Warbonnet Ridgerunner Hammock

A bridge hammock is the closest thing to a flat bed you can hang. Spreader bars at each end hold the body open, so you lie straight along it rather than on a diagonal, which suits back and stomach sleepers who never settle in a gathered-end hammock. The trade-offs are real. The double-layer version with bug net weighed 2 lb 9.3 oz in independent testing, the bars are bulky in a pack, and a bridge feels tippy if it's hung too tight, so give it some sag. Warbonnet makes Lynx underquilts cut to its shape, which saves guessing at fit for cold weather. Its comfort rating tops out at 250 lb for the double layer, and broad-shouldered sleepers can find the fabric wrapping around their shoulders.
