The Helinox Cot One Convertible combines the highest quality engineering with non-stretch fabrics to produce an ultralight camp bed that is comfortable and durable.

The lever is on the left side of each leg. It has a pivoting arm that engages with the top frame bar. The other end of the lever is an uncompressed tab that you press to release it. This system makes use of mechanical leverage to provide great tension on the bed's surface without adding bulk or stress to the legs.

Another advantage of the Lite Cot is that it can be adjusted to different heights using the leg extensions. This is particularly useful when camping in an alpine region where you may require a higher level due to snow or uneven terrain. The low profile of the cot is not ideal for people who are active in their sleep or have to share a space with a partner.

As with other cots, the Lite Cot requires a bit of practice to put it together and take it down. But after a few uses, it becomes a breeze to pack and use. It's also extremely lightweight and compact for a cot and will fit in most cars, SUVs and vans, even if they are jam-packed with equipment. This makes it a great option for bike or car camping.
