  • Helps keep you cool during hot sleeping conditions.
  • The cot is a good item to purchase if you want extra comfort while sleeping without spending a lot of money on a high-end cot or sleeping pad.

Expert Reviews

  • Lightweight for easy carrying.
  • Flexible and versatile to adjust to nearly any season if you use it together with a sleeping bag during the colder months.
  • Easily packed when cleaning up after a camping trip.
  • The cot works well both indoors and outdoors for extra versatility.

Reasons NOT to buy:

User Reviews

  • Might be a little too heavy for longer backpacking trips.
  • The width might be too narrow for some body types to fit comfortably.
  • Some reports of the cot being too fragile to withstand durable use.

Expert Reviews

  • Might take some time to put together if you are new at using a cot.
  • Might need to use together with a foam pad to prevent heat loss during cold nights.
  • You might bottom out on the cot since you are so close to the ground, reducing the comfort and functionality.
  • Not the most durable option for use over multiple seasons.

Summary:

The Therm-a-Rest LuxuryLite Mesh Cot is a lightweight, budget-friendly, and comfortable option that works well for those who want a little extra comfort during camping trips. However, this is not the best option for backpackers who need to carry their gear long distances, or for those who want a high-end and high-cost cot/pad to last them multiple years. Even so, for those on a budget, this is a good option.
