Waterhead How much water pressure the fabric holds back before it seeps through, in millimetres: a column of water that tall is stood on the fabric in a lab test. A higher number held back more in that test.

| Price per person | $374.75 derived: $1,499 (price today) ÷ 4 (the brand's rating) = $374.75 for each person | $339.80 derived: $1,699 (price today) ÷ 5 (the brand's rating) = $339.80 for each person |
How many a tent sleeps is the brand's rating, not a measure of space. Floors are compared only with the same kind of floor. Waterheads are compared only for the same part, and no brand says how it tested. Weights are as each source lists them; most don't say what they include.

What neither listing gives
These figures would help answer the questions above, but none of the pages read give them for either (checked 14 Oct 2026):
- Floor size: whether your mattresses fit inside.
- Floor per person.
- Weight.
- Warranty.
