Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
Does the SingleNest include tree straps?
No. ENO says hammock straps are sold separately. The attached carabiners connect the hammock to compatible suspension; they are not tree straps.
Explore this need in the finder →How wide is the SingleNest body?
ENO lists a 9-foot-6-inch by 4-foot-10-inch body. Its 58-inch width is a comparison dimension, not a guarantee that a particular sleeper will find the lay comfortable.
Explore this need in the finder →Is a bug net built into the SingleNest?
No integrated net is listed for this open hammock. Plan separate insect protection if needed, and verify the exact accessory and setup rather than treating it as included.
Explore this need in the finder →The SingleNest is a straightforward open hammock: a 9-foot-6-inch fabric body, attached carabiners and a stuff sack that stays with the hammock. Its most useful distinction is not an extraordinary capacity number but its narrower 4-foot-10-inch body. Compared with ENO's similarly long DoubleNest, it carries three fewer listed ounces and gives up 18 inches of width. That is a concrete tradeoff to consider if pack weight and body width matter more than extra room.
Read the dimensions as a comparison, not a fit promise
ENO publishes a 9-foot-6-inch by 4-foot-10-inch body, a 16-ounce hammock weight, a 400-pound maximum capacity and a packed size of 5.25 by 4 by 5 inches. The same page lists FreeWave 70D nylon and anodized 7075 aluminum hardware, along with triple-stitched seams and a hammock-grade carabiner. Those are manufacturer specifications. They do not establish a comfortable sleeping position for a particular person's height or build, and they say nothing about how a separate tree, strap or stand performs under load. The 58-inch body width gives shoppers a useful way to compare hammock formats. It is noticeably narrower than ENO's 76-inch DoubleNest while the two share the same listed body length and hammock capacity. ENO frames the SingleNest for one person; this review does not turn the rating into a two-person recommendation or a sleeper-height range. Try to match the body to how you actually want to recline, and remember that any pad, quilt or layers you add also occupy space.The standalone package stops at the hammock
The product page describes an integrated stuff sack with an internal stash pocket, useful for keeping small items near the hang. It also identifies the carabiners and side-release buckle as part of the hammock's hardware. ENO says tree straps are sold separately. In other words, the two carabiners on the body do not make it ready to attach directly to a tree: they connect to a compatible suspension system, which must be purchased or supplied separately. ENO recommends its Atlas-family straps for this gathered-end hammock and describes the SingleNest as compatible with its hammock straps. Check the exact suspension instructions and adjustment range before use, particularly if combining brands. The attached carabiners, straps, anchor and hammock have separate limits; the 400-pound hammock figure is not a whole-system capacity. A complete setup needs stable anchors and properly configured connections, not simply a carabiner that happens to clip.Plan for bugs, rain and cold separately
No integrated bug net is listed for the SingleNest. An open body can suit a simple warm-weather hang, but insect protection requires a compatible separate accessory if the site or season calls for it. A net is not a rain cover, and neither provides under-body insulation. ENO's instructions and campsite conditions should inform how accessories are attached; confirm each item fits this model rather than assuming every hammock component is interchangeable. The manufacturer lists the SingleNest as compatible with all ENO hammock stands, but its FAQ specifies the connection details. For the SoloPod XL, ENO says to use the included chain links at both ends; for the SoloPod, SoloPod XL and ENOpod, ENO directs users to replace the hammock's aluminum carabiners with the stand's stainless-steel ones. Check the exact current stand manual and required hardware before relying on that compatibility statement. “Same brand” is not a substitute for those steps.Who should choose a wider body?
The DoubleNest has the same listed body length and capacity but measures 6 feet 4 inches wide and weighs 19 ounces. That added fabric can offer more room to arrange a diagonal lay or share space, subject to the maker's 400-pound maximum and the instructions for the complete arrangement. It is not automatically a better choice: a wider body adds weight and bulk, while the SingleNest's smaller listed packed dimensions may suit someone who prioritizes a compact solo hammock. There is no independent test behind this assessment. The comparison uses ENO's published product pages and does not claim a measured pack size, real-world setup time, comfort result or durability finding. The SingleNest is a candidate when its narrower dimensions, open design and separately sourced suspension match your plans. Keep looking if a built-in screen or in-package straps are essential. Before purchase, confirm the exact color and standalone listing, then read current safety instructions, inspect every component and plan a low, controlled hang with a clear fall area.Primary references: ENO SingleNest product page, ENO FAQ and ENO Safety & Instructions.
