Amok Draumr without a doubt, its way more comfortable than any other hammock I've tried. But.. Its heavy, more fiddle when setting up, really miss a genuine ridgeline inside the bugnet and its a bit more tricky to jump into the sleeping bag. So its not perfect at everything but its pretty close.
We vote for Winners Outfitters Hammock. Not only because it is a double hammock, but also it is the best in the price.
I haven't tried a lot of hammocks, but of the few, the 90 degree is definitely the most comfortable for me. I had an Amok Draumr too. If you like that, you owe it to yourself to beg, borrow or steal a 90 degree and give it a whirl. Admittedly, the Amok is better for durability and creature comforts, but comfortwise, its not as good (as always, IMHO)
Loving my new 11' Dutchware argon 1.6. Having trouble getting my underquilts set properly, though. I think it's a combination of my previous setup for 10' hammock, where I'm lying in the hammock, and overall different sag and length of the hammock. I'm trying a 10.5 as well, hoping to split the difference and get it dialed in just right.
Dutch Half-Wit Hexon 1.6 SL - very comfortable, the half-bug net takes a bit to get used to but I love it as an option now--this is my backyard hammockOriginally Posted by Peppy
WB RidgeRunner 1.7 DL - comfortable, put a therm-a-rest insulated ground pad between layers, works just perfect without UQ--this is my inside the house hammock
DH 2.x Multicam SL with overcover -- works great, not quite as comfy, but not uncomfortable by any means--this is my car hammock that I always have for use when visiting people
SLD Trail Lair Hexon 1.6 SL - very comfortable, as comfortable as my half-wit but with a full bugnet, use this for hiking near really buggy areas so I can relax in peace.
WB BB 1.7 SL - very comfortable, love the shelf, this is my back up hammock for my kids when they come, I have used it some, too
I have a few others but those are the main hammocks I have and use. If I had to reduce down to just one hammock? Hmmmm....I suppose I would choose a GE single layer Hex 1.6 with a full bug net that zips into a pocket at the end--so it never gets lost. I love the simplicity of this style hammock and it has the right amount of give for me.

So, that would be your SLD Trail Lair Hexon 1.6 SL...?!
For me it’s a close call between my WBBB XLC 1.7 SL and my SLD Trail Lair Hexon 1.6 SL...the WBBB XLC is just so awesomely cool, but, somehow, my simple Trail Lair is the one that has found its way into my pack my last three trips in a row! That Trail Lair is one comfy hammock!
Yep, you are right--if I had to reduce to one of my hammock--just one, it would be the SLD Trail Lair. It is true to the name...simple, light, and well designed.
I can get comfortable in any of my hammocks at the end of a day of hiking. All things being equal though, my Warbonnet Ridgerunner is easily my most comfortable.
Ever eat a pine tree? Me neither...
I've had a DH Darien, 2nd gen WBBB XLC SL and a SLD Trail Lair. The Trail Lair is the only one in my arsenal now as I found it to be the most comfortable to me.

This is where I am too......I haven't had time to fully evaluate the TL....I sleep in the XLC every night.
