O.K, I'm gonna be that guy nobody likes now and go a bit OT, but there's no such thing as completely flat lay in a hammock. It all comes down to what you perceive as flat. It won't be as flat as a...

Made me smile :) thanks for sharing!

I love them, plain and simple! Great quality for a good price, awesome customer service too. Regarding custom, I know that it's possible, but haven't got any quotes on prices etc. Send them an email,...

Yeah, I had that problem in the beginning too. Felt as if everything was still swaying a couple days after I got out of the hammock, had trouble walking and everything. I just started to babystep...

Tenth Wonder Hammocks, that might be your best/cheapest shot. They have an ebay page, but IIRC it was a few bucks cheaper from their own homepage.

Yeah, I know... But I've been using it for almost a year now with absolutely no signs of wear, compression etc. I'm a small guy, 140-150 pounds or thereabout, so I still feel pretty safe.

I'm mixed 50/50 swedish/finnish, living in Sweden, and my "real world" nickname is Mix (derived from Michael). So, two meanings, simple as that :)

Forgot to ask O.P (and of course you other guys), did you keep the standard 30 degree hang angle or did you go less/more?

I don't completely agree with that. I found that the ridgeline was actually really important, maybe not needed, but just a few cm's change in RL length made a world of difference in how flat i laid -...

Hi, I'm Mix. And, uhhm, I guess I am an addict too..
