No Lawson thread, but BRCH or Clark?

[JSpaz]

Greetings! I'm looking to grab my first hammock and I'm torn between the two mentioned in the title. I'm a side sleeper for a variety of reasons, if that information is helpful. I've looked into bridge hammocks, and they don't seem to be what I'm looking for. So, is there anyone out there that has tried both the Clark and the Lawson Blue Ridge Camping Hammock that can give some thoughts and advantages/disadvantages of the two? Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

i'd also recommend looking at the 90 degree hammocks as a side sleeper

Amok Draumr and the 90 degree hammock tent.

ps, the lawson is essentially a bridge hammock, and if it appeals, you want to look at the warbonnet ridgerunner

Don't rule out one of the many gathered end hammocks available just b/c you are a slide sleeper. Many of us sleep quite well on our sides in gathered end hammocks.

I have no problem sleeping on my side in a gathered end.

I am in love with the Lawson now. Since it is not a bridge hammock, you can adjust the gathers to suit. I can easily move around as I sleep without waking up to turn over. No more shoulder squeeze and numb fingers from bad circulation! Won't look back.
