Now that's a waterbed.
Campers can now spend the night on their favourite lake, river or creek thanks to a new invention - the Shoal Tent.
Made by Ohio-based company SmithFly, it costs £1,126 (NZD $2,092) and people as tall as 6ft 3in can lay down comfortably in it, reportsDaily Mail.
And, thankfully, erecting the 34kg makeshift abode is simple.
The product's website says: "There are no tent poles, the tent structure is totally inflatable and when inflated it stands up to high winds without a problem.'
It adds that the raft body "has three air chambers, two in the lower tube, one in the structure" to avoid potentially-catastrophic punctures.
Meanwhile, the floor is six inches thick and stitched with high-pressure flooring that doubles as an air mattress - ensuring it's both comfortable and capsize-averse.
The tent fabric also has quick detachment cords for emergency exists, if required.
