hi i have a question for everyone. I can't sleep on my back and was wondering if any one knew of any hammocks that you can sleep on your side in.
Bridge hammocks allow you to somewhat side sleep. You can side sleep in a gathered end hammock if you lie diagonally.

I'm a side/belly sleeper in the bed and had the same concern when picking out my first hammock. Read my "first Hammock Report" about my experience.
Both the Jacks'R'Better Bridge and the Warrbonnet Blackbird are great hammocks.

I have a claytor jungle and I sleep on my side. Too little sag makes it difficult, more sag you can find that flat spot and I get real comfy. I cannot sleep on my left side or my back in a bed, in a hammock I sleep exclusively on my left side and my back.
I side sleep in my Hennessys and my DIY gathered end hammocks. No problemo!
You might discover that you become a back sleeper in the hammock.

I have a HH and sleep on my side all the time
You can sleep on your side in any hammock that you can get comfy in. I'm a dedicated side sleeper and have slept comfortably in an ENO SingleNest, DoubleNest, Speer IIIa and a Warbonnet Blackbird.
I sidesleep in my BlackBird without a problem

Odd, I side sleep in a bed due to a bad shoulder and excessive snoring... In my hammock I sleep on my back and my side...
The trick I've found: TONS of sag. Set your hammock up with a structural ridgeline, and make it way shorter than you think it should be. Try it out, and play with it until you like it.
