    Flat base Hammock

    Is there any Hammock produced with a flat base? Something that you can turnover in, lie on you side or climb into a Std sleeping bag...
    Cheers

    Bridge hammocks are designed to be as close to flat as possible. But you can 'turnover in, lie on your side, etc' in even typical gathered end hammocks.

    You'll re-think the sleeping bag when you figure out that the insulation between you and the hammock fabric gets compressed, and is thus much less effective.

    A lot of people report that their comfort level is so high in their hammock that they see no need to roll in their sleep.If I am worn out from a long day in the woods,I don't roll around when I hit the bunk for the night.I go out like a light and wake up the same way I went to sleep.
    Nothing to see here. Keep moving.

    A bridge hammock would be sort-of what your looking for. I've never tried one, but plan on making one some day. I'm extremely comfortable in my gathered end, super sized, DIY hammock and able to roll over in it. Heck my hammock is so wide and long, I could do flips in it, if I were still limber enough
