    Backyard Hammock enthusiast from NC. Studying up to maybe taking it into the field.

    Greetings from Cary, NC!

    I enjoy a good catnap while hanging in my backyard. I also enjoy camping. I'm intrigued by hammock camping but I'm a side/stomach sleeper so I've been reading and watching YouTube videos to gain knowledge. Not sure how it happened, but I stumbled onto Shug Emery's YouTube channel and got a wealth of knowledge and bunch of good belly laughs.

    Looking forward to venturing out onto the trail this spring to give hammock camping a go.

    --Todd

    Welcome to HF, Todd. There are some options out there for side sleepers, including commercial and DIY bridge hammocks. You'll find all the information you need and plenty of experience and advice here.

    Welcome to Hammock Forums Todd. Check out the bridge hammocks if you really want a good side lay. I have both and just prefer the bridge for the ease of setup and side sleeping comfort.

    Welcome from northern Arkansas! I'm a side sleeper and stomach sleeper in bed, but find that I snooze great on my back in a hammock, and hurt a lot less! Be sure to try and connect with some locals I. Your area, and that's a great way to try other hammocks and figure out what works for you! Good luck!
