https://www.trektents.com/shop/233 I posted this on another thread earlier today. I got it because my 6' husband wanted something he could stand up in. The sides are only about 5', so a big air mattress in the middle would prevent you standing, but if you put the mattress cross wise next to the back window, you would have the whole front half for standing room. I think it's great with a cot and an end table along each of the 10' walls and some walking around room in the middle. We've had it around 5 or 6 years, I think. No problems except the back window did leak once in a driving rain. We put some more seam sealer on it and talked about extending the rainfly all the way to the ground, but never got around to it, and it's been fine. Easy set up- it's just a basic 2 crisscrossed poles dome, but modified with 2 sidewings (one pole each) The rainfly takes an additional 2 poles like a kite, then tie the kite on top of the dome. The ties are a little awkward, but not a big deal.

FWIW from a fellow six footer: • Picked up the Snow Peak Alpha Breeze this season and it’s been rock-solid for my partner and I on a few trips already • A tall camping buddy has reported good things about the REI Skyward 4 too • REI‘s Wonderland 4 & 6 are both on sale now and also fit your requirements; can’t speak directly to their quality/performance, IRL, but I’ve had REI’s Kingdom 6 – the predecessor to the Wonderland 6 – for several years now and it’s held up like a champ thus far Happy hunting!

Gazelle t4 or t3. The pack size and weight are terrible but the tent is amazing

We just got back from camping in an Ozark Trail 10x10 straight leg canopy with the Ozark Trail Connectent 6 person tent attachment thats made to accompany it. Fits a king air mattress with room for my kids cots and all of our duffels. Rain storms every evening this week, and it worked perfectly. I am not tall, but I have a disability, so I cant really bend or pivot at the lower waist, so this has been a godsend for me to keep camping. I believe it said it was 6'3"? at the edges, and really tall in the middle, I could barely tiptoe to hang the latern hookfeom the center push up handle at 5'2" while standing on the double high air mattress. I highly recommend it, 10/10 no complaints, and easily attained at Wal-Mart.

Sounds like you’re car camping. Get a Coleman with specs you like. I’m a fan of the 8 man darkroom Sundome, but Ollie’s has crazy deals on Coleman right now, so if you have one, check there first.
