i was just curious if anyone has ever done this. i've been curious to replace my bed with a hammock for a while now. from the little bits of information out there, i know that some hammocks are better for beds than others.. mainly ones without stretcher bars.. (like Nicaraguan, Mayan, and Brazilian). but i have yet to find any first hand information. I do realize that if a woman should be sleeping with me, certain activities might be a little cumbersome, but i figure a secondary bed, such as a futon would solve that problem. |

I've considered this, too. I nap in a hammock all the time. There is a whole community of people who bring hammocks hiking/ backpacking with them. I was reading through their forum a while back, and saw most of them ended up converting to a hammock at their home, also. |

i guess i could try it out. the only thing holding me back is money |

If you're worried about back trouble, space your hooks farther apart so that you get a flatter sleeping surface. |

Hammocks are supposedly very good for your back. Less pressure points and all that. If you sleep in it correctly, there won't be any weird pressure on your spine. |

There is definitely a trick to sleeping in a hammock. And all hammocks are not made equal. I've looked into getting a hammock for backpacking/camping, or even making my own. If you want to give the latter a shot, here's a good site with well-laid-out instructions: |

awesome, thank you for the input so far, everyone! |
|
so is it actually better to sleep in a hamock healthwise or not |
