Looks like a Cam-o-bed/Disc-o-cot.  We've got two of them.  They are pretty cool.  I use a cheap tie-downs on the ends instead of the staps it came with, and it makes them a LOT sturdier.

How do you like the disc cot? I’ve been eyeballing them for a long time and always wondered if the utility was really there or not.
What country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.

I hate double stacked cots if someone is above you, every time someone moves you feel it. But the top bunk is great for storage use while sleeping on the bottom.

I've slept in the Disc-o-beds quite a bit, and they wiggled a bit until I changed the tie-down straps.  The bottom bunk can freeze you out if it's cold.  Temps got down around -12° in Montana a few years back, and there was hoar frost about a foot up from the floor.  Had the stove set to  the "below minus 25°" setting, and both ceiling fans on...it was so hot you couldn't hardly sleep on the top bunk, and freezing (literally) on the bottom.  That's only happened once, been great otherwise.

We had a set we used for the kids and they worked great.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

I hope they work good! Better than sleeping in the dirt. Gotta squeeze 5 of us in here in MT this year! I like that they don’t have to be set up as bunks if you don’t need them to be.

I abaolutely love my wall tent setup. 2 notes from the setup this season so far.

1. I need to get a gasket to fit around the 4 inch pipe to fill the gap for a 5 inch pipe stove jack hole to reduce any moisture in tent during posible heavy rain.

2. After running stove for days I noticed a lot of black soot that fell onto top of tent. Did not burn or anything but can get pretty messy when cleaning. What is the best cleaner for black soot removal to make tent look clean up top. Still looks good but don't want it to look nasty down the road.
Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

Never had the soot problem. What are you burning, dry wood?

This is the place I bought my tent years ago. I called them and they told me a mixture and ratio of products to put in a sprayer. It worked absolutely amazing. Give them a call as I can't remember exactly

Kiln dried wood from a mill. Burns great. But will have to clean the pipes and such pretty good. Have ran 2 years with it and haven't done much cleanout on pipes and such but this last go it seemed heavy on black soot. That fell on top of stove jack port and made a bit of a mess.

I’ve only burned dry lodge pole pine, never had this problem.
