    It may not be for everyone, but for the colder months, I use two hammocks. I read about this from someone on here, but anyway, I have the ENO Double nest not doing much these days so I put it to use. I hung it under the Brazilian with a gossomer gear 1/4" CCF pad in it. The Brazilian stretches a lot when you get in and the ENO wraps around kind of like an underquilt. I'm sure an underquilt is much better, but I used what I had and didn't want to spend the $$$ at this time. This way, you have the insulation of a pad, but don't have to fight with it shifting all over the place.

    Thank you, but I didn't choose it for the colors, it was marked down for sale ! I think I paid $59??? They had two left and I should have bought both. The wife likes it too!

    Brazilian Hammock for Indoors

    I'd like to keep the hennessys for camping and get something that I can leave inside. The only other thing I may use them for is extra hammocks when we invite people camping.

    So, any suggestions on a good cheap hammock where comfort is the main concern and weight isnt really a factor?

    Thanks!
    A bit late in responding, but in case it's of any use to anyone - I've been sleeping in a Brazilian hammock for the last 3 or 4 years which is setup in my bedroom. The one I'm using now is similar to these:
    http://www.hayneedle.com/product/lar...withfringe.cfm
    or
    http://www.hayneedle.com/product/xlr...withfringe.cfm

    I use the large/x-large versions (2 person or double) which gives me plenty of space. I used a 1 person Brazilian hammock but my weight was too much for it and I popped the threads. I did have some problems with staying warm during the winter months, and under-quilts do work well, but ultimately I just tossed a down comforter into the hammock and that has worked fine for me with a light blanket on top. Or turn up the heat and close the window.

    One of my dogs and my cat sleep in the hammock with me.
