Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Take a look at the tents offered from Recreation Equipment in Seattle, Washington. They outfit expeditions to places like Everest and K2.
Sure, you won't like to buy from them, half a world away, but you will gain some names for sizes and shapes.
If I needed a fairly big tent to give us all some elbow room, Big Agnes would be #1.

Are you familiar with the HEWOLF brand? Are they any good? Was looking at one of their sleeping mats from aliexpress but I have not come across them before so didn't pull the trigger on the purchase.
Not used one myself, way too big and heavy. It does seem to get some good reviews though.
I've no experience of this tent, but from the images it looks like its a single skin tent, so in humid/wet/cold conditions the condensation inside could be rather brutal. Its also quite short in length (2m), so unless there is only one of you sleeping in it (diagonally), or you are not particularly tall, then you could well find the curvature of the fabric means your feet are constantly bulging the wall out/soaking up condensation + the fabric is uncomfortably close to your face.
These American style tents with the 1/2 or 1/3 flysheets are utterly useless for the UK, you may as well just throw all your stuff in the bath and turn the taps on and save yourself the time and hassle of going on the trip.
