    You can (and I have) freshened my hammock just by airing out in the sun and breeze.

    If the turnaround time is three days the that is a basic need reason to have two or three hammocks. Problem solved.
    I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

    I sleep year round indoors in a single layer hammock with fleece TQ that has a knee deep foot box, and an UQ. I tend to sleep cold, but want my UQ to be able to flip to the side of the hammock easily for when I am too hot. I found that laying on sheets, blankets, etc. doesn't work for me; but I do enjoy bunching up a soft small blanket under my knees. I use a UQ of some type year round. I wash the hammock in the washing machine, gentle cycle for a brief time, then air dry it over a line. It dries very quickly -- except the gathered ends, but I don't touch that part while sleeping, so I don't worry if it isn't quite dry by bed time. I find it is deeply satisfying to arrange my "nest" before sleeping, even if friends who observe this ritual chuckle at me! When I have to answer nature's call in the middle of the night, extracting all my limbs from the nesting materials can be challenging if I am not fully awake! All well worth the wonderfully deep sleep each night, however.

    I have an army sleeping pad (1/2" hard foam) that I'm going to put between the layers (bought a DL Traveler) and I have a 40 degree Coleman sleeping bag I picked up at the PX for a TQ.

    I've got the sheets that I currently use on the bed as well as a thin velour blanket I can use either over/under me as needed - just wanted to know what everyone else used (or didn't use).
