DoubleNest vs TravelNest Hammock: Which ENO Hammock Fits Your Trip

Quick answer

For solo travelers who want a simple, ready-to-hang setup, the TravelNest® Hammock + Straps Combo is the better fit. For couples or anyone who wants extra room to stretch out, the DoubleNest Hammock Print + Atlas Straps Bundle is the way to go. Both include straps, so you can hang right out of the box.

Choosing between the ENO DoubleNest and TravelNest comes down to one question: how much space do you need, and how much do you want to carry? Both hammocks are made for easy hanging, but they serve different trips.

We'll break down the real differences using the specs we have, so you can pick the one that matches your plans without second-guessing.

Size and capacity: single vs double

The DoubleNest is a two-person hammock, so it gives you plenty of room to lie diagonally, sit up with a friend, or just sprawl out. The TravelNest is a single hammock, sized for one person to relax comfortably. If you often share your hammock or want a roomier feel, the DoubleNest wins. If you're always solo and want to save weight and bulk, the TravelNest is the smarter choice.

Neither hammock lists exact dimensions in the catalog, so we can't give you precise measurements. But the single vs double distinction is the key decision point: a double hammock is wider and longer, which adds comfort for some but also adds packed size.

• Measure your available hanging space before you buy: a double hammock needs more distance between trees.
• If you're under 5'10" and sleep solo, a single hammock like the TravelNest is usually plenty.

Setup and included straps

Both the TravelNest and the DoubleNest bundle come with straps, so you don't need to buy suspension separately. The TravelNest includes its straps in one combo, while the DoubleNest bundle pairs the hammock with Atlas Straps. That means either option gets you hanging in minutes, with no extra shopping.

The difference is in the strap type: Atlas Straps are known for their daisy-chain adjustment, which makes finding the right hang easy. The TravelNest's included straps are designed to match its compact setup. Both are simple enough for beginners, but if you want the most adjustable suspension, the DoubleNest bundle has the edge.

• Check tree distance and trunk diameter at your campsite; most straps need 2-3 feet of trunk to wrap.
• Always use tree-friendly straps to protect bark and follow local rules.

Weight and packed size

The TravelNest is built as a go-anywhere hammock, so it's lighter and packs smaller than the DoubleNest. The DoubleNest, being a two-person hammock, naturally takes up more space and weighs more. If you're counting ounces for a backpacking trip, the TravelNest is the clear winner. If you're car camping or heading to a festival, the extra bulk of the DoubleNest is a fair trade for the extra room.

The catalog doesn't list exact weights for either hammock, so we can't give you a number. But the single vs double design tells you what to expect: singles are lighter, doubles are roomier.

• For backpacking, every ounce counts: go with the TravelNest.
• For base camp or festivals, the DoubleNest's comfort is worth the extra weight.

Price and value

At the catalog price, the TravelNest combo is $27.48, while the DoubleNest bundle is $57.45. Both are discounted from their comparison prices, so you're getting a deal either way. The TravelNest is the budget-friendly pick, especially for a first hammock or a spare. The DoubleNest costs more but gives you a two-person hammock and premium Atlas Straps.

If you're shopping for two people, the DoubleNest bundle can actually save you money compared to buying two singles. If you're solo, the TravelNest keeps more cash in your pocket.

• Consider the Deluxe Hammock Hanging Kit if you want to hang indoors, but it's not required for either hammock.
• Check for sales: both hammocks show significant discounts off comparison prices.

Trade-offs to weigh

• Space vs portability: The DoubleNest gives you two-person room but packs larger and heavier. The TravelNest is lighter and more compact but fits one person. Choose based on whether you prioritize comfort for two or a lighter pack.
• Strap system: The DoubleNest bundle includes Atlas Straps, which are highly adjustable. The TravelNest includes its own straps, which are simple and integrated. If you want the most adjustable suspension, go with the DoubleNest bundle.
• Price: The TravelNest combo is $27.48; the DoubleNest bundle is $57.45. Both are discounted. The TravelNest is the budget pick; the DoubleNest is an investment in shared comfort.
