As far as I know (from everything I've read here), the Peapod requires an inline lay, and doesn't work well for big hammocks. I have thought about using several layers of blankets *inside* the hammock to lie on, and keeping them in place with shock cords, similar to the underquilt. Haven't gotten around to try it out, though. At the moment I would be happy if I could put up a hammock at all in my flat...
