OK, this is simply a new thread stemming from some questions raised in another thread where fiveonomo is having to switch from a WB RR bridge to some other hammock due to inability to sleep on his side. A couple of other folks chimed in to voice the same problem. This caused Outandback to chime in saying he was confused, he thought the whole idea of bridge hammocks was so people could side sleep without problems.
All of that caused me to come in and say I was confused, because I thougt all of the folks who did not quite like a BMBH were tickled with all aspects of the RR in comparison to the BMBH including side sleeping, except me. Because I had some issues, kind of significant at first, with side sleeping in the WBRR, though it was improving last time I tried it.
So this makes me want to ask: Is there a difference when side sleeping with legs straight to the advantage of the BMBH and/or gathered ends vs the WBRR? I'm not talking about fetal position. I don't think any of these bridge hammocks are very good for that, just OK at best. Because not enough room to pull my knees up very far, this might vary with how long oyur legs are. I'm talking about with slight fetal or legs straight, which for me has always been one of the original JRB BMBH, and to a lessor degree the BMBH UL's strong points. I've spent many night very comfy on my side in these hammocks. I have copied the applicable posts on the subject of side sleeping below:
