Comfort is what the ridge line is all about. That sets the slack.
I assume that you are hanging inside without a ridge line. That is quite reasonable because you are always hanging the with the same distances assuming you are using fixed lengths for your setup. If you want to maintain that comfort level and use the hammock on a hike add a ridge line while the hammock is hanging at home and you should find that as long as you hang with an angle that keeps some tension on that ridge line you will achieve the same comfort level. Be a bit careful as the flatter the anchor lines become the more tension will transfer to the ridge line.
