I saw that Dutchware Gear is starting to offer underquilts that zip onto Chameleon hammocks. This reminded me of my experience with a Costco-style homemade underquilt permanently attached to a hammock. It seemed like a good idea at the time - we sewed the edges of the quilt to the edges of the of the hammock. The problem was that the weight of the underquilt was enough to pull the hammock edges downward, resulting in a pretty decent gap between the hammock and underquilt. I considered adding some sort of shock cord to the sides of the hammock and running it over the ridgeline to pull the underquilt back upwards, but at that point, any benefits to just using a standard underquilt suspension seemed to have disappeared.

I'm interested to see how well Dutch's offering works. It may be that as long as the bugnet or top cover is zipped on, it will provide sufficient support. Anyone else have any experience with quilts attached to hammocks? Am I just doing it wrong?
