    Lightbulb The Hazards Of Beds!

    This article I found highlights the unknown dangers of sleeping in a bed. Further research I did verified this so, now I'm seriously considering going to a hammock full time! Frankly, I've been looking for more reasons to rid myself of a bed and I think I just found them!! Absorbing toxins over my lifetime that are given off from bedding materials is not for me. Spread the word...

    I commented on the article with several plugs and info for future converters. Maybe, just maybe......one person's life can be changed in this world........ONE hammock at a time, lol.

    You need another question along the lines of "yes, I would like to but the move would cost too much in terms of domestic tranquility". ;-)
    YMMV

    Free advice worth what you paid for it. ;-)

    Whew. Glad the gf and I had the talk about converting to full-time. When the time comes, hello brazilian or mayan!
    I may be dumb, but at least I'm ugly!

    I've done so much, with so little, for so long, now I can do anything with nothing.

    It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.

    I'm happily married and wish to keep it that way. I love my wife and want to be close when possible.

    Have been in mine for almost 3 years now and never consider going back to a bed. The few times I have had to go back to a bed have been pure misery. After 40 years of marriage my wife and I both agree we sleep better separate.
    Most of us end up poorer here but richer for being here. Olddog, Fulltime hammocker, 365 nights a year.

    Lost me at "The Building Biology ideal is to sleep in the undistorted magnetic field of the earth known as the Schumann resonance." Yeah, right.

    If one is making the assumption that all of the materials used in hammocks, quilts, etc. are free of outgassing, pesticides, fungicides and other chemicals, I suspect that would be incorrect.

    Actually had a little nap in mine this evening! I have a touch of back trouble and a goodnight's sleep in the ole double nest clears it right up. I've got a set of anchors in my bedroom walls so I can hang anytime i'm hurting...

    I've got an 8" small king TempurPedic mattress here in my RV that I share with my Pug. I sleep as well on that mattress as I do in my hammock. Sooo......hammock schmammock.
