    right to left - left to right

    I was reading one of the threads and in it was mentioned the persons' preferred laying positions being right to left. Furthermore, it appeared as if a person could order a hammock (specifically the WB) with the foot box on left or right.

    right to left. How is this determined? On your back with your upper body right of center and feet left.

    If you normally sleep on your right side , would you order a footbox on right or left.

    Or did I miss the boat entirely.

    Right to left, left to right, its all a matter of where you find your "sweet spot". I prefer a right to left lay. I have tried out some truly comfortable hammocks, but the standard left to right lay in most of them just didnt feel right. Right to left isas you said, head right of center, feet left. If you prefer your head right of center, then a lefty is the way to go. Its all a matter of personal preference. HYOH

    Head right, feet left of center line. Yes you can special order a WBBB that is a mirror image of the norm with the sides reversed. I'm a bit of a schizophrenic sleeper. I'm a back sleeper and a side sleeper (both sides) sometimes I like head left/feet right, other times I prefer head right/feet left. And sometimes I like to do a complete 180 in my hammock at night and sleep facing the other direction, placing my head where my feet just were and vice versa.

    Many side sleepers like to face out of the hammock and not into the body of the hammock while they sleep. I say figure out how you like to sleep in a hammock, as it is likely different from the way you like to sleep in a bed and go with that.

    +1 on the changing positions, except that part about switching 180. Other wise I move around. Whatever is comfortable at the time. I wanted a WBBB, but being limited to just one direction changed my mind.

    I'm odd and sleep right down the middle. I wouldn't want to be stuck with a right or left only sleeping.
