    LOL...the comfy hammocks are brilliant blue and dark olive, the one with the calf ridge is burnt orange.

    Have you tried laying at more of an angle?

    How are your ends gathered? Just Jeff (remember him?) has a page that covers whipping the ends of a DIY hammock. http://www.tothewoods.net/HomemadeHammock2.html
    Experimenting with changing the gathered ends is worth a try.

    Good Luck

    If I elevate my foot end significantly higher than my head end calf ridge is not an issue for me. Im usually in a Dream Hammock 1.6 hyper D. I think fabric choice can cause calf ridge as well if its too stiff or thick. JMHO

    Unless you are a University of Texas fan, burnt orange can be a problem...

    So I flipped the hammock and readjusted the bunching at CL. Big improvement in ridge reduction and now appears to be as comfortable as others. Who would have thunk?

    Fyi OCdave...it is a sewn end not gathered (Dutch netless).
