    Question which hammock should i buy?

    ok so i plan to buy a hammock to replace my bed in sleeping at night.
    i will use it exclusively in my room so it does not have to be weather resistant., i am 16 years old i weigh 60kg and i am pretty much 6ft tall. However i am not sure what to buy, so far i have seen these hammocks: http://www.seasidehammocks.com/COTTO...MMOCK-p31.html

    http://www.myhammock.com/proddetail....MAYAN-S&cat=13
    http://www.myhammock.com/proddetail....ARBADOS&cat=10

    Which do you think is the best for me? what's the right material? and i would greatly appreciate it if you suggested another good hammock for my cause.

    i have decided to get a hammock because i have trouble sleeping at night due to comfort issues... thank you for help.

    I'm sure a mayan would be comfy. You could check out these guys too.

    There has been recent discovery that longer hammocks are more comfortable...not wider, Especially for longer guys such as yourself.

    I would suggest any BIAS They're very reasonably priced, and would great in a situation such as your describing. Then when you get ready to go hiking you can just un-hook it from stand and head out the door with it.

    Hope this helps.
    I miss my 4.8Lb base weight as a ground dweller...But I sure DON'T MISS the ground.

    A Tenth Wonder XL is pretty cheap, although for dedicated indoor use, a cotton hammock would probably be better than a synthetic one
