I'm narrowing down my decisions on my custom hammock. Quite a process with so many options.
Info on me - I am 6'1", 275 lbs and am quite comfortable in my Warbonnet XLC Heavy Double @ 62" width. I'm looking at Dream Hammocks to "explore" possibilities of even MORE comfort and frankly just to expand my fleet. I hate my ENO hammock fabric because it's so stretchy. I sink so far down that I find it very difficult to get out of the hammock. If there's anything I'd slightly tweak about my Warbonnet is that it is super firm and has very little stretch. I might want a little more stretch but not too much more than the Warbonnet
I'm a little nervous about a couple decision points.
1) Making the hammock too wide - Checking "Wide as possible" would be interesting but it definitely makes me nervous. And wide as possible in the XL fabric is different from wide as possible non-XL fabrics?
2) Fabrics - What would you suggest given my priorities are increased comfort over the Warbonnet, and then weight for backpacking (in that order). If you think a double layer would be more comfortable, I would be willing to sacrifice weight for comfort.
Any advice would really help.
