Fast setup, standing room, air beams instead of the detested tent poles, and space!
We use an inflatable air-beam tent because it goes up quickly without a bundle of tent poles and gives us enough standing room for a comfortable campsite. Our complete shelter setup is the tent, longer stakes, a hammer, and a ground tarp.
Our tent inflates by hand in about three minutes. The tent is standing before the rest of camp is unloaded.
Room to stand, dress, make the beds, sort gear, and move around without crawling.
Firm inflatable beams replace the pole bundle and form the tent frame.
The complete shelter setup is the tent, longer stakes, a hammer, and a tarp underneath.
For us, the main advantage is setup. The tent inflates by hand in about three minutes, and the air beams replace the pole bundle. Once it is standing, there is enough room to stand, dress, make the beds, and move around without crawling.
For the rest of our setup, see our camping beds, camp comfort gear, camping power, and campground guide.

Glampabout tip: Always top off the tent before zipping up for the night. Visual inspection is not a reliable guide. Cold air can also soften the tent frame. Have a repair kit recommended by the manufacturer.
