suggestions from BMBH pad users pls

[Tendertoe]

I see, I kind of figured that would happen in a traditional style hammock, but did not realize that would be as big of issue in a bridge style, but makes sense.

Tendertoe, I am guessing that 25in thermarest pad you have spreads the hammock out nicely as well?

thanks.

I feel that it appears to spread the hammock out before you lay in it.

Once you lay in the hammock, however, I don't really notice that much of a difference between having the pad in there and not; comfy with a pad or without

YMMV

I notice quite a difference with my 25" wide, 2.5" thick NeoAir. It spreads out the sides so much that my shoulders barely graze the sides. It is very comfy.

I just built my Dad a bridge hammock that was double layered so he could put his pads between the two layers. I have a old thermarest air pad and a wool blanket that keeps me toasty around the 30 degrees. I also know the Ber has made his bridges double layered to accommodate pads.

I hemmed the head and foot end separately for easy adjustments to the pads.
