Comparative stretch of a tablecloth hammock

[SwitchbackCat]

I have a 10 foot tablecloth hammock and sleep great in it. I'm 6 foot 185. For those of you with tablecloth experience, what type and weight material would you compare it to?

It's firmer than any other hammock I have. It's like a 2.5 ripstop weight I think. Maybe more.

I thought it was 2.3 polyester.

I thought it was 2.3 polyester.

It may be IDK. I do know it's a good bit firmer and heavier than the 1.7 ripstop that my Dream Hammock is made of.

I made 2 bridge hammocks from the crinkle polyester taffeta tablecloths. If I recall correctly the fabric is about 2.6 oz per square yard. It certainly has little to no stretch and 1 layer is more than enough to hold up my girth.

Thanks everyone. That explains some things.
