Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
They're not that comfy - you can get a decent hammock for between £10-£15 - check out ebay:

yeah seen them,seen a turquoise one but i dont no weather to buy it or not (the turquoise one is £9.99
I used to use a net one many years ago, it will compress your sleeping bag so much you may as well not bother.
I still use it, but only as a gear shelf above my proper hammock which is a Nomad jobbie, much better.

My net hammocks (DD and homemade) are the most uncomfotable thing since sleeping on the ground, much better off with a fabric hammock unless you like waking up lookling like pinhead without the pins.
Not bad gear hammocks though as its easy to find stuff.

thanks guy thought they weren't a great idea but i was thinking of putting a self inflating mattress on the top i dont no if it would help it though :/
You'll find it'll slip out from under you... Hammocks like the DD have a pocket you can put a self inflater in and it stays put. Honestly IMO for the extra tenner it's worth getting a tenth wonder/dd/nomad

)Netted Hammocks are only good for 2 things, hanging gear and making shoelaces. think of your hammock as an investment. i went for a DD camping hammock cos i'm just over 6' but if you're shorter the scout is perfect for you. *not affiliated bla bla bla*
not certain but i doubt it tbh. i generally just stick to the army surplus, the specialist camping shops or buying direct online.
I've found net hammocks to be comfortable enough but TBH I only use hammocks in hot weather; no sleeping bag or cover of any kind needed. In fact that's one of the reasons I chose net, it's cooler than lying in fabric. After all they (hammocks) were originally invented by tropical peoples. I don't really like them in cooler climates.
