    Sleeping on your side???

    How many of you sleep on your side in your hammocks? Those who do, what hammock do you use? I like to sleep on my side, but I find it hard to to sleep on my side in my hammock...

    Thanks!
    Brock!

    If you have a simple gathered end hammock, the sides can squeeze together, making it very uncomfortable to sleep on your side. As for me, I have a Blackbird, and with the side tieouts, I am very comfortable laying on my sides.

    In a bed, I go to sleep on my left side. But I move around at night. However in the WBBB, I just passed out without ever rolling sideways. I guess while backpacking, canoeing, kayacking, you are too tired to notice much.

    I've got Jacks R Better's bridge hammock, and I lay comfortably on my back, side, or stomach. I'd give a bridge hammock a try.

    I can only sleep on my sides or my stomach in a bed. And the same goes for a hammock, and I have a diy gathered end. I have a flat lay and use the squeeze everybody talks about to my benefit for the best comfort. I can even sleep on my stomach in it. You just have to practice and find out what works for you...hyoh!

    It's a hammock thing, you won't understand!

    The wife no longer kicks me out of bed after she saw a hammock hanging in the dog house.

    I'm a side sleeper as well, and have slept pretty well in my WBBB. That foot box really helps stay comfortable on my side.
