Gander Mountain Mojo Cot – Elevated Camping Comfort
We designed the Gander Mountain Mojo Cot for campers who refuse to sacrifice comfort in the backcountry. This elevated sleeping platform keeps you off the cold, uneven ground with a sturdy steel frame that supports up to 300 pounds.
The breathable polyester fabric promotes airflow throughout the night, while the no-sag center bar prevents that hammock effect common in budget cots. Our collapsible design sets up in under two minutes without tools, and the included carry bag with shoulder strap makes transport effortless whether you’re heading to a campsite or storing it between adventures.

Frame Construction & Weight Capacity
The Gander Mountain Mojo Cot features a powder-coated steel frame engineered for stability on uneven terrain. We reinforced the corner joints with double-locking mechanisms that eliminate wobble, even when you shift positions during the night.
Our 300-pound weight capacity accommodates most adults comfortably, with the center support bar distributing weight evenly across the sleeping surface. The frame legs include rubber caps that grip tent floors without causing damage, and the 17-inch elevation provides ample clearance for gear storage underneath. When you’re ready to pack up, the collapsible design reduces the cot to a compact 37-inch bundle that fits in most vehicle trunks alongside your other camping cots or gear bins.
Fabric & Sleeping Surface
We selected 600-denier polyester for the Mojo Cot’s sleeping surface because it balances durability with breathability. The fabric stretches just enough to contour to your body without creating pressure points, while the reinforced edge stitching prevents fraying after repeated use.
The breathable weave promotes air circulation beneath you, which helps regulate temperature in warm weather and prevents moisture buildup during cooler nights. Unlike mesh alternatives that can feel unstable, our polyester fabric offers a firm, predictable sleeping platform that pairs well with standard sleeping pads for added insulation. The fabric attaches to the frame with spring-loaded tension bars that maintain tautness throughout the night, eliminating the sagging common in cots with elastic cords.
Setup & Portability
Quick Assembly Process
We built the Gander Mountain Mojo Cot for campers who value their time at camp. The tool-free assembly involves unfolding the main frame, locking the support legs into place, and attaching the fabric with pre-installed tension bars. Most users complete setup in 90 seconds to two minutes, even on their first attempt.
The included carry bag features padded shoulder straps and reinforced stitching at stress points, making transport comfortable whether you’re hiking a quarter-mile to your site or loading it into an RV. At 16.5 pounds, the Mojo Cot sits in the mid-weight range for elevated cots, offering serious durability without the back-breaking heft of military-surplus models. We also designed the Gander Mountain folding cot as a lighter alternative for backpackers who prioritize minimal weight over maximum elevation.

Common Questions About the Mojo Cot
The Mojo Cot has a 300-pound weight capacity. The reinforced steel frame and center support bar distribute weight evenly across the sleeping surface, ensuring stability for most adults.
We tested this capacity with dynamic movement to simulate realistic sleeping conditions, not just static loading. The frame maintains its structural integrity even when users shift positions throughout the night.
Most users complete setup in 90 seconds to two minutes without tools. The process involves unfolding the frame, locking the support legs, and attaching the fabric with pre-installed tension bars.
First-time setup may take slightly longer as you familiarize yourself with the locking mechanisms, but the design is intuitive enough that most campers master it after one attempt. We included visual setup guides on the carry bag for quick reference in the field.
The Mojo Cot measures 75 inches long by 25 inches wide when assembled, so it fits comfortably in most three-person and larger tents. We recommend checking your tent’s floor dimensions to ensure at least 80 inches of usable length.
The 17-inch elevation provides clearance for gear storage underneath, which helps maximize your tent’s interior space. For two-person tents, measure carefully as some models have tapered ends that may limit placement options.
A sleeping pad is optional but recommended for cold-weather camping below 50°F. The breathable fabric promotes airflow, which feels great in warm weather but can lead to heat loss when temperatures drop.
For three-season use in moderate temps, most campers find the Mojo Cot comfortable without additional padding. Side sleepers sometimes add a thin pad for extra shoulder cushioning regardless of temperature. We designed the fabric tension to work with or without pads, so you won’t lose the firm sleeping surface when layering.
The cot folds to 37 inches long by 6 inches wide by 6 inches tall, and weighs 16.5 pounds. The included carry bag has padded shoulder straps for comfortable transport to your campsite.
This packed size fits in most vehicle trunks, truck beds, and RV storage compartments without requiring dedicated space. The cylindrical shape also allows you to nestle other gear around it efficiently during packing.
We use 600-denier polyester fabric with reinforced edge stitching for the sleeping surface. This material balances durability with breathability, promoting air circulation while resisting tears and abrasion.
The fabric attaches to the frame with spring-loaded tension bars that maintain tautness throughout use. Unlike mesh alternatives, our polyester weave provides a predictable, firm platform that won’t sag or feel unstable when you move during the night.
Wipe down the fabric with a damp cloth after each trip to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use mild soap and warm water, then air-dry completely before storage to prevent mildew.
Store the cot in a dry location with the fabric detached from the frame when possible. Inspect frame joints and support bars periodically for wear, and avoid dragging the assembled cot across rough surfaces that could damage the rubber leg caps. With proper care, your Mojo Cot will last for many seasons of camping.
