Hammock-ridge-connection system

A hammock system comprising:

• first and second tethers;
• a bed portion;
• an upper portion comprising netting and cooperating with the bed portion to form an enclosure, the enclosure having opposing first and second ends spaced from one another along a longitudinal axis, the first end extending to and suspending from the first tether, the second end extending to and suspending from the second tether;
• a first connection system extending to connect the upper portion to the first tether;
• a second connection system extending to connect the upper portion to the second tether;
• and
• the first and second connection systems forming in the netting of the upper portion a ridge spaced from and positioned above the longitudinal axis and the first and second ends positioned along the longitudinal axis.

A hammock system comprising:

• first and second anchors;
• first and second tethers respectively suspended from the first and second anchors;
• a bed portion;
• an upper portion comprising netting and cooperating with the bed portion to form an enclosure, the enclosure having first and second ends spaced from one another and a length extending from the first end to the second end, the first end extending to and suspending from the first tether, the second end extending to and suspending from the second tether;
• a first connection system extending to connect the upper portion to the first tether at a location on the first tether that is spaced from both the first end of the enclosure and the first anchor;
• a second connection system extending to connect the upper portion to the second tether at a location on the second tether that is spaced from both the second end of the enclosure and the second anchor;
• and
• the first and second connection systems cooperating to suspend netting of the upper portion higher than the first and second ends of the enclosure.
