I am well impressed. This hammock blows me away. Having owned some of the high-profile hammocks that come highly recommended on this forum, both gathered-end and bridge, my initial impression is that the Sparrow is the total package that solves two nagging issues that the others could not: calf ridge and side sleep comfort. I could not believe that there was no calf ridge, having previously accepted the fact that it was just part of the gathered-end experience. I even moved myself closer to the foot end just to see if the calf ridge might be present there. Doing so only produced a tightening of the central material, but nothing that could be considered a "ridge".
Second issue. I am a side sleeper at home, exclusively a side sleeper, and I had given up long ago trying to find a comfortable position on my side in my other hammocks that would allow me to sleep for more than fifteen minutes before waking to turn on my back again. In this Sparrow I found a very comfortable side experience, on both sides, that I can enjoy for as long as I want. That may be due to the extra width of the 72" Hyper D XL.
Thank you Pappa and Mamma Smurf. The quality of your hammock is the best I have seen. Your pride in the product you produce and your traditional American old-world craftsmanship is apparent as soon as you open the box and hold it in your hands. All in all, this hammock is a quantum leap beyond anything I had previously experienced.
It was a long, expensive and enjoyable learning experience, and I will continue to learn, but hammock-wise, I think the journey is over. With the purchase of this Sparrow I have arrived at hammock nirvana. I don't think I'll need to be buying any more hammocks.
