Most comfortable hammock for full time hanging indoors?

[Solidsmud]

Hi everyone, new guy here. I'm a 5'11" veteran with back pain. I've been sleeping in a hammock indoors for 3 months now and it helps.

My setup ATM, I've got eye bolts in the wall studs and a "Chillax" double hammock I bought from Costco years ago. Adjustable Amsteel ridgeline, homemade underquilt.

It serves me okay, but I'd like to hear what you folks think the most comfortable hammock is.
I don't do a lot of camping so the weight isn't an issue, and bugnets and other accessories aren't necessary.

I've had my eye on the Chameleon. I've heard it's comfy and I do like its versatility with all the accessories made for it I could purchase down the road. I'm also tempted to try a bridge style hammock like Warbonnet Ridgerunner, but I worry that may be too close to a bed and my back pain could get worse. All input welcome.

It will depend on the fabric feel that you like (soft or slippery). Consider getting a Brazilian style hammock. I've had a Vivere from Amazon for the last 5 years and it has held up excellent. Great for sore, tired backs.

Edit: i'm assuming you mean for indoors. Otherwise, please clarify.

I hadn't considered a Brazilian hammock, thank you. I haven't tried one yet so I would be concerned with how it felt, hopefully I can find a floor model to try first.

I don't think you'll be finding a floor model to try first. I've certainly never heard of any place that has hammocks set up for you to try. For that matter, I've never even seen a tent floor model. You'll probably have to purchase what you want to try, and return it if you don't like it.

I think the Vivere's on amazon are <$50 nowadays. Its not a bad price for a trial run. I think the Brazilians are more confortable than camping hammocks for indoors. They are typically 13-14ft long and solid cotton.

I love my big cotton Brazilian hammock. It’s got a great flat lay, the fabric is warmer when it’s cool, but breathes well.

Hello fellow full time hanger. My current fave is the LA siesta flora. It's a beast of a 13' cotton Brazilian. I LOVE it. ( I am a 6'2" paramedic who USE to have lower back problems.) here's is my setup. Honestly anything by LA siesta is worth its weight.

BambulanceMan That model may be a bit much for my space, and my wallet, but if I were to order from them, I'm having trouble discerning the difference in the Currambera, Paloma, and Brisa. Do you have any info there?

I'd say go for a dedicated indoor hammock. A Chameleon would be overkill. Making a netless gathered-end hammock from some material that you like the feel of would be sooooo cheap! The Chameleon (or something from WB or DH) would be a terrific outdoor hammock. The indoor one doesn't need to be made from a fabric intended for outdoor use.

I hear ya, it's a wee bit expensive but worth it.

The brisa is weather resistant and not as comfortable as a sleeper, so skip that one. The Paloma is the classic double in cotton. Good choice. It is a half cotton half polyester bed same as the currambera. The diffrence between those two is the fabric density. The currambera is denser, like a higher thread count in sheets. The one I actually reccomend is the Carolina. Highest fabric density of the three and worth the extra price. It actually has a higher density than mine but it is still a 50 percent polyester cotton blend. The flora, (my king-size hammock is 100% cotton. So there ya go!
