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.
