I think what hutzelbein is trying to explain is the biased lay of the Wooki. The carrier fabric on the Wooki is the full width of the hammock, even though the warming area is a narrower area on a diagonal inside.
A regular rectangular quilt will tend to slip under the head and feet if it is a "normal" width (~44-50") and doesn't have any additional doohickies to keep it pinned at the sides.
I have noticed with both clew and spandex suspensions that wide is definitely better. 60" wide costco quilts would be nutsy on a regular suspension. But with clew or spandex, it becomes quite nice.
I'm one of those people that thrash a lot, so the Wooki actually wouldn't work well for me. I need something with more coverage, so a crazy 60" rectangular quilt actually serves me better.
