I'm 6'4" at 220lbs and am comfy relaxing and napping in a GT ultralight. At only $20 it's hard to beat the price. Haven't done much else with it though.

Meaning of the EOD Badge
Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) is a science of vague assumptions based on debatable figures derived from inconclusive experiments, performed by persons of doubtful mental capability with instruments of problematic accuracy.
I also think the Northwoods Wolf Hammock looks like a winner. If I were making a strong, cheap, comfortable hammock I'd choose the same materials.
The tablecloth hammock is also very comfortable. I made one with a mini spreader bar, and it's great. I will probably use the same design with some 1.9 ripstop someday.
i got mine off ebay and ive had great luck with it so far

I moved up to the GT Double and then got a Single and both are infinitely more comfortable than the UL. The UL will stay in my car, with its stock suspension, as a spur of the moment nap kit. I don't mind a quick nap in it, but overnight was never comfortable. I slept in it five or six nights before admitting that to myself.

Oldragfreeze, could you please share more about the Grand Trunk UL? I'm not questioning your experience at all, I'd just like to know what exactly it was that made it uncomfortable for you?

Everyone is different, but I liked my GT UL and slept in it several times. I have since given it to my grandson. I did not like how the TQ was hard to keep inside of it. It is a narrow hammock and some folks find it hard to get a diagonal lay because of that.
I would suggest you try the tablecloth hammock as mentioned above, you can't go wrong with it. Also, you have many colors to choose from.
