Good luck with your project! Post pics.
Like others who have posted, I sleep on my side 100% of the time in bed, but can comfortably sleep on my back in a hammock. In bed, I too wake up with poor breathing if I'm on my back... but not in a hammock. Maybe because my head is slightly elevated...?
But I am also able to comfortably lay on my side in my 10' gathered-end hammock, and that's typically where I end up. Sometimes I end up in kind of a semi-side position, halfway between back and side, that is very comfortable -- and impossible in a bed, or on the ground.
Longer hammocks seem to be better for this, and for a flatter lay in general. That's the key difference between a DIY or small company hammock and an ENO -- they are too short for most people. (I could get pretty comfy in mine, but I'm only 5'9"... totally loving my new 10' DIY hammock, seems so luxurious.)
