    First Night Inside

    Well I'm writing this from my iPad and in my hammock....which is hung up in the bedroom! My wife isn't crazy about it, but my back is happy! Lately when i lay in bed my back always hurts...so tonight I'm trying out switching from a bed to my hammock. Wish me luck!

    Hope the back feels better! Good Idea! If your wife gets too upset just get her a hammock too!

    How did you do? I hope it worked out for you, though, sometimes it can take a few hangs to get one's optimal comfort dialed in.

    It went great! I woke up with no back pain and I slept soundly through the night! I'm traveling this weekend for work and won't be able to go back to the hammock until sunday night...but so far so good one thing I did learn is that a king size comforter doesn't work well on a hammock

    This is probably too late for this time, but for future hotel stays, here's Syb's solution: syb's hotel hang.jpg See his description here: hotel, post #41. Sorry this is late!

    I did think about bringing it.... Sadly this wouldn't have worked in the room I got.
