    Hammock to replace recliner?

    I was thinking of putting up a hammock in my spare TV room. The room is basically like my room to get away from the family for awhile. Nobody else goes in there. Ive had an old recliner in there for years, but was thinking of replacing with a hammock. Id set it up so its perbendicular to the TV....and id just pretty much sit in it like kinda sideways for lack of a better term. Is this the best way to set it up for TV viewing? Or would diagonal or parallel work better?
    Im sure many of you have an inside hammock setup in a TV room...just looking for your thoughts on what works best.

    I put up a Turtle Lady stand in my living room almost three years ago and never looked back.

    The TV is just out of view to the right. I have changed hammocks since this photo was taken but I still use the stand every evening I'm home.

    Many times, I sit in the hammock sideways with my feet resting on an ottoman for reading or using my laptop. This would be a great way to watch TV too. Otherwise, the TV has to be either pretty high up (to see over the edge and your feet) or positioned just right to view between the edge of the hammock by your shoulder and your feet.
