I was convinced to sleep in a tent for a night while car/truck camping with some family. There were 5 of us in one big canvas tent, we all had 6"+ thick queen sized air mattresses and were on almost perfectly level ground and i had a nice memory foam pillow. It was as near a bed at home as it is feasible to assemble while camping. But, I couldn't believe how much I tossed and turned, and how sore I was when I woke up. I haven't been hanging long, but I'm now fully convinced of the superiority of hammocks. I had my hammock and tarp in my pack and thought longingly of it every time I was awakened by loud snores or to relieve a stiff limb.
If I were a bachelor I would hang full time.
