Thread: Hammocks

  1. #1

    Default Hammocks

    Just curious to know if the hammocks have a maximum comfortable height. Such as, could a 6'6" person get comfortable in one?

    Well I can only speak personally about a hammock for someone 5'8" but others that are taller have told me they are quite comfortable in a hammock. I'm getting one of the larger Hennessy Hammocks next week to test out. I'll see if I can find a tall guy in my unit interested in trying out.

    I'm 6'2" and I find my larger Hennessy Hammock to be very comfortable and there is enough extra room so that a person 6'6" should be OK with it also. This is however in a model that I don't think is still available, the 2000 Safari Deluxe, but I suspect that a larger hammock such as the 2002 Safari Deluxe A-Sym from Hennessy would still be just as comfortable.
