Does anybody have expierence with these? I'm thinking about buying one for shorter 1 or 2 night trips. I'm not huge but about 210lbs. Wondering if I'll just end up rolling to the middle and being uncomfortable?

I have had a Tentsile (first pictured) for about 5 years. It's super comfortable and made from super high-quality material. It honestly feels like you are sleeping on a trampoline in a good way.
If it is setup correctly with the correct tension on each of the ratchets you shouldn't find yourself rolling into the middle. In order to have the correct tension the three trees you are tying off to need to be in the correct spot. This might sound easy but honestly I have had trouble finding trees that were in the "right spot" at times.
Another gripe is the size of it. It is not a good tent if you plan to hike or backpack with it as it is too big and heavy.
For the most part it is an awesome product.
