Upgrade your basecamp sleep quality with the Tropics Cot. Featuring an oversized 84.6" × 31.5" sleeping surface that significantly dwarfs standard camping cots, it gives you the freedom to sprawl out. Engineered with a convertible high/low aluminum frame, it offers rock-solid support and is custom-designed to perfectly integrate with the Tropics 1 Backpacking Tent.

Product Details

Oversized "King" Dimensions: measuring 84.6 × 31.5 in (215 × 80 cm), it is significantly wider and longer than standard compact cots, giving you ample room to roll over freely without hitting the side rails.
Dual-Height Versatility: easily adapts to your environment. Use it in Low Mode (7.5" off the ground) for smaller spaces, or install the included leg extensions for High Mode (15.4") to create an elevated camp bench and massive under-bed storage space.
16-Point Heavy-Duty Support: unlike standard 8-leg cots, our High Mode utilizes a massive 16-leg stance (4 legs per cross-strut). Combined with a rugged 600D Oxford cloth deck, it supports up to 330 lbs (150 kg) while aggressively distributing weight to prevent sinking into soft ground.
Compact & Portable: despite its massive open size and 16-leg architecture, the clever lever-lock frame design allows it to pack down completely into a compact 29.5" × 6.7" carry bag, making it effortless to transport in a trunk or on a motorcycle.

Is this cot difficult to assemble?

It utilizes a sturdy lever-lock tension system. While the first assembly might require a firm press to lock the 4 cross-struts into place, this extreme tension is exactly what keeps the 600D sleeping surface drum-tight and sag-free. Once you get the hang of the leverage, setup takes just a few minutes.

How do I switch between High and Low modes?

Low Mode (7.5"): Attach the 4 cross-struts directly to the side poles. The rubber feet on the struts sit directly on the ground.

High Mode (15.4"): Insert the 16 included leg extensions (4 per strut) into the strut hubs. This raises the bed to bench height, making it easier to sit down, stand up, and store gear underneath.

Does it work with the Tropics 1 Backpacking Tent?

Yes, they are custom-designed for each other! The cot dimensions (215x80cm) match the Tropics 1 Tent floor perfectly.
Note: The cot does NOT go inside the tent. Instead, the Tropics 1 Tent features specialized corner sleeves that slip directly over the top of this cot. This elevates your entire tent off the cold, muddy ground for the ultimate sleep system.

Can I take this backpacking?

We do not recommend it for long-distance hiking. At 8.42 lbs (3.82 kg), this cot is built for maximum comfort, durability, and size, making it ideal for car camping or motorcycle touring where carrying capacity is less restricted.

Will the cot sink into soft mud or sand?

Thanks to the 16-leg weight distribution system and anti-slip rubber pads on every foot, this cot performs exceptionally well on soft ground, minimizing the abrasion and sinking commonly seen with standard cots.
