suspended bedding system...??

if so do have you got any tips for anyone interested in making such a system

what did you use for the part to lay your sleeping bag or other chosen sleep system

was it a pre-made canvas or a thick plastic-bag or branches and-such or other material...??
 
I’ve used 2x tripods with a bar across the top to turn a large tarp into a windshelter (as you would in the Scouts). Spruce boughs makes for a nice base, but I’d rather not cut branches off if I didn’t have to.

What kind of shelter did you have in mind? Wind shelter, raised bed, hammock stand?
 
As in @van wilds picture. You could use a poncho popped together. Econo challenge (youtube) shows this as a simple tube that can be made by a sail maker or yourself if you have the skills. I don't think sticks would work too well, never seen it done.
A frame pole bed is my preference. The space between the tube can be stuffed with browse or similar for insulation
Very comfortable!
