We picked up a set of Alite Mantis' for Oshkosh and other camping last year.
1.8 pounds each and pack pretty small. Very comfortable but pricey at $100 each.
Don't lean back too far tho.

The extra funny to this photo (and Dani even laughs about it now) is my wife is a complete city girl who is afraid of all the 'little animals' in the grass. So, when she fell back and didn't want to put her hands in the grass to get up...this was the look I got when instead of grabbing her hand, I grabbed the camera.

My gal has an unreasonable fear of snakes and believes that any grass longer than 4" harbors all kinds of slimy creatures. That has a lot to do with why she doesn't go camping with me, which is OK, because a little time apart now and then is good for the relationship.

I used to think a hammock would be a great way to sleep. Then I spend several days on the Amazon in the belly of a ship with at least a hundred other people. Might have been the sticky, humid heat, the smell of too many people in a small place or maybe the bugs, but if I ever spend another night in a hammock it will be too soon.

Interesting to note, though, that lots of people in Brazil sleep sideways in their hammock, not length-wise. I tried it, but I'm too tall to find comfort either way.
