You know, you’ve found the secret — it’s not always about the biggest, most expensive brand; it’s about what works for you. I agree that many “cheap” hammocks work just fine and my $20 Grand Trunk ultralight hammock still works for me and I find it very comfortable. Hanging it right always makes a big difference too. And sorry for the LATE reply; for some reason my WordPress had cached all comments from 2023 so I’m just now seeing them!

I’ve had this hammock for years now, currently on my back balcony with the net underneath me, but I only skimmed through most of these comments so I might have missed what I’m about to say. Has anybody compared this hammock to a traditional cheap hammock? Did anybody comment about how you can lay almost perfectly flat on the diagonal in this thing? I have two hammocks that are almost $400 and I have nine other hammocks that are more traditional and cheaper but this Beyer of Maine hammock is my favorite to lay in, it has the best way of almost any hammock on the market for this price.
That’s my two cents worth, thank you for your detailed review.

In reply to Sydney. I would argue that all whoopie slings are universal. Some retailers may recommend them for a certain hammock but it's mostly marketing.

Hi I noticed you mentioned the options of threading a whoopie sling or a continuous loop in order to enhance the suspension system. I was curious what whoopie sling would you suggest getting for this particular hammock? I was looking around and noticed that some are specified to certain hammock brands and some seem universal.

In reply to Liam Grice. My guess would be the length, but I am also drawn to some of my first hammocks. Nostalgia?

I fell in love with hammocking in the older version of this hammock with the nettle strings( sale price was10$,no netting). Even though there was a tangle factor, it was very long and light. After using a more expensive gathered end hammock, I will be going back and buying the same older style but with netting. The older version is still around, but looks like this is the replacement at Nearly 3 feet shorter. There was something about that type of hammock that was very comfortable. The fabric? The length? The strings?
