First post! Hi Hammockers, Campers and Tramps - I have a question for ya:

I've been sleeping in a Grand Trunk Parachute Double https://grandtrunk.com/shop/parachute-nylon-hammocks/ and am waking up with some back pain from (what I think is) the curvature of my spine as I sleep. When I first lie down I am VERY comfortable and fall asleep easily, but then wake up with a sore back.

The GT is a 10'6" gathered-end hammock. I try to lie as diagonal as possible but I'm still not FLAT.

Thinking of making the switch to full-time hammocking and upgrading to the BlackBird XLC. Will I achieve a flatter lay in this hammock? It's only 6" longer than the GT.

Also, will my back get used to the curvature, and is this initial soreness normal for a switch to hammocking? If so, is that healthy (over the long term) for my back?)

Thoughts? Thanks guys and girls!
