I've found that I like what my Big Agnes air mattress does in my gathered end hammock except that the ends are pinched......... I've thought a lot about using a longer upper and lower gather strap.... is that the term for the piece of webbing that passes through the pockets at the ends? Then the tree strap would make a double wrap around the tree with each end going to a carabiner at either end of the gather strap. This would reduce the gather force, and allow the mattress to lay more easily inside the hammock...... It would vary from tree to tree.
