its for my son...he's moving out! only of the main tent - he has a camping bed tho rather than airbed as has a bad back so trying to find a little tent but one that he can sit up in when sitting on his bed...probs asking too much - there are a couple of ridge tents but with the pole at the entrance which if you knock over - or kick in sleep the tent will just fall down. I've searched websites but with nay joy...

Have you looked at the Vango Ark ?

I have the 4 person ( it's more like a 2 person ! ) and it's great ; easy to pitch , packs down small

A Vango Halo has good headroom. Look up videos on Youtube. Personally I would go for the three man rather than the two, but that might be pushing the 'pup tent' concept.

Is it a low camp bed? I have the vango force 10 mk 4 which is a three man but the poles are A frame type so no problem with the pole in the middle, good hight I use a low camp bed and its fine to sit up, not sure if it would be classed as a pup tent though.
