The Best ENO Hammocks
ENO sells camping hammocks, an ultralight, a bug-net model and two patio hammocks. Picking well is mostly a matter of knowing which is which.

The DoubleNest is the ENO to buy: 400 lb, 114 by 76 inches, 19 oz, and OutdoorGearLab's best all-around pick. Buy the SingleNest instead to save 3 oz if you never share, the JungleNest if you want the bug net built in, and the Sub6 at 5.8 oz if weight is the only criterion.
Part of our camping hammocks hub. ENO's range splits into three groups that are not interchangeable: gathered-end camping hammocks, the ultralights, and the patio hammocks with frames and spreader bars. Most confusion about ENO comes from comparing across those groups.

1. Best all-around camping hammock
ENO DoubleNest Hammock
The most widely sold camping hammock there is, and OutdoorGearLab's best all-around pick.
Specifications
- 400 lb capacity
- 114 in x 76 in (9 ft 6 in long)
- 19 oz
- 70D high-tenacity nylon taffeta
- Ranked best all-around hammock by OutdoorGearLab and best two-person by Treeline Review
Source: Treeline Review 2026 spec table, OutdoorGearLab 2026 and REI. We publish specs we can attribute and leave the rest blank rather than assuming a typical value.
What it does well
- The safest first camping hammock — everything is built to fit it
- Double width gives a diagonal lay for one person
- ENO publishes underquilt compatibility for it, which few hammocks have
Where it falls short
- Straps are sold separately
- Plain nylon with none of the comfort upgrades of the cottage brands

2. Camping and lounging, one person
ENO SingleNest Hammock
The single-width DoubleNest — lighter and cheaper if you never share the hammock.
Specifications
- 400 lb capacity
- 114 in x 58 in (9 ft 6 in long)
- 16 oz
- 70D high-tenacity nylon taffeta

3. Bug net built in
ENO JungleNest Hammock
A 10-foot body with the bug net, ridgeline and gear loft already attached — the ENO that needs the fewest extra purchases.
Specifications
- 300 lb / 136 kg capacity
- 10 ft x 4 ft 10 in (3 m x 1.4 m)
- 20 oz / 567 g
- Packs to 10 x 5 x 5 in

What it does well
- A 10 ft body lies flatter than the DoubleNest's 9 ft 6 in
- Net, ridgeline and gear loft included — three purchases saved
- The net stows rather than coming off
Where it falls short
- 300 lb is 100 lb below the DoubleNest

4. Cutting pack weight
ENO Sub6 Ultralight Hammock
ENO's ultralight — the weight-first option when the hammock has to disappear into the pack.
Specifications
- 300 lb capacity
- 9 ft x 4 ft
- 5.8 oz
- 30D ripstop nylon
Source: Treeline Review 2026 spec table. We publish specs we can attribute and leave the rest blank rather than assuming a typical value.
What it does well
- 5.8 oz is a third of the weight of a SingleNest
- ENO suspension compatibility
Where it falls short
- Thin 30D fabric is less forgiving of rough bark and sharp gear
- 300 lb is the lowest rating in the ENO range

5. A modern spreader-bar hammock
ENO DayLoft Hammock
ENO's spreader-bar hammock, redesigned with double-walled bars to fit two people better than the original did.
Specifications
- 400 lb capacity
- 118 in x 44 in
- 10.1 lb
- Recycled polyester with stainless steel and aluminum hardware
- Double-walled spreader bars, redesigned to fit two people better than the original
Source: Treeline Review and CNN Underscored coverage, 2026. We publish specs we can attribute and leave the rest blank rather than assuming a typical value.
What it does well
- Flat lay without the sag of a gathered-end hammock
- Redesigned bars address the two-person fit of the previous version
Where it falls short
- Spreader-bar hammocks tip more easily than gathered-end ones
- Not compatible with the ENO bug nets and tarps built for gathered-end hammocks
Illustrative photograph of the category, not this exact product.
6. A backyard ENO, not a camping one
ENO SuperNest SL Hammock
Olefin fabric and mesh on an aluminum frame — ENO's patio hammock, which is a different product from everything else with the name on it.
Specifications
- 400 lb / 181 kg, two-person
- 8 ft x 4 ft 7 in (2.4 m x 1.4 m)
- 17 lb / 7.7 kg
- Olefin fabric, PVC/polyester/olefin blend mesh, polyester trims, anodised aluminum, stainless hardware
Source: ENO SuperNest SL retailer spec listing (wanderlustoutfitters.com), 2026. We publish specs we can attribute and leave the rest blank rather than assuming a typical value.
What it does well
- Built to stay outside in a way no nylon camping hammock is
- 400 lb covers two people sitting together
Where it falls short
- 17 lb and rigid — this never goes in a pack
- ENO's own underquilts are explicitly not compatible with the SuperNest line
Illustrative photograph of the category, not this exact product.
Camping, ultralight or patio
- Camping (DoubleNest, SingleNest, JungleNest). Gathered-end nylon, packs small, takes ENO nets, tarps and underquilts. This is what people mean by an ENO.
- Ultralight (Sub6, SuperSub). The same shape in thinner fabric. The Sub6 is 5.8 oz against the SingleNest's 16 oz, and 300 lb rather than 400 lb.
- Patio (DayLoft, SuperNest, SuperNest SL). Spreader bars, frames, olefin fabric, 10 to 19 lb. These do not pack, do not take ENO's gathered-end accessories, and are explicitly excluded from Ember and Vulcan underquilt compatibility.
Straps are not included
This is the single most common surprise in an ENO purchase. A DoubleNest is a hammock, two carabiners and a stuff sack — the suspension is a separate item, usually the Atlas at 9 oz and 400 lb combined or the Helios at 4.3 oz and 300 lb. The TravelNest combo exists precisely because so many buyers want the straps in the box.
If included straps matter to you, that is the strongest argument for the competition, which is what ENO vs Wise Owl is about.
Where the capacity numbers split
The DoubleNest, SingleNest, DayLoft and SuperNest SL all publish 400 lb. The JungleNest and Sub6 publish 300 lb, which is the price of an integrated net on lighter fabric and of 30D ripstop respectively. Nothing in ENO's range reaches the 500 lb published by a Wise Owl DoubleOwl or a Kammok Roo Double.
What we would buy
- One ENO for everything: DoubleNest. 400 lb, 19 oz, and every accessory is built to fit it.
- Never sharing, saving weight: SingleNest at 16 oz.
- Bugs are the problem: JungleNest — net, ridgeline and gear loft included.
- Weight above all: Sub6 at 5.8 oz, accepting 300 lb and thin fabric.
- A flat lay on a deck: DayLoft, understanding that it is patio furniture.
- A hammock that lives outside: SuperNest SL in olefin.
Common questions
Which ENO hammock is best?
The DoubleNest for most people: 400 lb, 114 by 76 inches and 19 oz, and OutdoorGearLab's best all-around pick. The SingleNest is the better buy if you never share it, and the JungleNest if you want the bug net integrated.
What is the difference between the ENO DoubleNest and SingleNest?
Width and weight. Both publish 400 lb and both are 114 in long, but the DoubleNest is 76 in wide at 19 oz and the SingleNest 58 in at 16 oz. The full comparison is at DoubleNest vs SingleNest.
Do ENO hammocks come with straps?
No. The hammock ships with carabiners and a stuff sack; the Atlas or Helios suspension is bought separately, or you buy the TravelNest combo which bundles straps with the hammock.
How much weight does an ENO hammock hold?
400 lb for the DoubleNest, SingleNest, DayLoft and SuperNest SL; 300 lb for the JungleNest and the Sub6. Your straps can be lower than that — the Helios publishes 300 lb combined — and the lowest-rated part sets the limit.
Which ENO hammocks work with an ENO underquilt?
ENO states that the Ember and Vulcan UnderQuilts fit all its hammocks except the DayLoft and SuperNest. Practical detail for DoubleNest owners is on the best underquilts for the ENO DoubleNest.
