    i slept in a hammock for a week and now i can't get comfortable in a bed

    Are there some studies that look at hammock sleeping? I know people have slept in the for a looooong time, and many people groups still do (Saw that I'm Cambodia).

    Just curious. I'm considering it, but I too don't want to leave spooning my wife behind.

    When my son-in-law saw our bedless bedroom with two hammocks, he said, "You are the only people I know who would do something like this!" He's 25, and has dozens of crazy friends. Was that a compliment?

    Went thru a bit of a sinus attack last week and spent a few nights on the sofa so others could get some sleep. Almost killed me! Good to be back in the hammock again.
    Most of us end up poorer here but richer for being here. Olddog, Fulltime hammocker, 365 nights a year.

    My standard recommendation:
    Brazilian hammock that is 14'+ in overall length.

    There are lots of designs to choose from, but that is my general suggestion for a home sleeper.

    Lovely Daughter's mother-in-law thinks I'm nuts. Insists she'd fall getting in or out in the middle of the night. I not only don't fall, I also have to duck under Duffy's hammock to get to the door. One of my friends said I'm just the kind of 'funky' person she'd expect this from. Not sure how to take that, so I just said thank you.

    Duffy & I have been married 28 years. Much as I love 'cuddling,' his health and well-being are more important than anything. His GERD was causing sleep deprivation. If you haven't endured that, either for yourself or with someone close to you, you are truly blessed. It makes Life a trial. Since switching to a hammock full-time, Duffy is rested and rejuvenated to an extent we haven't seen in awhile. A healthy husband is worth any sacrifice I have to make.

    I just spent 3 nights on the trail in my HH and slept like a baby. Then I got home to my stupid expensive pillow top memory foam super mattress and immediately got a crick in my neck and a sore back. I hate my bed!!

    For the full time hammock sleepers: how do you do married people things without a bed? Yeah, yeah, I got it: kitchen counter, couch, shower, etc. But for the rest of us normal people whose wives aren't that kinky, how do we solve that issue?
