When was it decided that head left/feet right was the traditional lay and head right/feet left was something else?

Guess I'm non-traditional...
Never heard of this "tradition" before. Care to elaborate?

I've always gone head right/feet left - didn't know there was a tradition.
"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." Ralph Waldo Emerson
I was reading another post where they were talking about traditional right lay. I think its because of WarBonnet's BlackBird
It does seem to be more popular, but I am feet-left.

Before Brandon ever made a hammock HH were feet right head left. Based on the location of the pullouts.Originally Posted by cjayflo
WB offers the standard lay which is the same as a HH and they offer a reverse with the footbox on the other side.
The WBBB is the only reason I can come up with.
Brandon is just a trend-setter is all.
It's bad luck to be superstitious.
Yes, the HH had the tie outs set up that way before Warbonnet started. My guess is, they had to go one way or the other, and simply settled on the head left/foot right.
Maybe that is direction Tom Hennessy prefers.
I prefer feet left. I'm also right handed.
I wonder if more left handed folk prefer feet right and more right handed folk prefer feet left. And do ambidextrous folk prefer bridge hammocks?
