Muslin is pretty tough stuff -I"ve used blankets for quilts My family are campers- NO AIR MATTRESSES-so blankets add a lot of padding for our old bones and about 9 yrs ago my one brother who is 6ft 4 and weighs in at apprx 375 [this is his -tiny-wgt] I re-made his hammock I made him a scrappy plaid top with a blanket center and muslin back and he's still using it.The thing with muslin is it shrinks I wash and dry it a couple times before using it.
