Perhaps you have rotor cuff issues,laying down will certainly promote pain.

Thanks,I've been thinking along the same line,but I don't want permanent attachments in the center of my one big room.Perhaps something removable when the hammocks are not being used.

I haven't hammocked much,but I always take one of my heelers.I don't know about most dogs,but my heelers all want to lay near me if not under me.They don't like to be inside or surrounded by any sort...
