I use this stand: http://amzn.com/B00092M27I http://amzn.com/B00092M27I
And this hammock: http://amzn.com/B000NHQK4K http://amzn.com/B000NHQK4K
I also use a small cylindrical neck pillow and a twin-size down comforter.
I've been using this setup since mid-April with great success.
- Ursul 15y agoWhat sleeping position are you using? Straight or diagonal-Brazilian style?
- erso 15y agoI sleep angled. What's important also is the tension of the hammock. It took me a couple nights to get it set up the way I have it now.
- jodrellblank 15y agoWhat's important about the tension? To have it tense or not tense or however, as long as it's comfortable or adjusted by some rule of thumb? (I've not met a hammock)
- erso 15y agoToo loose and your weight isn't distributed as evenly as it could be. Also, too loose means a lot more curvature, which puts strain on your knees (or so I've found, as I have a testy knee). I think I'd say you know when it's set up properly when you feel almost weightless in that the hammock suspends your weight evenly. I wouldn't go by pictures of hammocks that have been set up as many are way more loose than I'd consider livable.
- blhack 15y agoI have pretty much the exact same setup as you :).
