The DD Hammocks Frontline Hammock King Size weighs 1250g and provides the largest hammock in the DD range at 3.2m x 1.7m. This double-layer hammock accommodates taller users and those wanting extra space, with built-in ultra-fine mosquito net and 2 x 80cm spreader poles for maximum interior space. Made for all-season hammock camping with 125kg weight capacity.
The King Size provides 50cm extra length (3.2m vs 2.7m) and 30cm extra width (1.7m vs 1.4m) compared to the standard Frontline Hammock, making it suitable for users over 6ft 5" or anyone wanting maximum comfort and space.
| Model | Weight | Size | Construction | Weight Limit | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DD Frontline Hammock | 850g | 2.7m x 1.4m | Double-layer | 125kg | Most versatile, all-season camping |
| DD Superlight Frontline | 620g | 2.7m x 1.4m | Single-layer | 100kg | Ultralight backpacking, thru-hiking |
| DD Frontline King Size (This Product) | 1250g | 3.2m x 1.7m | Double-layer | 125kg | Taller users, extra comfort |
| DD Recycled Frontline | 910g | 2.7m x 1.4m | Double-layer recycled | 125kg | Eco-conscious campers |
The King Size is the largest DD hammock at 3.2m x 1.7m and 1250g. The standard Frontline at 850g suits most adults up to 6ft 5". The Superlight Frontline at 620g is for ultralight backpacking. The Recycled Frontline at 910g is for eco-conscious campers.
The 3.2m x 1.7m dimensions make this the largest hammock in the DD range. The 3.2 metre length accommodates users over 6ft 5" (196cm) comfortably, providing adequate space for diagonal sleeping position even for very tall users. The 1.7 metre width provides extra space compared to the standard 1.4m width, creating a more spacious interior.
The extra 50cm length and 30cm width compared to the standard Frontline makes the King Size suitable for taller users who find standard hammocks too cramped, or for anyone wanting maximum comfort and space for extended camping trips.
The 1250g weight includes the hammock, built-in mosquito net, 2 x 80cm spreader poles, and elastic cord. This is 400g heavier than the standard Frontline (850g) due to the larger size and longer spreader poles.
The double-layer construction separates into a breathable base layer and top layer with velcro closure. Insert a partially inflated sleeping mat between layers for added insulation, or attach an underblanket using the 4 corner tabs for comprehensive underside warmth in winter conditions.
The 2 x 80cm spreader poles are 20cm longer than the standard 60cm poles used on other Frontline hammocks. The longer poles create maximum interior space inside the mosquito net, preventing the mesh from touching your face during sleep and providing a more spacious feel.
The ultra-fine mosquito net uses the same mesh as other Frontline hammocks, blocking Scottish midges, mosquitoes, and small insects. The net features double-sided zippers for easy entry from either side, and can be zipped closed for complete bug protection or rolled back and secured on the spreader poles for open lounging.
The King Size requires a larger tarp than standard hammocks due to the 3.2m x 1.7m dimensions. The DD Tarp XL (4.5m x 3m) provides the most effective coverage for the King Size. The DD Tarp 4x4 (4m x 4m) also works well.
The DD Tarp 3x3 used with standard hammocks is too small for the King Size. Browse our complete camping tarps collection for all DD tarp options.
Blends into UK woodland environments for wild camping discretion. Traditional outdoor camping colour that works across forest and countryside settings.
Multi-terrain camouflage pattern for bushcraft and concealment. Works across varied UK landscapes with military-inspired design.
Choose the King Size when you are taller than 6ft 5" (196cm) and find standard hammocks too cramped. The 3.2m length provides adequate space for diagonal sleeping position even for very tall users.
Choose the King Size when you want maximum comfort and space for extended camping trips. The extra 50cm length and 30cm width create a more spacious interior compared to the standard Frontline.
Choose the standard Frontline (850g, 2.7m x 1.4m) if you are under 6ft 5" and want to save 400g weight. Choose the Superlight Frontline (620g) for ultralight backpacking.
Build a complete hammock camping system with compatible equipment from our camping hammocks range and hammock suspension accessories collection. For winter camping, add hammock quilts and underblankets for comprehensive insulation.
Wylie's Outdoor World's owner Drew has personally tested every DD Hammocks product over almost a decade, using them 4 nights a week in the best and worst weather the UK has to offer. This extensive field testing provides real-world knowledge of when the King Size makes sense versus standard hammocks.
