Many premium camping hammocks are constructed with three panels, a broad central panel and two narrow panels on each side. I assume this was done to cut manufacturing costs or because wider fabric panels were unavailable. My first camping hammock had this construction.
After many nights of trying to adjust to the uncomfortable seam of the two lateral panels, I started looking for a hammock of sufficient width ( for me, 6ft or wider ) made with a single piece of fabric and length (11ft )
When I finally scored such a prize from one of the cottage vendors, I was forever converted to this type of construction.
So, have others had to make this choice, or has the three panel construction worked out just fine for all-night comfort?
