Everyone thinks I'm crazy.

Well I been sleeping in a hammock for about 3 years. It started as easy way to sleep while technically homeless and traveling/car camping. Only everyone thought I'd get a bed when I stopped traveling.

I didn't. I still sleep the same hammock I started with in 2014 for hammock camping. Its a walmart equip double nest. I really wish they didn't call it a 2 person. Without further ado here is my daily sleeper. I usually hang both ends on one eye bolt rather than stowing it away since I was gifted a second nicer hammock that I use for camping now.

That certainly makes making your bed a lot easier.

Crazy is as crazy does. Welcome to the loony bin.

I recently reached my 3rd year of full-time sleeping in a hammock at home as well. It must be said, I now dread the bed. My family thinks I'm a bit eccentric in so far as not a single one of them wants to give it a try or have even asked. They're happy. I'm happy. All is good.

For sure. I slept in a bed at a hotel and it felt like I was doing a backbend even though I was flat. It was soooooo weird.

It's not my daily sleeper, but I do keep a hammock hanging in the basement and frequently crash in it if the dogs wake me up early.

People give the strangest looks when I tell them about it, but the dogs always jump in with me and we sleep like babies! They are 7lb poodles so there's plenty of room. I affectionately refer to them as my little side quilts!

Enjoy your setup! I'd have them in our bedroom of my wife would go for it!

When my wife was away on a trip, I covered up the bed and hung up my XLC in the bedroom. Slept that way for 3 straight months. I miss that but my wife wont have that monstrosity strung up across the room (granted the room aint that big) and I dont have a basement....so....shucks....

I sleep in a hammock every night. I started about 2 1/2 years ago. My back and shoulders feel much better!

Well, not exactly everyone thinks you are crazy. I have found that there are two types of crazy people. Those that will try crazy things that others recommend to see if it works better for them, and those that think everyone should fit into the same box and all the same things should work for them. I prefer to be the crazy person that steps out of the box.
