    I am 6ft 2 and 275+ lbs and I have a ENO DB that I have slept in. I found it wide enough but too short to very comfortable. There days the ENO only goes with me on day hikes so if I feel the urge to stop and take a break I have a hammock that I can set up and take down fast.
    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !

    Hammock comfort is most affected by length. Width has a lesser affect. Footbox like Warbonnet, makes it effectively longer (at the price of some versatility).

    I started with ENO DN and then the jungle nest hammock. I was never really comfortable. I am 6'1" and 230lbs. I bought a WBBB XLC and loved it. I decided to try an 11ft Dutchware offering because I needed a back up for my friends. I think the Dutch hammocks are just as, if not a bit better, then the BB XLC. Add a bug net and you have a great hammock, which is super comfortable, for under 90 dollars.

    Thanks everyone for all the advice.

    I ended up ordering a 12 foot Trail Lair from Simply Light Designs.
