My teenage son is wanting a pop up tent for a festival only problem is is hes 6ft 2 n likes his comfy bed does anyone know if a single airbed fits these tents and would the tent be long enough for him to lay down in without his feet sticking out of the door.

...This popup tent is long enough, not that cheap though. Inner is 2.3mtres, 7ft6" so airbed would fit ok. Also look on Decathlon website, they do cheaper popups but the much smaller ones would probably not be long enough. In my experience & I am 6ft2", a tent with an inner of less than 2.3mtres is too short. 2mtre inner sounds long enough but in reality a tall person will contact sides at each end which is not good in rain & also uncomfortable.

It's a hard question to answer because there is a lot of pop up tents. I have three different types from Decathlon, the smallest being a 4 person although it's not discontinued, I think the biggest you can get in the 'small tent' catagory is 3, there's also a 2 and a 1 but I would rule those out for your lad. I also have the BS Seconds which is also a four person with an optional extra inner, but it's stand up height. I think it's 2.5m by 2.5. Then there's the cinch range, what's good about them is they have a door at each end so you can stop it heating up like a sauna with a through breeze. Lastly, don't let him even consider a single skinned one. I (when I knew no better) went solo camping in a Vango 2 man pop up with an airbed that took up the entire interior. I didn't know that the airbed touching the sides would wick the water in from the dew outside and made the bedding wet through - and what a miserable camp that was!
