We went camping this weekend and I, of course, hung in my hammock. For the 2nd time in a row I actually had a difficult, not very comfortable night in my hammock. I think what may be happening is that my new underquilt is hung too tightly. I'm having a lot of trouble getting a diagonal sleeping position. Also, when I clip in the underquilt it's pulled up much higher than the hammock itself. I really think the problem is that the underquilt is pushing me inline with the ridge line and that's where the uncomfortable lay is coming from.
Is there a rule of thumb for how much sag an underquilt should have in relation to the hammock? I want to be able to lay diagonally but not have the underquilt loose underneath me. I'm having trouble finding that happy medium.
Also, when laying diagonally should the underquilt shock cord suspension pass over your feet?
