I sewed up a monster 13' hammock made of cotton calico and slept in it last night.
It was terrible.
The big problem is that the cotton hammock sticks to my cotton bedclothes. When I squirm around to find the sweet spot, my bedclothes become a twisted, uncomfortable wreck. It took forever to untwist them enough to get comfortable enough to sleep, but it was never quite right. I could feel my bedclothes dragging on me all night.
A more minor problem was how firm the cotton is. No give at all. It felt like sleeping on a board.
It's possible I could get used to these issues, but as I pondered them this morning I set up a Hexon 1.0 hammock for comparison and it felt so wonderfully soft, comfortable and non-grabby that I realised my cotton experiment was over after just one night.
