I have been surprised at how many members sleep the majority of nights in a hammock. Plenty that have never even camped in them.

I had back problems sleeping in a tent with my wrecked back. I was ready to give up camping altogether when a friend suggested a camping hammock. He pointed me to "Just Jeff's" hammock camping page and a local outlet store that had the fabric for $1 per yard. I built my hammock and slept like a rock! 13 years later, I hung at the 2021 Spring MAHHA group event in that very same hammock. I ordered a Dutch Chameleon and winter tarp two days ago. It's great for some, not so much for others... You'll just have to try it and see if it is for you.

I always like going SOBO; somehow, it feels like going downhill.
...and as it harm none, do what ye will.
I’ve been sleeping every night in a hammock for the last 5 years. I always had issues with my back, but I seldom do anymore. Now, when I get back pain, I can almost always point to a certain activity that caused it. Before, I would wake up with a hurt back for no reason that I could explain.
I sleep in a gathered end hammock, either side, on my back, head left or head right..... it doesn’t seem to matter. I wake up refreshed and without pain. The bonus is that when I camp, I have the same setup as I do at home so there is no read adjustment.
My back loves my hammock.
I get my best night's sleep in my WBRR.

I've been lucky enough to never suffer from back problems, but I do get sore hips and shoulders as a side sleeper on the ground using even cushy ground pads. Never anything bad enough to keep me from camping and hiking but noticeable.
When I sleep in my hammock though its like sleeping on a cloud. I actually look forward to nights outside in my hammock when I'm at home in my comfy bed! Nothing beats a good hammock setup for me.
Of course its all personal preference, just have to go and try for yourself.
I am 67 and my back always feel better after a couple of days in one of my hammocks. Unfortunately it rarely feels good enough to be able to put socks on.
I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
My first hammock camping trip I set out for 4 nights with an aching back. By the second night I knew that my hammock effortlessly was able to do what countless chiropractors never could - felt like million bucks!
Same here. I’ve got a couple of bulging discs, facet arthritis, and a little scoliosis, and I was amazed at how much better I felt after sleeping in a hammock. Sleeping in one full time ever since.
