I've hammocked a long time, but as I'm getting older (and wider), I'm finding it less enjoyable to get shoes on and get out of the hammock for the middle of the night bathroom run. It takes a lot of effort to get up and out. I've seen previous suggestions of switching to a bridge or bottom-entry hammock. Neither of those will work for me for various reasons.
And, I've attempted the straddling the hammock and pulling up method, but was not very graceful. And, it's annoying to have to unzip on both sides to do that.
If I stick with a typical GE hammock, would going shorter or narrower help enough in getting out? Or, would switching to a less stretchy fabric or going double-layer help? I know I should just work on my ab strength, but am thinking a new hammock might help me in the short-term.
(My last trip I was using my single layer DH Sparrow, if it helps.)
