Hey everyone,
I am wondering if anyone has low back pain while in the hammock. I just got a Dutchware Chameleon in 1.6 Hexon wide. I am 185 pounds and 6 feet tall. I have no experience with Hammocks. I have watched a couple of Shugs videos on set-up.
Here is what I have so far. it's been about 4 nights and I get the same feeling. Lower back is sort of dull pain at around 3-4am. I have been going inside at that point most nights. Last night I switched my lie and shoved a pillow under my low back and that made the pain go away eventually. Pulled the pillow out and stayed sleeping until 7am.
My pillow is a small backpacking pillow with a little foam and an inflatable option. I don't inflate it and I sort of just curl it under my neck. my lay angle doesn't seem that extreme. And I think I need to experiment with a looser ridgeline, it's been pretty tight.
I am curious if maybe the 1.6 Hexon just has too much stretch and I needed a double layer or heavier fabric.
