Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
My cot keeps all bedding >1 foot off the ground. That is >1 foot closer to the condensation rainfall that always seems to target my pillow mostly, while I'm out. Camping is just a series of little battles. Please note: This forum is in no way officially associated with Lockn' Festival or its promoters.

I use a thermarest type pad that's padded but also you inflate it slightly, so it's a good combo, not thick, and still works if it deflates. I put this on a canvas "army cot" that sits about a foot off the ground. I also sleep in sheets, not a sleeping bag, with a summer weight cotton blanket and if needed a wool army blanket. No synthetics.
Apparently my pad pre-dates "self inflating" unless the new ones are like mine: I blow it up myself!

(WARNING: Inflator not included! Not bad actually, because you can purchase a 120v, 12v or manual inflator depending on your needs.)
What I like about this one is the way the 2 mattresses are zipped and clipped together, so they don't slide around. I am camping alone, so I use the double high configuration so I am higher off the ground. SOO much easier to get out of...
If I were you I would buy 2 and stack them in the king size config. ($43 bucks for one set, not too steep...)
So:
Even if one gets a leak, you have a spare so you are not on the ground.
The zippers and clips offer different configurations.
In a pinch you have 4 air mattresses...

For this method to work you have to trust that your neighbors won't draw penises on your face with Sharpies while your passed out.

For some reason it seems like it would leave me much more exposed, even though its about the same cloth on an ezup as it is on a tent wall. So that doesn't make sense.
And no bug issues?

There is one guy around here, however, who annually provokes a singular attack from some giant flying insect, but that's the exception.

I have been using an old cheap twin air mattress on top of my cot but I plan to experiment this year with a ridgerest or maybe a cot specific mat like Sneake posted.

I am brainstorming on a version I can make out of black iron or galvinized pipe for cheap. I had not saw this drive over style before, thanks for posting.
One of my summer projects is to build a hammock stand. Was going to (and may still) go with the "jim speer hammock stand" style cause I have saw those at trail days for years and they allow you to easily pitch a tarp too.

I agree with lobster. A tent you can stand in with a cot is the next best thing to an RV. But once you go RV you'll never go back.
