I'm making the big switch to hammocks! but there are sooo many brands and models. Is any one here a Side Sleeper who can recommend a brand/model?

I'm a flip-floppin, rollin' around side sleeper who likes a Blackbird.

I think most of the wider hammocks can accommodate side sleepers. I do it in my Hennessy and in my home made gathered end hammock. Can't really do it in my Speer.

I'm a side sleeper on a bed but, in a hammock I sleep mostly on my back. My Warbonnet Blackbird comes in pretty handy for the times I do sleep on my side with the foot-box and all. I also find that I sleep halfway between being on my side and on my back.

Works great for me in my HHEx, my ENO and my DIY ... haven't had much of a problem side sleeping on any of the hammocks in my corral.

If you want a true flat lay try a bridge hammock. I usually don't like pads but put a neo air in my JRB BMBH and it is just like sleeping in a pillow top mattress at home. I tend to sleep on my side and stomach.

I'm a side sleeper (though it's possible for me to actually sleep a little on my back in a hammock) and I find the wider hammocks I own seem to be the most comfortable for side sleeping. I have a couple of Hennesseys, but my favorite is my diy.
I also find that the length of the hammock plays a part in my side sleeping comfort. I have a really hard time being able to feel flat and comfy in a shorter hammock. I prefer something at least 10ft long.
