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.
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.
