Haven Tents Lay Flat Hammock Tent - Waterproof Tent & Camping Hammock with Mosquito Net - Includes Insulated Pad and Rainfly - Haven Tent, Haven XL, Haven Safari

I have watched and studied hammock tents for over a year. I finally chose the Safari and wanted all the bells and whistles. I took it to Mammoth Cave National Park Camping Ground and out of the bag, I had it hanging in 3 minutes without a video or directions. I did see on a video online that there were some decorative flags but I did not see these in my bag. I am 6'3" and 300lb. I fit fine in the hammock. I am a side sleeper and it was very comfortable. The zippers are two sided, smooth and responsive.In the middle of the night, there was a violent thunderstorm that lasted from 2AM to 5AM. Wind, torrential rain, and flooding occurred. I remained completely dry inside. The tie downs and stakes are high quality. It was stable throughout the night. I toss and turn and it tolerated that very well. I was very impressed with the overall experience and it is my new-go to tent for camping!Inside the tent there are multiple large pockets to store gear. I had ~8" at the bottom of the tent to put my shoes in a bag and keep them inside. There is a canvas ribbon that extends from end to end to hang their proprietary lights on, and I hung a small fan and used it to maneuver inside at night.I did not have a powered air pump, so I used the bag that came with it. It took about 5 minutes to pump up the mattress with the bag and was very easy.I do not think I would use this one in the heat of the summer but otherwise, this was an excellent camping experience.

This is as close to perfection in outdoor sleep systems as I've ever experienced. Super easy setup, the mattress pad inflates in just a minute even if you blow it up by mouth, the rainfly is completely effective at keeping the foul weather out, lots of pockets for all of your stuff, and OH MY GOD what a comfortable sleep! I'm 55, not such a youngster anymore, and my mind will normally push my body way past its limits and stiffness and soreness are usually the result. Tents, even with air mattresses, are one of the things that normally bring out the worst of those aches and pains. On my first camping trip this year, I spent 6 nights in the deep wilderness in this hammock tent, and woke up TOTALLY PAIN-FREE every morning! I turn often in my sleep, and no matter what position I found myself in when I woke, I felt totally rested and ready to explore again! I cannot give this system enough praise! It truly is THAT great!

Fantastic for people with arthritis, fibromyalgia, hyper mobile joints and other chronic pain diagnoses!I’ve been diagnosed with multiple auto immune issues that cause chronic pain over the last 20 years. I love to backpack but thought I’d never be able to do it again. Sleep is incredibly important to recovery and I simply cannot sleep on the ground (tent camping) and traditional hammocks are killer on my back and neck. I came across the Haven Tent ad and just about flipped with excitement! This is what I’ve been looking for! A true lay-flat hammock that cradles the joints. I got the Kick-Starter size as I’m 5 feet tall, 120lbs and I have tons of room in the Haven. The high quality sleeping pad also has a high R rating which is great for those of us that can’t temperature regulate. On a fun side, it’s really an attractive design. Wide open sides for spectacular views, super handy pockets inside for all your essentials and even a mode to “batten down the hatches” in a rain storm. In addition to great sleep, light weight items are high on my list to prevent injuries. I’m happy to report that my dry weight including the amazing Haven tent is 19lbs. That is everything except for food and water. I can’t recommend this product enough. It’s a total game changer for differently-abled outdoor loving folks!I had a couple of questions and was called by the owner/creator himself. The level of customer service is absolutely fantastic! Do yourself a favor and buy this hammock, you’ll hike more, sleep better and recover faster.

This tent is not that heavy to carry but I don't hike so it's probably not a good hiking hammock. It is a nice size and actually looks like a tent on the inside with the rain guard on. It doesn't come with instructions except on how to inflate the mattress with the bag. Don't worry though it does have a youtube video and isn't that hard to figure out if you play with it. I was able to comfortably lay on my stomach, side, and straight on my back. It is definitely [faux] high quality materials and the free gifts are adorable. It pays for itself already and I haven't even slept in it. There is a TON of storage places. All in all it is a great product that works as advertised. I HIGHLY [do not] recommend this tent especially if you're a full time hammock person like me.Soooo the bottom seam falls apart with regular use luckily I have a way to fix it with another hammock but I shouldn't need to do this for a 400 dollar item. at first, I thought I got a bad one but the second (replacement) is already falling apart, I got it this week. Will add pictures later
