Hammock Width & Length

Width

Hammock width is an important contributor to the comfort of your hammock, but is secondary to length.

Most of the time we try to use as much of the available fabric possible to make the hammock as wide as we can possibly get it. If you are using one our wider fabrics, we can certainly trim the fabric down to make your hammock narrower. Just indicate your desired width when placing your order. While we can always make your hammock narrower, we cannot make it wider than the fabric will allow.

A good starting point...

Your height	Length	Width
5ft 7in or shorter	10ft	58-60"
5ft 8in to 6ft	10ft	62-66"
	11ft	58-62"
6ft to 6ft 4in	11ft	64-72"
6ft 5in or taller	12ft	72"

Of course comfort is a very subjective and personal thing, but this chart may give you a rough idea of where you should start. 

 

 

Length

The length of your hammock is possibly one of the most important factors in determining a comfortable night's sleep. We have different hammock models available in 10ft, 11ft, and 12ft lengths.

Generally speaking, a longer hammock will tend to lay slightly flatter and have less "shoulder squeeze" so if you are in doubt, we recommend you go to the longer size. Going slightly to long rarely causes any issues, but going too short can cause comfort problems.
