Side Sleeping

**Hooch** · 12-17-2007, 04:54

I'm also a side sleeper, but don't use a Hennessy. I'm an ENO user, sleeping in an ENO DoubleNest. I sleep great on my side in it with no problems whatsoever. The extra width of the DoubleNest is great, allowing me to lay nice and flat in an asym position on my side. Comfy!

I sleep more comfortably on my side in a Speer or HAAB style hammock than I do in my HH. It's easier to stretch out.

I sleep in all sorts of positions. No problems on back, side or even stomach. I find a pillow is unnecessary in a hammock, even though I can't sleep well without one in a bed.

Sound of banjos? Ha ha!

"You sure got a pretty hammock."

I often sleep in between side and back sleeping, on a forty-five, you can't do that in anything but a hammock. I find my Hennessy quite comfortable, but I've not tried another hammock yet.

For a DIY hammock & side sleeping, can someone describe or link to a fold/whipping method that will (hopefully) create a hammock that is good for side sleeping? I can pretty much ONLY sleep on my side.

I'm lucky I guess because I can sleep comfortably on my side in all of my hammocks, including my HH.

traviso71, based on some of the earlier comments you might try using a cinch method. It's just a hemmed channel at the ends of the hammock that you run the cord through and tie a knot; simple.
