I am around 5'10". Is it better to get the reg. size, or would the small do? I plan on using with a hammock and my legs/feet could hang off? Thoughts?

Get the regular sized ThermARest. My son is about 5'7" and it fits him well enough for his head, body hips and legs can hang off the end when camping and using a sleeping bag.

get the regular size,I am 5'9" and it is perfect and you could always fold a section if fit is an issue in the hammock

If you're under the weight limt you will be fine. My boyfriend has the adult size and I have the kid size and you can't really see any difference. I'm 26 and about 127 pounds and am totally comfy in my Hennessy scout, I would recommend this hammock to anyone.

I bought the XL and it fits good. My wife is 5'3" and she has used it also. She just had to wrap the strap around more. Works very good for both my wife and myself.I'm assuming that the straps are shorter on the small size . To me the larger one is one size fits all

I'm 6 foot, and 190lbs. I didn't have any trouble sleeping in this hammock. If you are claustrophobic, get the larger model, otherwise, it was fine.

Hi! I am 5'5" and it is very comfy to me. I have the regular size one as well and I liked it but when I got the XL for my husband I found it to be more roomy and comfy. I tended to spend more time trying to lay back in it, so I can't recall if my feet touched the foot rest or not when in the sitting position seen in the picture here. I hope that helps some...

I got the 86"X35", but if I had to choose over again, I'd get the bigger one. When I wanted to roll over, there just didn't seem like there was enough room. I'm 5'8" and about 150 lbs.This size was OK, but if you have the room in your sleeping bag, I'd get the bigger one. I am an inexperienced camper.

What if you are a small adult (at ~100 lbs)? Should you get the smaller one?

As a 5'10" individual I was surprised by the length of the adult long, it went up to my mid-thigh but could be adjusted and brought down to knee level (I was in a below-knee cast). I'd advise to look at the measurements but I imagine a medium would fit you fine. Their design allows for some flexibility when it comes to positioning so keep that in mind

I bought a small and I am 5'4" and weigh 125. And, they are still a little large. But, waders are not "form fitting". I love mine.

Hi. Ill be honest im not sure if thats best idea. U will have to cut a supportive rope a lot. And probably loose 1 or 2 pieses of float so in my mind this item looses its meaning. Also those foam floaters are big so not sure if its convinient for small sized person to wear. Im 5'10" and 180lbs, my gf is 5'4" and 112. I would suggested vest for yr child. Tnx

The Small is best for you. I'm 5'6" and have always had a medium, but this Small fits me just fine.

I'm 5'11" and I got the 40 foot inch and a half, it works great for me, 50 feet would be even better, but I wouldn't go less than the 40 if it were me, just seems too short, unless all your gonna do is alternating speed waves.

First the way you lay in a hammock is at a angle across. Your feet on one side your head the other and your bum in the middle. I hang mine about 12 feet apart at about 7 feet high. The middle is about 2 feet off the ground. I'm 6'5" 210#. The family (biggest) is the most comfortable the matrimonial is the smallest I would recommend. Sense your trees are close together I would think the smaller ones would not be very comfy. I also like to read with my bum in the middle back toward the tree and a foot nearly hanging off each side. At 9' you will have to hang it higher and lay almost at a 90 degree to the trees. I recommend you order the all nylon as they weather better.

I am 5'5" and I like the short one. The weight matters a lot to me because I purchased it to hike great distances, and every ounce matters when you carry it all day over rough terrain. The only thing I had a problem with is the amount of room around the legs. I'm a pretty active sleeper and tend to move around a lot. Perhaps the 6' would have given me more room in that area as well. I'm very happy with it, however, and there was plenty of room at my feet and head as far as length.

At 5'7" & 138 lbs, I ordered a small. They fit well but are slightly big once they are wet. I would think a small would be your best choice, they should fit very snugly for better performance.

I'm 180lbs and have the medium. I would suggest you get the small. It still may slide down with vibration, because the design. It's a great product by the way!

Having both, I'd go with the 12' if you are over 5'7" or if you are heavy at all. The smaller one is fun but the longer one comes with the straps on the front too. Great boards! We love them!
