I'm looking at getting my first quality hammock (currently have a gathered end 10ft from Amazon, SunYear brand), and starting to lean towards Warbonnet Blackbird XLC.
I watch a lot of YT videos about hammocks and heard The Marine say that he highly recommends a single layer hammock for comfort (conforms better to the body), and to only get a double layer if I need the weight support or want to use a pad between layers. I've never heard that reason given by anyone else, so thought I'd bring it up and ask if having the double layer is more uncomfortable than a single layer. I may want to try a pad sometime, but am mostly leaning towards an underquilt.
I'm 217 pounds (98.4 kg), 6ft 2in (188cm), so not a heavyweight. I'm not currently a backpacker, more car camping. Even the single layer XLC has a comfort rating up to 275 pounds, so I'm curious if I'd lose comfort by getting either of the double versions.
