I just thought I'd toss my hat in the ring.
I'm 6'-2 1/2" tall (about 189 cm?), my weight fluctuates but these days varies between 220 and 230 lbs. The DD Travel Hammock is the only hammock I've ever used, I've had it since March of '09 and have used it at LEAST monthly since then.
My feeling is that, it's all in what you're used to. I'm extremely comfortable in my DD Hammock... but I've never been in anything else! I hang this hammock pretty much as taut as I can- a fellow hanger at a recent campout remarked that he'd never seen a tarp hung higher on the tree than the suspension of a hammock- but I wouldn't be able to get in if I didn't do that! Also, I don't try to get "diagonal" very much, maybe a little but I spend a lot of time either on my back or "half-back, half-side" position and honestly unless there are extreme weather conditions I tend to sleep until somebody wakes me.
YMMV but I've got no problems with my DD traveler at almost 6'-3" tall. Someone coming from a BB or HH might have a whole other experience though, I really couldn't say. My secret has been, to stay out of those other hammocks!
