Last summer camping I got attacked my hornets and bugs when I had any food, got this for this years summer camping and it prevented any hornets, bees,Flys, and spiders getting my food or crawling on me. I just put a small table and little chair in it and works perfectly. My family said it was stupid when I first got it. Look whos laughing now in there safe net dome while you complain about the bugs trying to get your food

I bought two of these to use when my grandson and I went on a mission trip to a poor village in Jamaica. They worked great - The mattress fit inside the net tent, the zippers worked, and no mosquitos or bugs got in! The reason I gave 4 stars is that its a little difficult to fold back up to put inside the nice carrying bag it came in.

Perfect for keeping out bugs! It is very thin and rips easily I might have to get another to replace this one and it’s only a week or so old /: it’s smaller than a full size bed so i may order the bigger one to see if that fits better too. The concept is excellent exocution not so much.

This worked out great but was smaller than expected and quality not great. It arrived with flaws open areas in material.

Bought this netted product for a trip to Africa. Even though we stayed in "high end" lodges, when the employees would come in to change towels, change the sheets, etc. . . . they would allow bugs to come in. Those bugs would lie in wait until dusk. The bedrooms had sealed windows as well as bug screen "curtains" around the bed, but I needed an extra layer for peace of mind.Tested these via a trip to Mexico (where there aren't just flying insects, but insects that approach via the floor, ceiling and bed . . . despite the number of stars a hotel might have after its name). My daughter gets horrific welts after just 1 bite. Testing indicated she isn't allergic, but the bite area becomes severely red and swollen. Like to sleep soundly . . . so . . . can't do that if I am worrying about bugs when traveling internationally.So . . . researched for months . . . almost pulled the trigger on the sleeping bag size one . . . but it had a solid plastic bottom and that retains heat. Finally saw this one. I think Amazon just negotiated with these vendors, because I didn't see them earlier. For the price (and free prime shipping) gave it a shot.A few things:1. Netting holes are very small. Nothing got through. After a great deal of research . . . discovered this screen has approximately 32 holes cm². If you do the math . . . 7cm² = 1.09in². That means you have approximately 224 holes in². Most screens are 225 holes in². I've seen a few as high as 285in².2. Pops up right away.3. Stows in zippered bag, which creates a nice, flat item to pack. When you put the item back in the bag, make VERY certain that you don't catch the netting on the backside of the zipper.4. Although it comes with a diagrammed instruction sheet about refolding and stowing . . . WATCH the video. Search for "Portable Folding Freestand Net Bed video". There are a few on You Tube. DON'T attempt to fold it without looking at this video. One is: http://nortonsafe.search.ask.com/search?chn=1000&ctype=videos&doi=2016-10-13&geo=US&guid=4C2D23DE-1EAD-4C51-A6DF-1685FD07F62C&locale=en_US&o=APN11918&p2=%5EEQ%5Efd20us%5E&page=1&prt=NSBU&q=portable+folding+freestand+bed+net+video&tpr=10&ver=225. The 1.5 and 1.8 are folded different from the 1.0 and 1.2. Pay attention to this or you could damage the item.6. Folding is easy . . . got the hang of it in about 5 minutes. Practice folding it prior your trip so you don't get frustrated.7. The folded dimensions of these items were important for us . . . especially for the Africa trip. While this item is extremely lightweight, the noted dimensions were just a bit off. I have attached a picture of 2 of them . . . the larger is the 1.5. The smaller is the 1.2. You can clearly see that the 1.5 is 23.75" wide when packed while the 1.2 is 20.5" wide when packed. We brought 3 of the 1.2s to Africa due to the width dimensions of our suitcase. (For some reason my photo posts on its side despite uploading upright).8. This item sits on the top of the bed. You will need to put the sheets and comforter inside of this item. (Ideally, they will make one with the edges like a fitted sheet . . . to "fit" around the top of the mattress, but no one has thought of that yet.) I bring an extra lightweight sheet. And open over the bottom screening of this item. And then import the the other sheets, comforter and pillows into it. I am 6'0" and have at least 2" extra below my feet when I am laying in this item with my head on a pillow.9. Something else that I do to keep this item in place (although I haven't had an issue with it "walking" off of the bed). I use mattress clips . . . and clip one of those at each corner (with fabric under the clip so it does not rip the screen) and then clip the other end to the bottom at the mattress at each corner.You will need very little effort to use this. But I can only assume that you are using this item because you are in a place internationally that might not be safe from an insects standpoint, i.e., malaria, dengue in Africa. Zika in Mexico, etc. It is worth the extra effort (in my estimation) especially since this item is incredibly lightweight, inexpensive and easy to fold.Our only other alternative was to cover ourselves in 30-40% deet prior to going to bed . . . and hope that a mosquito with malaria didn't somehow find the spot that we might have missed. We covered ourselves in deet every day . . . didn't feel like sleeping in that as well.Remember: Malaria is transmitted by the female Anopheles mosquito that bites humans from dusk to dawn, i.e., only at night. The Anopheles mosquito is SILENT. They don’t buzz so you CANNOT hear them. This means you are the target when you are asleep.Bed nets also offer protection from other diseases such as filariasis (known for massive swelling of the limbs) and other insects and arachnids like ticks, beetles, flies, and spiders. Remember that in malarious areas, bedrooms without tightly-fitting screens or broken screens require insecticide-treated mosquito bed nets, except in buildings with sealed windows and central air conditioning. Even in those rooms with standard precautions . . . there is no guarantee unless you are exceptionally cautious.
