    Flip flop usually but lately leaning feet right. For some reason when I feel like side sleeping, laying on my left side makes me have a somewhat sharp pain in my upper back on the left side.

    Both. It's weird but it depends on the hammock I'm in. Each hammock has its own personality and wants to be slept in a certain direction. Who am I to argue?
    ~ All I want is affordable, simple, ultralight luxury. That’s not asking too much is it?

    Well, it is just a way you can see or feel the things!

    I was mostly feet head right/feet left for 7 years until I got a Blackbird this year which defaults to the opposite, and entering from the left.

    I adjusted to that but my right zip sleeping bag became a nightmare to use so I finally caved and ponied up for a UQ/TQ setup. Turned out to be a very expensive change for me.

    You can flip the burnet on the BB to make it a left or right lay or head left or right.
    From Warbonnet website: "Reversible top allows you to remove and “flip the net” to create a mirror-image or “reverse” lay configuration if desired…Head left, Head right, the choice is yours."
    Watch the video below at 1:30 in to see how.

    Head left, feet right for me. Have never wanted to switch.

    Interestingly, I recently found out (through Shug) that many side-sleepers face into the hammock...? I prefer facing out, laying on my left side with my face close to the edge of the hammock. I have not had much of a problem with a bugnet in my face, but the blank wall of hammock fabric if I lay on the other side does bother me. I guess I like to be able to see if Sasquatch is coming.

    HRFL FTW. HLFR is just plain weird and you should be ashamed of yourself.

    Head right, feet left
    With my hammock 12 feet long and 6 feet wide, I sometimes nap in Rodeo Bull rider style
    While laying straight in line with hammock, neither left or right, I put one foot to left and other foot to the right, just as if I’m riding wild bull at rodeo.
    Very comforting during afternoon naps!

    Both. I switch back & forth. I'll lay right in middle for a bit too.
