Comfy inside hammock

[mrmike65]

You just gave me an excellent idea to work on as well. The use of a fleece or flannel fabric may be good but I think there's the weight issues to work on. Tafetta is a good option though.

Yeah, I wouldn't use flannel or fleece in a hammock I was packing into the woods, but the OP was talking about an indoor hammock.
Good luck with your idea. Be sure to come back and share it with us all.

I have a ENO DN I recently hung in my bedroom as well. For now, I'm using my HG Incubator 20 as an UQ and a nice fleece from Bed Bath and Beyond as a TQ. It's very cozy. I'm thinking of getting another fleece as a UQ though. For indoor use, the hammock needs to be structurally sound, but you can get pretty creative with UQ and TQ for winter. When summer rolls around, I doubt I'll use anything at all.

you could use binder clips to hold the softer material to the DN too in areas well away from where your body is.

Simply make a double layer hammock with the outside layer being ripstop nylon/polyester and the inside being your fabric of choice.

As the OP said "without Underquilt" and "indoors" so simple solution as some said here use the taffeta you ordered with fleece/flannel linung the inside. See along the sides to keep from shifting.

I use a fleece UQ under my tablecloth full time hammock. Good to 68 or so. I use my JrB nest now for cooler temps.

The Brazilians basically all sleep in hammocks every night they call them hedgies (sp?). The church I attend sends folks to Brazil throughout the year, almost everyone of them come back with a Brazilian style hedgie. They are what appears to be a cotton type fabric, the ones I've tried were very stretchy and in my opinion very comfortable. If I were an every night indoor hanger, that's what I sleep in.

As a full-timer, I agree with Bannerstone about cotton hammocks for indoors (gotta love the "hedgie"!), where weight & weather aren't issues. I don't care for the feel & static of poly if I'm not going to pack with it. Maybe look at an all-cotton tablecloth at tableclothsfactory.com for a super easy, no-sew, single-layer house hammock. It should be plenty strong enough, given its weight. I've just ordered one, thinking its smooth dense finish will feel nicer than the coarser fabric of my worn-out "real" Brazilian. A simple fleece UQ and a top cover should suffice even in a cold(ish) house, and fine in summer without the fleece.

I am thinking I will do this and just run a light full length UQ and use a blanket for the top. I just need to decide what size to make the hammock. Table cloths are relativily cheap so I may try a few out and see which one I like.

Sounds like a good plan. The tablecloth is inexpensive when compared to buying 3-1/2 or 4 yards of wide fabric, and all the edges are already hemmed so it's a quick & easy project. If you do decide on a cotton one it's more expensive than the taffeta, but all their tablecloths go on sale very often at 20% off. I hope you'll be happy with your new set-up!
