I'm still learning a few things and I thought I would pass them along.
1. even though my feet were higher than my head I still found myself sliding down at night. Last year when I used my friends I did not have this problem. The solution I think is to hang the hammock with more tention. I also tend to think that it depends on your build. I'm fairly stocky from years of lifting weights and playing sports. I think that is why I slide down because I'm broad and thick.
Last year I hung the hammock fairly taught but after being on this forum I thought I would try it with a little more slack.
2. I need a pad or something under me. Last year I slept in colder weather with my winter back and did just fine with just my jacket under me. I used my 20+ bag and tossed and turned with cold spots all night, even with my jacket under me. I want somthing very lightweight. I think I'll go to home depot and see if I can't pick up some of that window reflector stuff. You know, the silver bubble wrap type stuff.
