Can you sleep in a hammock without an Underquilt?
Using the same principle as tent camping, simply place a sleeping pad underneath your sleeping bag before settling in for the night. While both foam pads and air pads will work in a hammock, foam sleeping pads are cheaper and more durable than their inflatable counterparts.
How much down do you need for Underquilt?
It provides a denser insulation, helping the down hold onto warm air better. After 20-25%, the effectiveness of overstuffing will start to suffer from diminishing returns, where the mass of down will not allow for enough air to be trapped, causing a loss of efficiency.
At what temp do you need an underquilt?
The average sleeper will sleep comfortably with a 20°F underquilt in most conditions. While colder sleepers should select a quilt rated for 10°F or lower.
Do you need an Underquilt in the summer?
In general, without any real bottom insulation under you at all, you’d start to get a cold backside after a few hours in temps as high as the high 60’s. It gets this cool on many summer nights so you’ll normally need something for bottom insulation year-round. Your 2 options are: camping pad, or an underquilt.

Can you use an Underquilt as a top quilt?
Underquilt can be used as an alternative to the sleeping bag or topquilt when we want to sleep on the sleeping pad (remember that the sleeping pad should have a proper R-value). Take the quilt out of the bag and shake it down, so the down will expand more easily. Make a foot-box.
