Haven XL?

[CVKealey]

Yes Sir...as far as I know both Havens require a side to side air mattress not one that runs the length of the hammock. I think you would feel like a hot dog in a bun using one of those.

Someone on YouTube (Spigyver Backpacking maybe?) tested with a mattress with longitudinal baffles and found it kind of worked.

Zen Bivy offering looks nice— their sizing guide indicates that they fit up to 3” thick mattresses; probably decent for backpacking to keep weight down. I know because it’s a modular system and a small company they can’t fit a range of mattresses, but I’d probably try one out if it fit a 4” thick mattress (like the Exped MegaMat).

Speaking of that… I take it the Haven and Haven XL require the horizontal baffle mattress for structure? I’d love to throw a MegMat in there but suspect that may not work too well

the zenbivy sheet is a very adaptable and will fit a wide range of mattresses. I have the 25 x77 model and it would fit any thing I would guess from 23-27 wide to 75-80 long and between 2 and 5 inches thick.

Just a thought and I haven't tried it in my Haven XL yet but have used a doubled up wool blanket in my ridge runner and it worked well instead of a UQ. Not a light solution but warm.

That's one thing I have plenty of - wool blankets. Might give that a try.

Amok Draumr - Looks a pain get in and out.
Tentsile UNA 1-Person Hammock Tent (3.0) - Three trees not two setup looks long.
OPEONGO AERIAL A1 - This looks to be winning don't know about price or any good.

As to the pad for the Haven...it would need to be side to side baffles for sure. And fit the inside exactly for the best lay.
Here is mine on ground, on Tensa Solo pole and camping.

So if one was to use this system with a HavenXL you would only need the bed, it would not be necessary to get the Zenbivy mattress/pad

Correct… but if this is for the XL I believe you’d have to stick with what they call the zenbivy bed and not the zenbivy light bed. The light bed is only available for up to 25” wide mattresses while the regular zenbivy bed is available up to 30” wide.

Good to know thanks. Was wondering when they were going to offer that!
