Anyone else lay the "wrong" direction in WBBB?

For those that lay lefty in a righty, or vice versa, do you seem cramped against the shelf at all? I'm planning on setting mine up this weekend, so I'll give it a shot, but I'm curious on the consensus.

The shelf is really close to your face but it´s depending on if you have anything in it.

I also had som problems getting comfortable laying to the right in my bb.

Now I´ve ordered a mirror XLC(custom 1.9SL multicam lefty)

Can´t wait to not have the shelf in my face while laying to the left and getting to use the footbox

My foot end is always a few inches higher, I have no clue what it could be.. I'm going to see if I can afford an XLC and see which I like better and sell the other.

Shug- I knew you layed lefty, I was hoping there was a few more of us haha

Marwood- I tried it that way too once for a few minutes and was actually really comfy, never tried it for long though. Let us know how the test hang goes! I might need to set up my blackbird too...

Widdors- I never felt cramped and I had my phone and stuff in the shelf and it wasn't even staked out. In fact I feel like the bugnet gets in my face more when it's not staked out and I lay with my feet the "right" way. Test it out!

Viking- the weird thing is in my other regular gathered end hammock I prefer my feet to the left! So it's not that I just prefer to lay to the left i just seem to get some calf pressure when my feet are in the footbox. I have no clue what it is, I'm hoping the XLC won't give me this problem.

(Not really sure how to do multi quote on tappatalk. If there is a way can someone let me know how???)

I used to have the same problem in a Hennessy Asym. Turns out the problem was how much sag and what angles I had going. Now I find myself able to go either side, and either with or against the Asym direction...though its a longer and flatter bed if I go with the designer's choice.

My advice is to pick up a Snipe. It cures what ails ya.

I'm laying in the blackbird now. Maybe its because I'm 6'2", but I really am only comfortable the "right" direction. Granted, I have a lot of stuff in the shelf, but it is staked out. I just don't feel like there is enough room without my feet in the foot box. I also tried with my had in the foot box, just too much fabric in my face. I'll just count it as lucky that I fit the way Brandon designed it, although I was looking forward to some other options.
