I gave it a test run and woke up a couple of hours later.

Veeeeeeeeery comfortable... it is actually a close second to my big mayan hammock (but the mayan still wins). I could probably sleep on my stomach in this thing, very flat lay, very good for side sleeping, great lounging/tv watching hammock, the feel of the fabric is ok (but I give the feel of the DN a nod for being my favorite fabric), I love it! I'm actually a fan of having floppy sides available because I fold over the floppy part (which firms it up) and use that to rest my head on... it makes it not important to have a pillow.

I love this hammock! I will keep my ENO DN (my old every night hammock) as a backup and will also probably use it on my boat... but this is now my nightly sleeper for cool season and my mayan will be my summer hammock.

Thanks for posting this and finally giving me the nudge to pick one of these tablecloths up and go for it.

Ha! I came to the same conclusion about 18 months ago. Glad to see somebody else validate my thoughts. I don't sleep in a hammock at home; just while camping. The only negative I have found is its size/weight--not something I'd want to stuff in my pack and lug for 20 miles when I could use the ENO DN. However, for car camping it doesn't get anymore comfortable than this. And, for the price, it could be replaced every 6 months if you're concerned about its longevity.
