Great tent for one person and great quality materials. Although I bought it for two people. It may have lots of floor space, but it isn't usable for sleeping, yes, even when you sleep foot to head, and also, how often can you find a perfectly flat tent site in the backwoods that would allow that type of sleeping arrangment?

For just myself with all my gear inside it's wonderful and spacious. But you try and get two 6 footers in without jamming your feet or heads into the tent's sidewalls. The tent allows no room to move, without jamming in to the sidewalls. Maybe if you had a regular length sleeping bag and a half length sleeping pad (Square full length pads don't fit without one of the corners bending on the side wall) and stayed in a perfect mummy position all night.

No thank you, I'll wash my money down the drain and get another tent.
