Sooz, we're stealing the thread, but I'll still answer this one. The dampness which will collect in your bed clothes and in your bed will not "circulate" to cause condensation which is the "circulation" and contact with "Cold" objects. You can get condensation on your tent roof just the same as under the mattress when the warm moist air "circulates" in contact with a cold tent surface and then condensates and drips from the material. Again, if you break the contact between the cold and warm moist with an insulating layer ie. bubble wrap or space blanket type of insulation, the condensation doesn't have a chance to form and either absorbe into your bed or drip from your tenting.
 I asked about condensation last year thru a thread on UKCS. and got mostly negative replies. I can get a space blanket to fit most needs, either under the bed or on the tenting, whichever, to end the troubles with condensation. I only need to know if people would want it so I can order enough to make it worth all our wiles. The material is expensive in small batches, and pre cut fit material for beds and tents a little more expensive, but if I order enough in various sizes (limiting the different sizes to a maximum of 3 for tents and 4 for beds, I could get them relitivly cheap (We're talking about 40Pounds for the tent and 15 or so for each bed. (These are park prices, real general estimates on the costs, without postage etc.)
This is the same type of material I use on my camper, and I've camped in 0°C weather with 4 people in my camper and NO Condensation on the bed, roof or tenting.
Rain today, maybe no snow next week, 3 weeks to go until Easter, my plans for camping are starting to look good!!.
