The wider hammocks tend to be more comfortable but they are heavier I make my DIY hammocks 90 inches wide because I sleep in them every night. But for camping I prefer between 60 and 72 inches wide...

I gave up the bed for a hammock and I never regret it in the least

The trick would be having Someone that knows how to weave them

I bet it could b easily done with a thinner higher strength thread something along the lines of spider wire fishingline

Its mostly the width that makes the diffrence my favorite Mayan hammock is 14 feet long but it fits in a gap anywhere from 11 to 17 feet. the the way it is woven the bed of it will stretch out 10.5...
