Inflate it, and it's standing
Close one valve, connect the included hand pump and inflate to 4.5 PSI. Five TPU air beams replace rigid poles, so there is nothing to assemble in the dark.

Inflate it, and camp is set
Hook the four corners to your 80 cm / 31.5 in cot, connect the pump, and the Neo Nest 80 Air rises on five TPU air beams. No poles to thread, no sections to flex in the dark, and packing down starts by opening a valve.
Inside there is 200 × 80 × 110 cm (78.7 × 31.5 × 43.3 in) of room under a ceiling you can sit up beneath, and the ceiling is mesh: the whole sky, from the cot. When the weather turns, buckle on the included roof cover. It is 3,000 mm silicone-coated nylon over the mesh, with two clear TPU panels so the view stays. For sustained or wind-driven rain, add the Air rainfly (sold separately).
The tent body weighs about 3.3 kg / 7.3 lb, and it pitches on the ground without a cot. Cot, rainfly and door poles are sold separately.
AIR-BEAM COT TENT
From bag to bed
Sit up, look up
Inside is 200 × 80 × 110 cm (78.7 × 31.5 × 43.3 in). The walls flare past vertical, so the room stays wide where your shoulders are.
The whole sky through the ceiling
Mesh runs from the ceiling into both doorways and all four corners: two doors, four corner vents and an open view overhead.
Roof cover in the box
When clouds move in, buckle the included roof cover over the mesh. It is 3,000 mm silicone-coated nylon with two clear TPU panels: light rain stays out, the view stays in.
Locked onto an 80 cm cot
Two sleeve pockets, two zip pockets and two buckle straps hold the floor to the cot frame. The tent stays put, and nothing hangs over the edges.
Or pitch it on the ground
The same tent stands on the ground without a cot, staked with the three aluminum pegs in the box. It is built for camps you drive to, not for the trail.
A valve that watches the pressure
A covered red relief valve opens on its own if pressure climbs above its set level. An extra stroke or a hot afternoon does not stress the beams.
Small things, already inside
Lantern hook, multi-purpose loop, mesh pocket, roof storage shelf and a cable entry door. Fabric panels zip over the mesh when you want privacy.
Structure and setup
Structure
Five air poles, two valves and a relief valve
Five TPU air poles of Ø80 mm / 3.1 in run front, rear, left side, center and right side. Two air valves let you close one and inflate through the other, and a covered red pressure-relief valve opens on its own when pressure rises above its set level, venting the excess to protect the beam. The five air-pole zippers are secured with cable ties that protect the inner tubes — leave them in place.
Setup
Attach to the cot, then inflate
Set the floor onto the cot, slide the two sleeve pockets and zip the two zip pockets over the corners, then tension the two buckle straps. Close one inlet valve, connect the included hand pump to the other and inflate to 4.5 PSI / 0.31 bar, 20–30 strokes. The Air One Pro 22 (sold separately) reaches the same pressure in about 45 seconds. Without a cot, the tent pitches on the ground and takes three aluminum pegs. Then buckle the roof cover on when you want it.
The middle ground
Nothing on the roof, nothing on the ground
Rooftop tents get you off the ground. So does this, with nothing on your roof. The tent rides inside in one bag and stands on the cot in 20–30 pump strokes, with its floor on the cot, not in the mud. When you drive out, it stays at camp.

“Insanely comfortable” on a near-freezing night
“Moisture aside, this thing is insanely comfortable.” On the roof cover: “It's much easier to throw that thing onto the air tent system than it is to guy out a complete rainfly.” — Talon Sei, YouTube

Every option trades something away. Here's what each one costs you, and where the cot tent sits.

| In a line | A bedroom bolted to your vehicle | A room on the ground | A bedroom made of your cargo space | A bedroom you set down wherever you park |
| Best at | Moving every day — up in a few minutes | Staying put, with room to stand | Almost no setup | A real bed off the ground, nothing on the roof |
| Off the ground | Yes | No | Yes | Yes — 40 cm / 16 in, or 23 cm / 9 in |
| On your roof | 110–165 lb plus a rack | Nothing | Nothing | Nothing |
| Drive out, camp stays | No — pack the bed first | Yes | No | Yes |
| Sit up or stand | Sit up | Stand, in larger tents | Rarely either | Sit up — 110 cm / 43 in (Air) |

Before you order
A one-person air tent sized to a cot
Inside is 200 × 80 × 110 cm (78.7 × 31.5 × 43.3 in): one sleeper, with height to sit up. The tent body is about 3.3 kg / 7.3 lb, and the set with roof cover and hand pump packs to 55 × 25 × 28 cm (21.7 × 9.8 × 11.0 in).
Light rain, yes. A storm, no.
With the included roof cover on, the tent handles showers and light rain. For sustained or wind-driven rain, pitch the Air rainfly (sold separately), and take the tent down when strong wind, heavy rain or snow is forecast. Keep burners, heaters and open flame out of the tent.
Inflate to 4.5 PSI, leave the cable ties alone
Close one of the two inlet valves and pump the other to 4.5 PSI (0.31 bar), 20–30 strokes with the included hand pump. The covered red relief valve opens by itself if pressure rises above its set level. The cable ties on the five air-pole zippers protect the inner tubes and must stay on.
Made for an 80 cm cot, or no cot at all
Compatible with the Mount River Wide Cot 80 and cots with the same frame structure and attachment method. Third-party cots may not fit even at identical dimensions. It also pitches on the ground without a cot. Cot, rainfly and door poles are sold separately.

"Pretty much drum taut… a very comfortable platform."
"Moisture aside, this thing is insanely comfortable."
"A total price of just $584, which I think is great value." (US$, Early Bird)

Questions about the Neo Nest 80 Air
Will it fit a cot I already own?
It is built for the Mount River Wide Cot 80 and for cots with the same frame structure and attachment method, at 80 cm / 31.5 in wide. The four corner pockets and two buckle straps depend on how the frame is built, so a third-party cot may not fit even at identical dimensions. If yours is not a match, the tent also pitches on the ground.
What pressure does it take, and is the hand pump enough?
Inflate to 4.5 PSI (0.31 bar). The hand pump in the box is enough on its own: close one inlet valve and pump the other for 20–30 strokes. The Air One Pro 22 (sold separately) reaches 4.5 PSI in about 45 seconds; the Tornado 25 tops out at 2.5 PSI, so finish with the hand pump if you use it.
What do I need for rain?
For showers and light rain, the roof cover in the box: buckle it over the mesh ceiling, and its 3,000 mm silicone-coated nylon keeps the rain off while the clear TPU panels keep the view. For sustained rain or rain driven by wind, add the Air rainfly (sold separately), which covers the whole tent and adds a vestibule. Take the tent down when strong wind, heavy rain or snow is forecast.
What comes in the box?
The tent body, the roof cover, a manual air pump, three aluminum pegs with a pouch, two fixing straps and a storage bag. The cot, rainfly, rainfly door poles, sleeping pad and electric pumps are sold separately, so staged photos may show items you need to buy.
Can I use it on the ground without a cot?
Yes. The tent is freestanding and pitches straight on the ground with the three aluminum pegs in the box. It is built for camps you drive to: the tent, cot and pump together are not a backpacking load.
How do I deflate and pack it?
Open both outlet caps and wait about 10 minutes for the beams to empty, then roll from the end opposite the outlets. Packed size is 55 × 25 × 28 cm (21.7 × 9.8 × 11.0 in) in the storage bag, with the roof cover and pump inside. Between trips, store it loosely folded.
How long does setup take?
About 10–15 minutes the first time, cot included: click the four leg frames, fasten the tent's four corners, then 20–30 strokes with the hand pump to 4.5 PSI. The Air One Pro 22 (sold separately) does the inflating in about a minute. It gets quicker, but it is not a one-latch rooftop tent.
Can I stand up inside?
No. Inside is 200 × 80 × 110 cm (78.7 × 31.5 × 43.3 in): you sit up, change and read. For standing room, pair it with an awning or shelter.
Does it get condensation?
It can. On a cold, humid night with every panel zipped, moisture collects inside any closed-up tent. Leave two corner vents open and air it out in the morning. If condensation is your main concern, the poly-cotton Neo Nest 80 Natural breathes better, though some moisture can still form. Its roof cover is for shade, so add the Natural rainfly (sold separately) when rain is forecast.
How is it different from a rooftop tent?
Both get you off the ground. A rooftop tent opens faster and sits higher; this one puts nothing on your roof, packs inside the vehicle and stays at camp when you drive out. It takes a few more steps. If you move camp every day, a rooftop tent may suit you better.
Can two people use it?
Without tents — inside a cabin or shelter — two Wide Cot 80s buckle side by side into a 160 cm / 63 in double, and two Sky Mats join along their Velcro edges. Each Neo Nest 80 is a one-person room on one cot, so two people use two cots and two tents.
When will I get it?
Each product page shows two dates: Reserve, on our next container from Korea, and Express Air, on the next weekly flight at regular price plus an air charge. From our warehouse it's about 3–7 business days to you in Canada and 4–10 in the continental US, with no duties or import fees — we cover them. How shipping works →
Curator's note
What you give up with air beams is a pump; what you get back is a tent that goes from bag to standing in 20–30 strokes, on a cot you already sleep on. The roof cover now comes in the box, and that changes how I would use this tent: mesh open for the stars, cover on when the sky closes in, rainfly only when the forecast means it. The 110 cm / 43.3 in interior height is the part people notice, since you sit up in it instead of reversing out of it. Budget for the cot and, for a wet trip, the rainfly.
