I made a double layer 1.1oz. one, and have bounced around in it with my (ex)gf, with no failures. Combined weight was 320#, and we were kneeing and elbowing the fabric. I think you'd be safe with whatever weight you go with.

I have now field tested my 1.1oz DIY 2 weekends in a row. I will be hanging again next weekend.
1 - I am 125lbs(ish) and have no issues with 1.1oz holding me.
2 - I roll around like crazy at home in bed ..... but in my hammock ..... wake up 100% of the time in the exact same position I went to sleep in.
3 - If weight isn't an issue and you feel more comfortable using 1.7 or 1.9oz .... go for it. It is easier to have a good night sleep if you aren't worried about hitting the ground some time during the night.
4 - Reconcider some type of underpad. Without mine, I get the cold spots and have a little trouble sleeping. With it (if I can get it to stay put) I sleep like a baby.
I do not wish to be disturbed - but I can't help it!
i have a WBBB Dbl 1.7 and i weiht 310 pounds. the only thing i worry about is breaking wind getting in and out of it... you wont rip the stuff. leave the stillettos outside and you'll be fine..
For going light and compact in moderate conditions (night lows 50*F or warmer) I've used a torso length self inflating pad. I'm short at 64". The 36" torso length pad keeps my upper body warm. ~8oz and 4x10" packed. Add a chunk of ccf for the legs and feet for ~1oz. Prefer under quilt over pad. Now that it's getting cooler the pad will stay home. Many like the WB Yeti 3/4 uq. If you have a few more $s budgeted and the couple extra ounces are not an issue you may like it better than a pad for comfort and temp. range of use.
