Can one sit up straight (on a mat or raised surface) comfortably in the tent without head hitting the ceiling?

Yes you can sit up if you are sitting on a mat. The raised surface would depend on the height. I am 5'7" and there is plenty of room for me to sit.

Yes. We gave this tent to our grandson who is six and he and three other children of that age group plus one adult were in the tent at one time. It was tight but they all were able to sit with legs crossed. The adult was short if that helps any. The kids love setting it up on weekends and sleeping in it in the house. They also bring it to our house for sleepovers. Lots of fun for them.

You will definitely hit your head on the ceiling. I'm 5'10" with a 8-foot ceiling, and it's very close.

I have never done it alone, but I do believe I could if I had to. The tent is not difficult to put up.

Without puling it out of the storage, that is what I know. I'm 5'10" and used on my camping trip last year,, it quite comfortable, I had several inches left at the head and foot side, and after using pillow, I had a comfortable nights. It is slightly narrower than regular cot, that's give extra room In tent, the width does not affect comfort.

I see no reason why you can't just prop it up in front. The main feature is the tenting that keeps our hands in a more natural position.

You do not need to yurn your head. It can be adjusted to any position, height and orientation

I'm 5'4 and about the same weight. I had plenty of room for me,and my supplies. I think you would be alright. My feet were no where close to touching the end of the tent in the laying position.

If your tent has a vestibule without a floor, that would be OK, else no, though when weather is bad enough, I've used a Svea inside a tent, on top of an overturned fry pan or such.

I suppose you could use this indoors. The difficulty being, this tent requires you to stake it down, in order for the tent stays erect. It doesn't stay up on it's own like a traditional dome tent. I hope that answer helps. :)

Yes that isn't a problem. The piece may tilt a little more tword you but that shouldn't cause a problem. That taller party will need to bend there knees a little more than you during positioning

it just sits on carpet, no serious falls. Put a blanket over the top, makes a great tent!

You need to recline to be comfortable. It is not meant to be used in the upright position.

I'm 5'10". I think you would find the tent wide enough for you and your gear, but the length might be a snug fit. I would guess that either your feet or your head will be touching part of the tent, which could cause moisture intrusion problems. I found that the tent kept the moisture out, but there was some condensation on the inside in the morning.

The answer to your question is yes. you can have the feet up without having the back down.

If one was a smaller person it would be cramped but possible. I am 6' and have sat in the tent but it was uncomfortable.

No because it lays flat on a surface. It would be unstable beyond a sitting position or laid flat.

I'd say a qualified "yes, you can sit up pretty straight". The bedframe itself isn't a 90 degree angle, but with a mattress the user effect is nearly 90 degrees. May depend some on the mattress you choose.
