    A hammock stand for a smaller footprint? Could you elaborate? I'm very green when it comes to hammocks, just starting my research.

    The hammeck stand has 2 legs on each side like a swingset where the ridgepole is integral to the structural support of the stand, the tripod stands, TATO gear and turtledog/turtle lady stands have an extra leg on each end and requires an extra 2 or 3 feet of floor space end to end. Hammeck is suspending their business so you should act soon if that's your choice.

    What about a blackbird XLC? Then you can remove the bug netting and the longer hammock has a really nice lay. Though a lot of your choice will come to personal preference.

    I would never limit myself to just one hammock. Much as I love my WBBB, for hanging at home I prefer a no-net hammock made from much heavier fabric. Definitely look into Brazilian / Mayan / Nicaraguan / ... hammocks. If you go with a traditional hammock, go as long and wide as possible. I think my Brazilian hammock is 14', and there are longer ones. However, a simple no-net camping hammock can work just as well. At the moment I use a hammock made from heavy nylon ripstop because I prefer less stretch. But that's personal. The nice thing is that even high quality hammocks are still a lot cheaper than high quality mattresses.

    I use a tablecloth hammock at home - best $12 I ever spent. I don't like hammocks with integrated bugnets when hiking, but I definitely wouldn't want one at home.

    +1 I was wondering how long I would have to read until this suggestion. Seems like a great solution for indoor and out, especially consider the op was interested in a wbbb.

    I would use multiple hammocks, even though we keep our hammock well, the gear you use outdoor potentially carry stuff you may not like to introduce to your bedroom ---of course it is less concern when you setup in basement. or garage

    I agree, the Warbonnet Blackbird XLC would fit the bill very nicely. Zip off the bugnet when home, zip on the bugnet when camping. Case closed.

    I'd go with multiple hammocks if it fits the budget. I love my dutch 11' 1.6 Hexon netless hammock for my indoor hang spot in the basement. It stays up most of the time and is great for TV watching and lounging. For the trail (and bug season), I swear by my Simply Light Designs Trail Lair with built in net. That's my go-to hammock for backpacking during mosquito season.
