Depends on youre size. In general, a double is more comfortable than a single. I wouldnt consider a hammock good for two people. Elbows and hips, and the lack of ability to get into that comfortable lay. The best way to lay in a hammock is diagonal, and a double size hammock is better to do that with. A common mistake with hammock new-commers is setting there hammock up too tight.



If you are a petite short person, a double may be too big. Im 6' 2" at 230lbs and a double is great. My girlfriend is 8 inches shorter than me abd sleeps good in a double (she slept in mine setup in the bedroom lastnight).



A single is too small for me. Depending on the brand, my feet will hang off and i cant get diagonal. I dont know its called a double. It should be either the standard or single hammocks just called "smalls".



If you are thru-hiking and counting grams, stick wit a 2 person tent. Section hiking or weekends, hammocks are the way to go.



Good luck hangin
