Then I had a thought. What an underquilt basically is is a fluffy hammock so I set about making just that.
My starting point was a 6ft by 4ft fleece blanket that I picked up in Aldi for about £5 ($7?)
It only needs to support its own weight so only basic whipped ends are needed, with 24" bungee loops also inside the whipping to make it the same length as my hammock.
Attach the bungee loops to the same carabiners as the hammock and job done. Less than 30 minutes work and I'm relaxing in it right now. It's changed my hammock from being slightly chilly to pleasantly warm.
