Ayamaya hammock underquilt, stowed, with iPhone 10 included for purposes of scale. The quilt packs easily into the stuff sack, and can be cinched down a bit, but it is bulky. It is also not the lightest underquilt on the market. Based on the reviews, it is one of the most effective in its price range at actually providing effective insulation.

Temp was about 45*F when this was taken. Before attaching the underquilt, I sat in the hammock for a few minutes. That was comfortable enough but it was immediately apparent that it wouldn't be for long: my butt and back almost immediately felt a slight chill. That grew slowly but steadily as I swung.
After attaching the underquilt, the chill vanished. I took off my shoes and went prone inside with just my clothes, as you might for a lazy afternoon nap. Didn't need my jacket, which proved a dandy pillow. After ~20min I was on the threshold of falling asleep. Warm and comfortable, with no present need for an overquilt. Let the sun vanish behind the clouds and that would doubtless change. Still, I'm pretty happy with the underquilt's performance on its first test.
