So hopefully the title of this post got your attention because I have an unusual question for you. I'm graduating college and my Grandma wants to buy me "bedding or furniture" of some kind, neither of which I need, but those are the terms. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend down quilts/comforters that can be re-purposed with a few modifications as top quilts or underquilts. This could maybe come from an outdoorsy online retailer, or a mainstream retailer, but probably not from a hammock-specific cottage gear maker because then my ruse will be revealed, and my TQ/UQ dreams will be left hanging, in the worst sense of the phrase.
Potential down quilt(s) would need to fit these criteria: Able to stand up to outdoor use, packable, and flat quilt style, as opposed to foot box or tapered style.
I suspect some folks will recommend that I just come out of the hammock closet and try not to be dishonest, but I'm fairly certain the mental image of me lollygagging about in a hammock was not part of Grandma's vision of my newly credentialed, industrious future...
Thanks for the input!
