Dream Hammock Sparrow

I think that is a custom order and will take longer to receive. Dream Hammock suggests 12’ long 72” wide for your height on this page. That would require a custom order 12’ sparrow with a wide fabric such as MTN 1.7.

I’d spring for the 950 fill if you can, it packs really nicely and has incredible loft. I also have the Dyneema tarp with doors from Hammock Gear and it’s a major factor in my winter comfort, I don’t think I’d enjoy cold weather camping without that tarp honestly. I’m a huge baby about getting cold but the combo I use has been more than sufficient in my Dream Sparrow.

I know it's not a common suggestion around these parts, but if you have a double-layer hammock (my Dream Sparrow works great for this), I'd try using a Klymit Hammock V pad. If you inflate it is much as you can, the pad and it's wings serve to spread the hammock out a bit and make it feel like it's a bit wider than it should, allowing a side-sleeper a bit of room for... thrashing?.

Hammock: Dream Sparrow 11ft, 60" wide single layer in 1.2oz MTN. Also considered WBBB XLC, but I'd like to use without a bugnet in nice conditions, and the "shelf" goes away without the net.

However the double owl is not a single piece of fabric as a higher end hammock would be. I found the strips added down each side did nothing to offer any usable width to the hammock, and instead seemed to flip in my face when I tried to lay diagonally. Overall, it was a decent starter hammock, but I am much happier and I sleep much better in the Dream Hammock Sparrow that I replaced it with.

It's perfectly fine for like a lounge outside on a sunny afternoon. I also had the (separately) eno bug net which was ok. It just fits around the whole hammock (didn't zip/attach to hammock)... You won't get a bugnet to zip into your eno by the way, without modifying/sewing stuff yourself... I just upgraded and got a dream hammock sparrow that arrived to me a month ago.

I think my next and probably last hammock purchase will be a wide single layer 2.2 Dream Hammock Sparrow. Good luck and happy hunting.

I've recently gotten a Dream Hammock Sparrow and learned what true comfort is. It's longer, sleeps flatter, has more comfortable fabric, and has a structural ridgeline and removable bug net. Wise Owl was ok to get started and learn the ropes on the cheap, but I'll never regret the upgrade.

Decided I don’t care for my ENO double nest, it’s impossible to find the right lay. Can’t wait for my new Dream Hammock Sparrow to show up. I am beyond excited about all the new places to sleep now that I have one of these.

If you don't already have other camping gear, you would be able to add a sleeping pad and summer rated topquilt for around your budget. I find the onewind hammock very comfortable and am completely happy using it. That said, I will be replacing it next year with a 12 ft model from one of the cottage companies (probably a Dream Hammock Sparrow) to lower the weight and, hopefully, increase comfort. For the brands you mentioned, you may not be able to get everything you need.
