I'm starting to think that having a better night's rest while sleeping in a tent is not from the ground you sleep on, but the fresh air you've had all night.

My best sleep was on a camping trip when we decided that a tent wasn't necessary and we could just sleep outside watching the night sky.

(This is of course highly location dependent. Now that I think about it, I was probably taking a bit more risk at that time than what I tolerate now.)

It'll depend on the tent, I don't immediately associate tents with good ventilation.
A tent with poor ventilation rapidly becomes soggy.
you want to sleep below a tarp then, not in a tent.
