neo is a huge fan of the Claytor hammocks. In fact, I think he just ordered one without a net for $30; don't know if it was a double bottom or not. warbonnetguy also made a post a couple of weeks back about 2 double bottom hammocks he made for someone that backed-out when it came time to pay. He might still have those available.
Careful, you'll end-up having to build an addition to your house so you have more closet space for your hammocks.
this here is what i use neo

the matrix has you
The minority voice around here: I just use Hennessy's Super Shelter ( one HH OCF underpad and space blanket) and I'm usually fine between 30 and 40, assuming adequate bag on top. By adding various cheap light items underneath, I can do the high teens, lowest I've had a chance to test so far. I probably would have a JRB or KAQ or Speer under quilt, except I didn't know any better and got the SS when I made my first HH purchase. But on the plus side, it's a fair bit cheaper than a down UQ, maybe a bit lighter ( not much ) and maybe getting it wet is not quite as much of a worry. And for me, so far, it has gotten the job done. And I hear the SS over cover does wonders, though I have never used it. I might buy one for this winter.
Although, I now have a netless Safari plus a JRB Bridge hammock on order. Other than pads, I have no way to insulate them. If I'm really crazy about that Bridge hammock, it looks like I'm going to be out a few more hundreds for some kind of UQ. Either that, or put up with pads. At least the JRB has a pad pocket. Who knows, maybe that will work as well as Neo's does. He certainly has no problems with a pad in his Claytor with pad pocket.
