My first several hammocks were for camping (bicycle touring), 2008-2011, made of synthetics, light and compact. I found these so far superior to camping in a tent on the ground! In fact, I found that I slept better camping in a hammock than at home in bed. At first I thought it was mainly because I was so tired after biking all day, but I kept paying attention. My main trouble was keeping warm enough, but I solved that with an underquilt, able to stay warm all night down to about freezing.
When I got divorced after 27 years in 2013, I lost my home, and "camped" in a friend's basement for some months in transition. Needing to save both space and money, I bought my first cotton hammock, a Brazilian double, since the synthetics aren't very cozy. Wow! I suspended a normal blanket underneath for warmth. I'm sure the relief of being out of a bad marriage was part of it, but it's as if I had never slept before!
I soon commissioned a tiny house on wheels. With space so valuable, naturally I planned on hammocks for sleeping but also lounging: easy to hang out of the way in an instant. Tiny houses also have indoor air quality issues with humidity control and cooling in summer: traditional bedding is too hot and a mold hazard. It was 2 years before I received that house. I have now slept almost every single night for 3.5 years in a hammock, mostly yours! (Currambera and Carolina).
The key to popularizing gathered-end hammocks as primary, all-night beds, outside of tropical zones and camping contexts, is bottom insulation! It's just too cool in temperate climates to stay warm all the way to dawn without it. I have never encountered a product aimed at this for gathered-end hammocks, for indoor use. I have always improvised using either camping equipment or various quilts and clips and pins, not always very elegant or durable.
Just this week I received your padded Colibri. It is not nearly warm enough for camping in cool seasons, but it is almost perfect as an underquilt for my Carolina! I used elastic shock cord and carabiners to suspend snugly beneath the stout canvas of the Carolina: on hot nights I can remove it quickly, and it is not nearly as bulky as the normal quilts I had adapted for this use.
