What full length UQ do you use with a bottom entry HH? Can you use any UQ? I no JRB makes one called the nest but I was just wondering about some of you other HH users.

Arrowhead Equipment's Kickass Quilts has the Potomac quilt for the Hennessy Hammocks.

I own both their TQs and UQs and have been very satisfied.
I have both a kick-***-quilt (DIY version) and a hammock gear incubator. Both are easy to install and use. Push UQ to one side. Get in hammock, pull legs in. Reach through entry hole and make sure quilt has slipped into place. Lie back, grab UQ side cords through the HH sides and pull up, to make sure UQ is against your back. Sleep in comfy warmness.
I've used the HH undercover/underpad plus el-cheapo space blanket for about 300 nights of hanging. It has served me well (down to 18 degrees once!).
I recently bought the Arrowhead Potomac underquilt and, after using it for one night, I'd damaged it. I apparently cinched it up too tight (and was too violent when pushing it aside when getting out of the hammock). I tore the fabric and ripped out one of the corner loops. Am sending it back to Arrowhead for repair.
In conversations with the Jacks, they've said that most UQs can be used with a Hennessy. They tend to snap back into position. Just make sure your bungees provide enough stretch (as you've learned).
