    Best Wide Camping Hammock?

    At Kickstarter, I just backed the Sierra Madre Research Nube at the top tier, which includes a Pares hammock: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...y-sierra-madre

    At 6.5 feet wide, the Pares is one of the widest camping hammocks I've seen. The only other one I know of that's wider is the ENO Double Deluxe, which is a whopping 8' 4" wide: http://www.eaglesnestoutfittersinc.c...LE-DELUXE.html

    However, the Double Deluxe got some bad reviews at REI due to a seam that goes down the middle: http://www.rei.com/product/814102/en...-header-814102 so although it's not as wide, I still feel inclined to go with the Pares. There aren't many reviews on the Pares yet, but from the few I've seen at these forums, at Amazon, and at the Sierra Madre website, they're all practically 5 star reviews.

    Are there any other camping hammocks out there that are high quality and wide for perpendicular sleeping? Thanks

    I know that you can get a tablecloth hammock at 7.5 feet but I have no experience with them.

    The 156x90 tablecloth hammock allows a 6'4" 300 lb guy to look like a little kid in that hammock.

    I was trying to figure out why I didn't get this one, as I know I looked at it several times and 750lbs is plenty strong enough and 8' wide is plenty wide enough. Then I looked at a bunch of other sites selling it and realized why: it's 750lb capacity *hanging ropes* and 350lb tested hammock strength. The way it's worded on that site is misleading. Too bad too, as it'd be fun to try double hammock camping without having to spend a ton XD

    I believe it is 2.6oz sq/yd polyester crinkle taffeta.
    Handles 300lbs easily.
