A general rule of thumb is your height + 4 feet. So, *technically* a standard 11 foot hammock should feel comfortable. However, if you sew or know of someone who can sew, a simple gathered end hammock at 12 feet might feel even better.

I made my buddy an 11' x 60" hammock. He is 6'8" and it is fine for him.

This hammock is similar to the one I use: https://www.amazon.com/Ridgeline-Dou.../dp/B075Y6N6NG

Claim is it is an 11' hammock with Dyneema suspension. The 210T 70D fabric is similar to the one I use regularly and it is 126" (10.5') and comes with continuous loop gathered ends and 9 foot tree straps. The Dyneema is tied to the nylon tree straps and then tied to form a ladder chain... would be nothing to redo and splice into a UCR or a Whoopee Sling system. If I did not already have many hammocks I would try it out and their guarantee is very good also in case you do not like it.

This is the one I use:https://www.amazon.com/Double-Campin.../dp/B01N2Z2AAV

They are basically the same, however the first one listed comes with nicer tree straps.

I am 6'6" and about 80 lbs heavier than you. I do not know what best means to you. But this is the best I found for me.

At 6'4" 215 lbs I can't sleep comfortably in an 11' long, 58" wide hammock. I have a 12' 58" wide hexon from Dutch which is better, but my most comfortable hammock is a DIY 12' long 70" wide HyperD.

At 6'3" I find my 11' is just barely long enough. I have often wondered if a 12' would suit me better. That said I have also read a lot about people finding different hammock design/build making a big difference, as in the width, shape, fabric stretch and so on, so it may be slightly more complicated and require a little trial and error.

I'm a proponent of 2x your height.
