Shawn, I have both and find the WBBB perhaps gives me a better nights sleep, but the Woodsman is better for sitting in during daytime since the bugnet can be removed 360 degrees, meaning the edge of the netting doesn’t wedge against the back of your neck while sitting upright in the hammock which happens with the WBBB. They’re are both very good hammocks though. I’m very happy with either.

11 ft standard is fine.

The footbox design is clearly different using different techniques but achieving similar results. The Woodsman X also has a removable bug net. The Warbonnet Blackbird has perimeter tie-outs to pull out the sides of the hammock. A few other odds and ends.

As for side-sleeping, I often sleep on my side and in a semi-fetal position in all the hammocks I own. I haven’t found one that is better or worse, necessarily. Gathered-end hammocks, with their low center of gravity, really help maintain a balance and prevent you from tipping, so side sleeping and tossing and turning are no problem. Sometimes it can feel like working around in a water bed, but it is doable.

Thanks, Derek 🙂

I believe it is a 10 ft (305 cm) long.

Thanks Tord, this is really useful. I would have guessed that all double-layer hammocks allow the user to slip in insulation between the fabric.
