Specs say that the interior height is 50cm .., so how comfy is the fit with an (air or down) mattress and sleeping bag for an average sized person .. Has anyone tried this with that combo ?? ..

I'm large (6'3", 214#) and used this with a MtnHdwr Switch in the mountains; very comfortable on the ground or with a mattress. I found it comfortable, didn't need the mosquito mesh that time, but I got this bivy to meet any situation. It has a loop on the top to tie it up to something if you want it "pitched" off your bag (tie it loosely). I was surprised with the room I had, more than I expected.
