My husband and I are trying to use our hammocks indoors. We're having trouble finding a good hang height/distance and we're not sure what we are doing wrong. Any useful suggestions would be appreciated!
We have an ENO double nest and a mayan. We used the ultimate hang calculator, double checked our measurements and hung the hammocks. But, they hung almost straight, with very little sag. We have since adjusted them as low as we can without sleeping on the floor, but they are not comfortable at all. The center ridge of the hammocks are tighter and finding a comfortable position is difficult, if we even can. We've been adjusting them for about a week, and in that time I only made it a full night in the hammock, and even then I was waking up every few hours to find a comfortable position. There are so many pressure points and the hammock is so rigid it's nothing like I read sleeping in a hammock would be like.
We don't want to have to drill more holes in the walls, but I don't know if we need a higher hang or if we need to go farther with the hang points.
They are hung 6 ft high - 12 ft apart. That's what was the hang calculator said would be right for the ENO double nest. I had been using an ENO single nest, but needed a larger hammock and got a Mayan. The website said it should be hung 6ft high and 12 ft apart (it is 14 ft long) but its only slightly more comfortable than the ENO.
I've read on here that some people have mayans hung only 10ft apart - I'm wondering how to calculate if mine needs to be higher or longer in attachment points.
I have pictures of how both are currently hung. Is the sag enough? It looks like other pictures I've seen of correctly hung hammocks, but maybe not.
