I will give you a bit of info on me so that others who were in my boat will be able to better understand. Im a large guy @ 6'5" and 330lbs. So for those of you wondering how it will hold up to us big guys, it did well. I never felt like it was under too much strain and was also long enough. I bought this tentcot with intentions of using it on monthly Boy Scout campouts. We generally dont hike in to our sleeping quarters otherwise you might be leaving this at home unless you have a pack mule to carry it for you. That was one of the biggest issues, but I knew this before getting it, so it was an expected problem. I have a truck, so it fits in the bed of it easily, if you have a small car that the rear seat doesnt fold down to slide it through you will be strapping this thing to the roof, it is large(see product for dimensions). I did buy an air mattress to fit inside, and fits almost perfectly to the inside dimensions, only problem with that for us longer people, with the approx. 8" of height added from the mattress and with the gradual taper from the ends of the tent, you lose about 6" of length(roughly). In otherwords your head and feet will be touching the ends at full extension if you are 6'5" or taller. I dont see it as a problem for me because I dont sleep at full extension, although I did not use this during my campout yet to see how it worked. I took the tentcot on its first excursion to Woodbadge(Scout Leadership Training), and it just happened to be in the low 20's so it got a good test, as well as a little bit of rain, but it held up well, and was very comfortable. Something else I need to mention is there is a bar that runs through the middle of the bed, its as if there were 2 cots stacked side by side, so if you were thinking of getting the double so that you could spraul out, you will definitely need the air mattress. I like this bar, because im a side sleeper and dont roll around much when sleeping so it was very comfy. I used the other side to set up all of my camping gear(backpack, clothes, lantern etc...). I also bought the underneath gear storage bag, i thought i would use this for my shoes and things that might be dirty or smell, to keep the tent clean, but also keeping the stuff from getting soaked in the rain if left outside. Its also very easy to setup. I do recommend practice at home, but after one try at home, I saw how easy it was, and you will always be the 1st one finished setting up your tent! As I use it more, I may notice more good or bad things, but for now I am very pleased with my product. And everyone that sees it will want one!

Just got this in and I haven't had a chance to test it out on a camping trip yet, but I did get a chance to set it up and check it out and inspect it.I want to start by saying that I am totally satisfied with the shipping (received next day air) from Amazon and received the package without any defects or missing/broken peices. The entire package included the tent cot, a large durable carry/storage bag, and rain fly. I was not expecting it to include the rain fly sense I keep seeing it sold as an 'accessory' but was thrilled to find out it was included. Saved me the $70 that I was considering spending to purchase one. Now on to setting it up. The details of the included instructions, as others have stated, are severly lacking, BUT being an experienced camper I have set up many tents so figuring this out was a breeze. The convenience of this product is fantastic. I did everything by myself and it literally took me 15 minutes from the time I opened the box to getting it fully set up and ready for use in my living room. Darn close to half the time it usually takes me to set up my regular 4 person tent. I beleive that when I go to test it out on a trip next week, I'll be able to cut the set-up time down to under 10 minutes. Upon inspection I want to note that the frame is very solid, very sturdy and built well. The fabric is thicker than most tents I've ever been in and well sewn together. The tent deminsions are accurate (located in the description). I'm 5'-7" and had plenty of room while laying down, but I could easily see someone 6'-2" or larger might come pretty close to touching the tapered down sides of the tent with their feet and forehead. Height wise, there is plenty of room to sit up and change clothes if need be, but its no where close to the height of an average tent that allows you to stand up or slouch down for a wider range of movement. As noted by nearly all the other reviews, there is a support beam that runs down the middle of the cot, basically dividing the sleep matt into two seperate cots. Now depending on your situation and plan of use for this product, this may or may not be a problem for you. If your going to share it with a buddy, then the seperation is great cause it allows you both your own rest area and you won't have to worry about rolling into one another. Now if your like me, I bought this for me and my wife and we are the "snuggling" type of couple, so in order to combat the support bar I layed down a queen air matteress to allow a complete freedom of movement. I was very afraid that it would not fit at first because the tent width deminsions are 52" and a queen air mattress is nearly 60" wide, but I placed the mattress inside un-aired and blew it up. And to my surprise it did fit! Very snug, but it did fit. So a major plus there!! You will lose some height room inside the tent, but for the extra comfort, its definitely a fair trade off.Pros:-Convenient and easy quick set-up.-Frame is solid and built very well, and the tent fabric seems to be very good quality.-Heavy duty zippers, wouldnt worry about them every breaking!-Plenty of room inside for two people & possibly a small child.-Small pocket storage on either side of the tent to store your phone, keys, flash light, etc.-Nearly 1' off the ground, so no more crawling out of a tent in the morning.Cons:-Even folded up and stored in its bag, it's very large. Could see it as a problem for someone with a small vehicle trying to transport it. I drive a jeep and even though it will most likely fit once I lay down the back seats, I will most likely strap it to my roof rack to allow more storage for other gear in the cab.-Weight is not much of an issue for me, but I'd like to note that it is pretty heffty.-Rail-road track of a support bar down the center, but like I said above, easily fixed with an air mattress.Summary and suggestions:-In the instructions, it tells you to attach the C clasps (which provide the ends of the tent cot greater stability) to the bottom support bar of the middle legs. This puts the clasps in direct contact with the ground and will most likely, IMO, put alot of unncessary stress on the plastic clasps giving them a chance to break. So I figure attaching the C clasps to the secondary support bar (directly above the one that comes in contact with the ground) will prevent any failing or breaking of the clasps.-Would also like to note that with every window/entry door zipped up, at night, this could become a huge problem for condensation build up by morning as it completely cuts off all ventilation from within the tent. I assume keeping the screen doors zipped shut and keeping the fabric tent doors rolled up at a minimum of half way up will reduce condensation.I give this thing 5 stars, because for any experienced camper, this thing is an awesome upgrade from the average tent! The cons of this tent (can be easily avoided) are a complete and fair trade off for its convenience and use. Can't wait to try it out next weekend!!*Update* 10/10/11Got a chance to try it out this past weekend and I loved it! I right away got alot of compliments from other campers right after I set up. I did as I suggested with the C-clasps and found no problem what so ever, worked great. Condensation wasn't much of an issue, I kept the side doors and the window at my feet rolled up with the screens zipped up. Also used the magnectic O2 Cool fan and hung it from the ceiling, it kept the tent very cool and very comfortable. Overwall, I had a very good experience and thought the tent held up very well, we even had a light rain in the morning and no water made it inside (didn't use the rain fly). Going to be using it again in a few weeks, can't wait!!

This is a great product. It sets up faster than a tent and it is comfy to sleep in. but they could have done a better job with ventilation. There should be some open vent area with some netting on the top kind of like a regular tent but there is none. This makes the inside build up humidity and especially in a cold day you will have a lot of condensation on the walls. In fact, it will get really wet. Other than that the double is very heavy and bulky to carry in the car.
