    Head left, feet right most of the time. I flop sometimes though, even though my HH is designed head left. It's really just mostly habit now to lay that way initially.

    Straight down the middle as soon as my RR gets here though!

    I have done both but seem to be settling in on head left feet right, though head right feet left seems to wrap the hammock around me more like a cocoon. Both ways are equally comfy for me

    I'm right handed but sleep head to the right. So, I'm not sure if it's a hand dominance thing.

    Before my neck problems I was a stomach sleeper in bed. Now I have to sleep on my back semi propped up. In my BB which is the standard BB with the foot box on the right side I have been able to sleep on my back and on my left or right side. In my DIY's I usually sleep on my back.
    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !

    Head left, feet right in my Hennessy. Slept the first time opposite before I realized it was wrong
