Love this hammock! I've been sleeping nightly in hammocks for over 6 years (due to an injury, I can't lay flat. I need an incline for my head). Plus, there are research studies explaining the benefits of genlty rocking for sleep and brain health.I have used many different sypes of hammocks - rip-stop nylon, canvas, and various thicknesses of woven hammocks. Each has its pros and cons. Now, whole cloth hammocks, nylon, canvas, etc are good in that there is very good support and are very durable, but as soon as your weight hits the fabric, the material becomes stiff and loses some comfort factors.The woven hammocks can be woven with either thick or thin cordage. The thick cordage I found to be not very comfortable, while the thinner cordage can be extremely comfortable, as your weight is held by some of the cordage while the other strands not supporting your weight are soft and help distribute weight so there are no hard spots.The downside of cordage is: while together as a whole hammock the strands can hold significant weight, by themselves they can tear easiiy. For instance, I caught my watch on a single strand and it ripped and that eventually lead to the unwinding of my hammock making it useless. Indoors, there are less hazards to ripping a strand but it can still happen.Most folks hang their hammocks outside, so if you hang this hammock anywhere near bushes or any structural hazard and the wind blows the hammock into the hazard, I'd bet that the strands of the hammock would be torn in windy conditions.Now this hammock is the most comfortable hammock I have slept in, but I have to say I am very careful not to get it close to anything that will tear a single strand.
