Last summer I first purchased this product through my prime, having it shipped through Amazon and Amazon sent me a "defective" one. I contacted the company right away and I was told that the problem was with the hammocks Amazon had, that it was a bad batch, but if while buying it on amazon I picked hammock bliss as the vender I would get one that was from a better batch. The company exchanged the broken one for one they claimed to have tested. I thought all would be good. It was last fall, I used it a lot then. But a few days before forth of July weekend I went out to look through my gear and set things up before I took things out camping after stuff having been in storage sense last fall and found another rip in the netting! I contacted Hammock Bliss. They were very apologetic and asked me to send pictures of the tear and the netting. Apparently they have updated the netting so it's in three sections and constructed in a way that is harder to rip. After a few emails and pictures sent, they saw I did indeed have the older model with one big section of netting, not three and I quickly received a replacement hammock in the mail.I gotta say, this new one really does seem stronger and better constructed. Keep in mind, if your going to buy this product I would highly recommend trying to get the newer version. I don't know if the ones in the Amazon warehouse are the old kind or newer model. It might be best to choose hammock bliss as the vendor, they might be the most likely to have the newest model. Your call. You can always email them and ask at [email protected]. They have awesome response time and are friendly, down to earth folk!I should tell you my Sky Bed without netting is on the front porch permanently, and I have nothing but good things to say about the design of the hammock itself. I love the asymmetric lay and the sleeve for putting a camping pad in. I got the one with the netting, after falling in love with the original Sky Bed, because I wanted it for camping up north and hanging out back with my dogs. I sleep in the one on the front porch regularly, which is how I knew I already loved this style of hammock, so I just needed another to keep the bugs out and protect me from the squirrels throwing black walnuts from the tree above! I loved it so much, when it did its job, and could not wait to take it to camp in. I'm gonna test this new one in the backyard a lot before I trust it with the up north bugs!Oh, one more thing. I am disabled and find sleeping in a hammock to be the only way I can sleep without pain. But, after using an ENO Double and a Hennessy, I gotta say HB's asym style with the slot for my camping pad is the magic that makes hammock camping really work for my body. And a big plus, I never get too cold underneath cause of the pad. Also, getting in and out of this one is so much easier in so many ways compared to any other hammocks, including the bottom entrance my Hennessy allows, I just don't even want to bother laying in anything other than one of these. I highly recommend this style of hammock, especially if you deal with pain issues that sleeping on a bed can make worse.
