What Hammock for a side sleeper?

[OldMan]

I am a dedicated side sleeper in bed. I can sleep on either side, and my back some, in my BB. I generally flop around all night, which is a little challenging so far in a hammock, but it is fairly easy to get comfortable.

JRB BMBH works great for side sleeping as long as you dont sleep in the fetal position on your side.

I think most of the wider hammocks can accommodate side sleepers. I do it in my Hennessy and in my home made gathered end hammock. Can't really do it in my Speer.

I can sleep full fetal in my Speer comfortably, but not on my side with my legs straight.

The most perfect side sleeper for me is the JRB BMBH, but ironically, only with legs pretty straight, but NOT for other than slight fetal!

The WB BB and Claytor No Net are also pretty excellent for overall side sleeping, fetal especially. A HH Safari is great for any position, and really my HH Explorer UL is pretty good also.

But the JRB BMBH already mentioned has some pretty unique benefits, like ZERO side torque when on your side with legs straight or mostly straight, and ZERO left calf pressure when on your back. The only other gathered end hammock that can match it ( for me ) in these areas is the HH Safari.

But all of the above will get the job done, side or otherwise. For me anyway.

If you need the knees to your chin then get a WBBB but if you just need a slight bend in 'em then go Bridge baby!

I am a side sleeper and I did not like my DIY bridge in that position. That's only to say _for me_ it just didn't cut it. Get yourself to a group hang and try out the different brands. Most of us will let you crawl into our hammock for a test. Of course, nose clips may be a welcome accessory on your part for some well used and well loved hammock set ups.

I'm a side sleeper on a bed but, in a hammock I sleep mostly on my back. My Warbonnet Blackbird comes in pretty handy for the times I do sleep on my side with the foot-box and all. I also find that I sleep halfway between being on my side and on my back.

That sounds like exactly the same response I would give using my WBBB.

I was able to sleep in my Switchback last night for the first time....I ran through the range of positions....stomach, back, side, fetal, legs crossed...
PLENTY-O-ROOM!!!! I just wish it had been out in the woods instead of in my back yard.....
Soon though, very soon, I will be out amongst the forest dwellers....

Thanks everyone. I leaning towards the BB or the JRB bridge. I'll have to read more specs on both to make a final choice. I'll let everyone know.
