I've been looking at some different top quilt options lately trying to decide which one if any is right for me. It looks like many of the quilts have a built in foot box. What I'm wondering is...why? I hate to deny anyone the pleasure of saying it but please spare me the "to put your feet in" jokes LOL. assuming there isn't something I'm overlooking being new to hammocks, I would probably buy a nice thick rectangle down camping quilt from one of the cottage outfits and loosely tuck it under my feet and around my sides like I would in bed or on the couch. This top quilt seems like it would be a lot more useable either around the house here and there or pretty much anywhere outside the hammock and may even be more comfortable or versatile IN the hammock. I would imagine it would allow for a lot more free movement, be the easiest to get in and out of and allow you to adjust for changing temperatures more easily. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with this? I'm wondering if the only purpose of the foot box design is to minimize the weight or bulk of the topquilt??
Thanks guys
