Symmetrical vs Asymmetrical hammocks
Fixin to buy a DreamHammock
One of choices was? Left lay or right lay, symmetrical or asymmetrical.
Hammock will have a zippered bug net, probably zippers on both sides. Or all sides
Is it better for me to get left lay?
I ordinarily sleep head right, feet left
Is left lay same as asymmetrical?
Would you choose symmetrical or asymmetrical and why.
Thanks for helping me understand meanings of these terms
I’ll be using this hammock for backpacking. Mostly short miles
Thanks

I am a left lay only. The asym typically refers to the bug net. I find that there is less fabric flopping around on my asyms, but have symmetrical setups as well. If you are a gram counter, you save a bit with asym.

I bought a DH Raven symmetrical a couple years ago. I sleep head left 95% of the time but every once in a while have a fitful night where having the ability to switch direction is nice. There's extra fabric on it compared to my BlackBird but I stretch out enough that it isn't in my face and doesn't really bother me. Unless the extra fabric and extra weight are concerns, I would go with symmetrical since it is a little more versatile.
