New forum?

[dc92974]

Curious if there is any interest in a forum for people sleeping in hammocks full time as bed replacements?

[fred1diver]

might be a good thread to start, might even develop it's own section, god only knows the topic (especially on installing them) comes up often enough

I've been advocating for such a thing for a while, but there really isn't enough chatter about it yet to justify it's own sub-forum. Believe me, it's of great interest to me and as soon as there is enough of a need, I'll whine a bunch to the other mods until they cave.

Do we have any notion how many HF folks actually are full time hammock sleepers? I can list only three, but then I don't get out of my hammock much.

There seems to be a poll thread pop-up once, or twice a year. Way more than three of us home sleepers around here.
There has been MUCH more discussion of non-camping hammocks in the past year. It won't be long before the mods discuss the idea again, but we aren't quite there yet.

I will be a full-time* sleeper soon. I am buying the lumber this weekend to make my indoor-stand.

I have read all the DIY posts, but I am doing a different style.
**Full time = whenever my wife isn't visiting (we live in different countries, waiting for visas to clear). I see her every weekend. So Monday-to-Friday, I will be full-time.

I actually got involved with this site looking for full-time hammock info. Have been sleeping in a hammock for 4 months now, and thanks to this site... "have" to start saving for a tent hammock

Do some searches with words like "indoor", "Brazilian", "Mayan", etc. There are several existing threads out there. Also, feel free to start a new thread on the topic in the General Hammock forum. Hammocks is hammocks and we talk about them all here.

I've been full-time in a hammock since about April of 2007. My girlfriend and I sleep in side by side Brazilians at home. We have no plans to ever own a bed again!

I am a part-timer at home. Probably three nights out of a week I sleep indoors in my hammock.

Nice. Hammock in April, forum member in May... sounds about like my scenario. If you don't mind me asking, what made you look into sleeping in a hammock at home? I was desperate for a solution to back pains I was having. Haven't had a problem since the first night in a hammock (I sleep in a Brazilian too). Most people don't believe me and think I'm crazy... the few that do also think I'm crazy but were curious enough to try it... now they sleep at least part time in hammocks too.
