Not with the WB. I found that the foot end needs to be higher than what I normally set on my Dutchware. I think it's because you lay closer to the head end of the WB than in other gathered end hammocks. Honestly, I've never had back issues...it's always calf ridge with me, but that's a setup issue.
My early setup issues with WB hammocks was I didn't properly read WB suggestion:
I just did 16" higher foot end on the tree when I set up, not when I was in it. Once I raised a few more inches, I found that flat lay and got rid of the calf ridge.Hang the hammock so that “once occupied” the foot end is about 16″ higher than the head end, and by “end” I mean the end of the fabric, not the attachment point on the tree itself.
Look at the photo of the actual ends of the hammock...foot end is significantly higher: https://www.warbonnetoutdoors.com/hammocks-101/
