Hammock width

[Spickus]

What are the disadvantages of a hammock that's too wide? I see old comments in this forum "I'm glad I didn't go any wider".

If the hammock is too wide for your height, the fabric can become very floppy on the sides- which is frustrating for some folks. It's an even larger issue if you are using a hammock with an integrated bug net. If the hammock is too wide for your body to keep the sides taut, then the bug net won't have enough tension on it, and will fall in on your face.

But tie-outs can alleviate the floppy sides and I like a wider hammock for sitting sideways comfortably. And Knotty Mods are also helpful at minimizing floppy sides.

That makes sense, thanks.

if it's too wide, it can be difficult to get out. you end up way at the bottom of a deep bathtub

Extra width weighs more.

You can always buy the miniature travel ones...unless when you saw it off you also cut it and file it to a point to create a blade!
