I have been sleeping in a hammock for 2 years now. I find it comfortable and once you understand how to keep warm its great.
To put it into perspective I'm about to upgrade my living accomodation to a van after 2 years living in a small industrial unit (long story, tried to rescue a failing business bla bla bla).
To keep warm in a hammock you need an underquilt of some sort. I use a 13tog double quilt tied and hung underneath my hammock.
Over the top I have a ridge line and I have at the foot end another quilt tied at the bottom so i can pull it over like a cockpit hood.
At the head end I have a lighter blanket tied at the head end. This gives me the option of pulling over differnt over the top insulation depending on outside temps.
I'm preparing my van and to get in it quicker and out of my prison of an industrial unit asap. So i'll defo be using my hammock.
I'm have a SWB transit low roof and diagonally I can just fit my hammock across.
Defo try it first just dont be put off by cold spots. Once set up right its great.
Oh and for really cold nights I even fit an electric blanket between the hammock and the underquilt.

Sounds like a good setup, ill have to try it next time i'm in a hammock and cold. Sleeping bags seem pretty rubbish
