Bliss or Grand trunk?

[Mic]

A month or so back my youngest son wanted more room in his room. I had a Grand Trunk Ultralight I'd bought out of curiosity for an inexpensive hammock. I put it up for him and he loves it. I've since offered to get him a little nicer hammock but he loves the Ultralight as he takes it down from one end each day and has a larger room. My nephews son wants a hammock and asked where I bought it. I thought WallyWorld carried them but on their website they carry Bliss hammocks. My question is the Bliss hammock or Ultralight a better cheap starter or is it 6 of 1 and a half dozen of the other?

The Hammock Bliss hammocks are the same as ENO's and the Grand Trunk Doubles. They are all Parachute Nylon hammocks. IIRC the GT ultralight is a polyester taffeta and not as robust as the parachute nylon variety hence the price difference. I have a Hammock Bliss hammock and it is well made and is a good lounger/car camping hammock. There are lighter weight options if backpacking with it is a consideration.

Close to being the same but each is a little different. I own variations of each and each one (fabric) feels a different from the other and the widths, lengths and weight ratings are different.

IMO the ENO's fabric feels the most comfortable against bare skin.
