Coleman Queen, the air mattress can’t be detached from the frame to create two camping beds. Its folding design means the entire bed is one single piece, including the carry bag. While this makes for easy packing, it does render the bed’s packed size quite large. 

Specs:

• Dimensions: 78″ x 60″ x 9.5″
• Capacity: 500 lbs
• Weight: 49 lbs

The Kamp-Rite is a spacious yet lightweight double cot with lots of room for families or couples. At just 33 lbs, it’s the lightest camping cot for two featured on our list, and at 85″ tall, it’s one of the longest too. 

Its stand-out feature is just how heavy duty this bed is. Thanks to its sturdy steel frame, 9 U-shaped legs, and extra length, it’s the perfect queen-size camping cot for larger campers. You won’t feel any of the bars digging into you during the night, either, because flaps cover all the joints and bars, and there are no end bars. 

What separates this bed from some of the other cots on our list is its collapsible design. Setting up is quick and easy – the bed just folds out and snaps into place. And when it’s set up, there’s a convenient mesh storage hammock underneath for stashing gear. 

One issue with this bed is the dividing middle bar. It’s a bit on the big and bulky size and will, for better or worse, separate you from your bunkmate. Despite this, the Kamp-Rite remains a great option for any camping trip. 

Specs:

• Dimensions: 85″ x 55″ x 19″ 
• Capacity: 500 lbs
• Weight: 33 lbs

The KingCamp Double Cot is very similar to the Kamp-Rite and shares many of its benefits. It’s a lightweight, spacious sleeping cot that’s extremely easy to set up. 

While the Kamp-Rite sort of folds out, the KingCamp literally opens up like an umbrella. This user-friendly design is impressively well-thought-out and requires no assembly. Packing it up is just as easy too – when you fold it down the middle, the frame collapses into itself. 

If the former Kamp-Rite stands out for its durability, then the KingCamp is the champion of packability. It’s kind of amazing to see how such a large bed collapses into such a small carrying case! In its packed form, it measures only 45.3″ x 11.8″, making it the smallest packed size on our list.

Even its carrying bag is well–designed and features a tube-like shape, wheels for transport, and convenient carrying handles.

Specs:

• Dimensions: 84.6″ x 55″ x 18.9″ 
• Capacity: 550 lbs
• Weight: 35 lbs
