    Wide accordion closed cell foam

    Hi everyone,

    I'm looking for some advice. I have a warbonnet hammock and am looking to get a accordion style closed cell foam padding for it. I happen to move a lot in my sleep, so want one thats wider, probably around 30 inches. I've been looked around the internet and most are around 20-22 inches. Anyone have a recommendation?

    All I know to do is buy the gossamergear.com wide, 1/4" CCF pad (40" wide). Trim to desired dimensions. Finally, score the pad on alternating sides to get the accordion fold. Tape the smooth side opposite the score for durability.

    Once upon a time, I had a z-rest pad that I put grommets on the sides of and then tied strips of reflectix to it to make it wider. You could even get two accordion-style pads and connect them in this manner.
    Good luck,
