There are several types of mosquito nets, with each type delivering a certain function. The importance of purchasing a mosquito net, is to understand first, ?what will I be using this for?? and ?will this mosquito net work for this particular use?? These are very important questions and one that an educated consumer should know prior to making a mosquito net purchase.

The single point canopy can also be a great  piece, but usually is not the best for actual protection. The Mombasa line of the Siam, with bamboo ring, is the most popular of all single point mosquito nets. The Siam can fit a king sized bed and comes in 5 colors (White, Ivory, Black, Brown & Ruby) and is considered the premiere single point piece. The Mombasa Magic, with a faux bamboo ring, is another good choice for a twin sized bed and even a queen from a purely angle. The Magic comes in 6 colors (White, Ivory, Sand, Black, Blue, Brown & Ruby). The Mombasa Bali is a cotton gauze net that is reminiscent of a classic Arabian scene and this net is good for keeping out no-see-ums.

The most popular of all mosquito nets are the four point canopy style nets that cover the bed on all four sides. Two of the leading brands are the Mombasa Majesty and Nicamaka?s Shenzen Travelers. Both attach at four points on the ceiling and have four overlapping side openings. While these give mosquito protection, they are used primarily for kids, as both offer an element of glamour and intrigue to the bedroom. The Majesty is available in 6 colors (White, Ivory, Black, Sand, Blue, Brown & Ruby) while the Shenzen bed canopy is available in White and Black.
