That being said, my first hammock was an ENO DN, is was pretty happy with it, but felt I needed something a tad larger for my size at 6' 2". So after some reading and research, I ordered a WL Lite Owl, and received it promptly. But, for the life of me, I cannot get as comfortable in the LO as I can in the ENO. After much thought, I think it comes down to the fact that for an asymmetric lay I've gained length but given up almost a foot and a half of width (74" in the ENO, vs 58" in the LO). I've played with head and foot height differences, hanging tighter, looser, adjusting the head and foot boxes, etc. The two big issues I'm having are;
1. I feel like the sides are close enough to me that they eventually push me more straight in my sleep, rather than having a good, flat diagonal lay all night.
2. No matter what I do, I feel like I don't have enough room for my legs without them being smushed together, or crossing them, and I always wake up in the wee hours with bad ankle / foot pain.
Anything I can try before selling it off? Maybe an inflatable pad in the pocket? I really like how well made it is, how small it packs down, and the fact it's made right here in NC and would love nothing more than to get it to work for me.
