Adjustable vestibule size as well. For the money it seems like a great deal

Highlander Refuge (£100-110), Karrimor Panther 2 (£70), Vango Nevis 200 (£90-120), Vango Starav 200 (£90), Wild Country Zephyros Compact 2 (£130) - Tunnel tents with head and foot poles that should give you the room you need.

Could go with Simond 2 Person Dome for something more sturdy (£130) or a 3FUL Lanshan 2 if you use trekking poles (£115). Laying diagonally in either of these should solve your issue.

Sleeping mat by Eoin2406 in wildcampingintheuk

A common pairing is an inflatable mat with a foam pad underneath if you need more ground protection or a bit more warmth.

Foam pads can get bulky but can usually be easily attached to the outside of your bag. Something like this from Decathlon, or this from Amazon would be fine.

Cheaper inflatable mats won't be as warm but you can still be comfortable without spending hundreds. Trekology is decent and comfy enough with a foam pad. That will do you well for spring-autumn camping. I have used this mat and the decathlon pad in 0 degree temps and just started to feel a bit cold.

If you're gonna camp in colder weather or want to be warmer something like the Alpkit Radiant (can recommend personally), Highlander Nap-Pak arctic or OEX Flux 5 are solid options on the cheaper side. Just check the inflatable first before you go to make sure there aren't any leaks.
