    Going full time indoors, Q: 13' space, are 11' Brazilian singles good enough?

    I'm bringing my pipestand indoors, putting the T legs against the walls (out of the way) for 13' of length. I think I need a cotton hammock, having spent six hours reading threads about them here.

    The Brazilian doubles are 14'-17' minimum hanging space. Are the widest Brazilian singles at 11' long comfortable enough, or can I raise the height of the pipe stand, currently 6', to use up some of the XL Brazilian's length (nine foot ceiling). I am 5'8", 155#.

    There is a woven cotton Columbian double that is 11'6" x 7', looks like cotton canvas.

    Do I order one of each hammock, expecting to return all but one of them?

    Outside, I'm happy with my BIAS 1.1 oz. fabric, so I won't know what I'm missing if I don't try the cotton and just get the widest WWMicro to use indoors.
    Your thoughts and experiences are welcome.

    7' is huge wide. I find that with the woven cotton hammocks I'm just as happy even if the hammock is a little narrower than my nylon hammocks. My favorites are 13' long and not quite 6' wide. The "bed" portion of these is about 8' long, the rest of the length is in the string suspensions. I have one that is 5' wide, but that's really a little tight. You'll find that the cotton ones sag a little after you lay in them, creating a nice comfortable pocket to sleep in.

    If you can't hang a full-size Brazilian because you're lacking space, you might be better off with a no-net camping hammock instead of a short Brazilian. I own a 14' Brazilian that I can't hang because my bedroom is too small, so I'm using an 11' x 75" DIY ripstop nylon for my every-night hammock. It works very well for me.
