I am pretty new to hammocks. I have a Hennessy Explorer XL that I am trying to get to know. It is asym and I understand the diagonal lay — but getting used to sleeping in a hammock all night comfortably is still evading me. Not giving up though.

My question really has to do with the Chameleon hammock and the difference between choosing an asym bugnet or a symmetrical bugnet (or overcover). It is said that you can lay diagonal either way with the symmetrical bugnet but only one way with the asymmetrical bugnet. Is sleeping head left feet right any different with the two bugnets? I mean, why not just get the symmetrical one?
