    About 8 months now for me. I just have some lag bolt/screws with hooks on them secured into some studs. It's comfortable, and actually helps with my breathing at night according to my CPAP numbers.

    Not me. We have a sleep number bed and I add 4" of memory foam on top. Feel like I'm sleeping in a cloud. A hammock is the next best thing, but I love my bed.

    If I was left to my own devices, I would sleep outside in a hammock every night. That said, I value my marriage more than my desire to "hang." So I will be staying in the bed for a while longer. We do have a very comfortable mattress, though. So I don't feel like I'm losing out too much.

    PM'd you. I use tarps.
    Love is blind. Marriage is an eye opener.

    Tried to convince my wife we should both sleep in hammocks and have a "common area" between us. She did not bite. Even showed her the beautiful array of colors. Still no bite. Wont repeat what she said. 😁

    Started full time last month- feel so much more rested in the morning! I have a fairly small bedroom, so it's nice having some room in there when I hook both ends to the same side. I pretty much had to go corner to corner, so it wouldn't have been near as convenient without 'biners to detach quickly to take to one side.

    I have been in a hammock, outside, full time, for about 3 years. I hang between two pillars of the patio. San Diego's mild weather makes this relatively easy. I have a "permanent" tarp that needs to be replaced about every year due to UV damage. I start with a cheap woven plastic type tarp as the fabric and sew a winter tarp with doors. What I really like about it is how "at home" I feel when backpacking.

    Every night for several years indoors in either a big Brazilian or a cotton t'cloth gathered-end, also a couple ripstop GE's for outdoors & traveling. I have an old spine injury with several fusions, and a big, well-hung hammock is better for me than any bed I've tried. Currently hanging from wall studs, but I want to make some walk-under pipe stands. I have a guest bed and also a few guest hammocks. For guests who try a hammock and end up converts, I help them make their own simple GE to take home. Give a friend a hammock AND teach 'em how (no fish harmed).

    I hang most nights, but occasionally accede to the demands of Cuddlemonster, and sleep in the recliner.
