To sleep flat, do you guys hang the JH tight or loose?
To sleep flat, do you guys hang the JH tight or loose?
My wife sleeps with hers fairly tight, I sleep with mine giving pretty good sag. I am big, 6'2" 250 lb. and there is nothing more comfy for me than curling up in a fetal position on my side and sleeping like a baby, and then I can stretch out flat on my back with my feet up and sleep as well. I have never in my life been able to sleep on my back until I got a hammock.
More sag minimizes shoulder squeeze for me. I do notice that if the distance between the trees is too great it is tough for me to get comfortable. The ideal hang for me is 6 paces. Not very scientific, but that is the measurement I always have with me.
Experiment, discover, draw your own conclusions. That is the fun of this stuff.

I have been using lots of sag lately and find it nice and comfy.
