    Hello from Central/SE NC!

    Hello!
    I just bought a hammock because my mattress is old and crappy and all the ones I like are way too expensive. I bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004YJCP7O but I dislike it already. The fabric is a thick canvas and I'm small (5"2, 110 lbs) so I can feel every fold. It's like sleeping on...I don't know. Something that's supposed to be outdoors. Which I guess it generally is .

    Welcome aboard! I'd suggest trying the Grand Trunk UL instead since the material should be much softer and far more comfortable to lay on.

    Welcome to the forums from Indiana! Hammocks are supposed to be comfy - try your hand at making one yourself and you'll be surprised at the difference. I've got 623 straight nights sleeping in a hammock. Got rid of the bed and don't plan on going back.
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

    Hello from Central/SE NC!

    Welcome from Florida. Perhaps you can make it to a group hang in your area. Folks here enjoy letting you try different hammocks.
