If the tent's big enough, cots are nice. You have the added benefit of being able to store a large volume of things (for me in tubs) under the cot. Then, you have more room in the tent. I put one of those mattress thingies on top of the cot. It's like sleeping in a narrow bed. I have lightwieght goose down bags for backacking where it's cold, but for Hummer camping, I actually prefer the cotton/flannel bags. A decent one is just as warm--it just weighs 15 times as much. They're a lot cheaper too.
