5’9” 165# here but I LOVE an 11 footer. I like lots of flop so that I can use it to hold an arm when hanging in the regular manner or my head and neck when lying/very flat sitting sideways. For the diagonal lay, I don’t really need 68” width, but I like it for the other reasons mentioned - just much more comfortable and flexible for me. The longer and wider the better from my perspective.
Agreed. I finally ended up with a WB Eldorado. 11' plus a foot box should be pretty great.
5'11" 310lbs and I use an ultra cheap 8ft hammock with bug net. It's comfortable enough for me. I was gifted an 11ft 2Ts hammock I haven't tried out yet to see if there's any kind of noticable difference between the two of them.
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
5'10", 145 lb. here and 11' is great.
Thanks Gunny!
I'm 5'10 and I noticed that anything under 11 ft I end up tucking my chin too far to my chest when I sleep and I actually end up waking myself up snoring, lol. There's really no significant weight savings to going to a shorter hammock, just more comfort by having a longer hammock IMHO

I'd prefer comfort to weight also. I'll shave the 2-4 ounces somewhere else for a better night's sleep!

I always like going SOBO; somehow, it feels like going downhill.
...and as it harm none, do what ye will.
