As you can see I'm brand new here. I'm also brand new to hammocking.
My experience with hammocks is limited to that of some various generic (no brand name, that is) hammocks sold on the road in Mexico.
Overall these are very comfortable, except for one thing: My legs hurt like the dickens. I find myself waking up many times at night to stretch my legs or fold them up for some temporary relief.
The problem, I think, is that my legs just don't have enough space (and horizontality) to move around at night; they're pinned in a narrow confining space.
It seems fairly simple to me to have a hammock design that pulls tension from a point closer to my butt and then has a secondary set of tension wires to hold up a "leg box" that is large and fairly horizontal with the ground.
Question: What kinds of hammock am I looking for? Is this related to "asymmetrical" hammocks?
