    I have 2 actually one for my head and the other I have tried to use under my legs/knees

    Not trying to pit 2 members against one another but do you agree that the foot box causes calf ridge?

    [QUOTE=rweb82;2034336]In my experience, hammocks made with the triple-panel construction always feel like a cacoon. On top of that, 118" is too short for overnight sleeping for most folks. I'd recommend getting a hammock that is made from one piece of fabric- 11' long and at least 58" wide. I can side-sleep in both of my Dream Hammocks with no issues. All of the cottage vendors construct their hammocks out of a single piece of fabric for the body.

    I actually read on here that an expensive hammock isn’t as expensive vs buying a bunch of different ones then finally buying a good one. Not saying money isn’t a problem but I’m not afraid to invest into a good camping hammock that will last me a while as long as it’s very comfortable. But there are so many dang options...

    Does anyone know if there is a 360* bug net on the market for a 12’ hammock. I’m leaning towards the 12’ from Dutch. Don’t really care to become a seamstress to make my own. If I cannot find a source for one that may sway my decision.

    You may be able to use one designed for an 11’ hammock. I have a 126” one that came with my 11 footer and it more than easily fits. A 12 footer with 83% sag is 119.5” so 126 would work quite well I think.

    Dutch will make a summer sock to fit the 12’ netless. And simply light designs will make a nice fronkey for a 12’ hammock.

    I have the SLD one in 12’ , and the larger opening available on one end makes it a lot easier to wrangle over an underquilt. Definitely would recommend.

    Pulled the trigger on the Dutch 12’ does anyone know If that will come with the ends already gathered and ready to hang? I chose the 8” loop options for suspension.
