Question 1

but what is the maximum length it can be stretched?  i see all the ads showing a person laying across it, but i want to lay on it lengthwise.

Accepted Answer

The stand from arm to arm is 9 1/2 feet long. The hammock stretched out flat on the floor is 12 ft long from hook to hook. The fabric part of the hammock is 7 1/2 ft long. When on the stand, I lay in mine lengthwise, and sometimes diagonal when I want to lay on my side or lay a little bit more flat. When camping and using tree straps I love to put it higher in the tree and lay in it sideways and swing it. It's comfortable in all directions!

Question 2

If you are to lay in this hammock will it always cocoon you as it's a double?

Accepted Answer

If you sleep solo in the center of a large Brazilian/Yucatan style hammock, you're going to get "walls" of cloth on either side of your head. You're supposed to lie diagonally in them, but even so you'e going to get a "wall" on one side of your head or the other. It feels claustrophobic if all you've ever done is sleep in a bed. That was me. But the feeling of cradling and the overall joint support you get after a snooze is incomparable and I got over the cons real fast--no aches and pains on waking! If the claustrophobia is a problem, get a single. But if you want something more like a bed experience, that's what they invented spreader bar hammocks for, but count on getting dumped out now and then. One compromise you can make is to put a really firm standard pillow under your head--it acts like a spreader enough to give you head space, but doesn't change the physics, comfort, and stability of sleeping on a flexible plane suspended from 2 poles.

Question 3

Is the sunbrella more abrasive and less comfortable than the cotton version?

Accepted Answer

The sunbrella is bomb proof. It also feels smaller, more narrow, and not scratchy, but not as comfortable as cotton. It looks perfect after a season in the elements. I have also owned 2 cotton hammocks by this seller. They felt larger, stretchier, more comfortable, cost 1/2 the price, and were totally faded after one season in the elements.

Question 4

i'm thinking about buying one of these to take camping with me. how heavy is the frame when in the case and about how big?

Accepted Answer

If your car camping there great  because  you don't need trees and there very easy to fit 3 under a 10x10 screen pop up then move them one handed as needed. 
    Backpacking,  think taking a bag the size of golf glubs along so. I'm sure someone  has done it, but carrying 2 3/4 of a miles wasn't  fun.
