    Anyone else sleep on their stomachs in their hammocks?

    I lay until I am flat on my eno dn on my stomach and sleep like a dream! Anyone else? I was just wondering because I've been told by people that hammocks are not good for stomach sleepers, but it's seriously the only thing that alleviates my back pain and posture problems (not even a memory foam mattress worked)! Am I the only one?

    I wish I could say I do the same. I sleep on my stomach in bed, but I just can't seem to get it to work in a hammock (HH Safari, WBBB, 10' or 11' DIY gathered end).

    I'm glad you got it working for you though!

    Not to worry I guess; I'm always quite comfortable in the hammock (any one of them). I would like the option, but I can sleep soundly without the stomach position.
    It's bad luck to be superstitious.

    Yes, I do. Not the entire night though. I move a lot, stomach sleeping is just one of the ways I end up.

    I personally do not but my wife does and she finds it very comfortable. A lot more comfortable then sleeping on her stomach in a tent on the ground.
    Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.

    Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.

    As others have said I never go to sleep on my stomach but have woke up on my stomach. I wish I could sleep on my stomach as that is how I sleep in a bed.

    No way. But I really can't be comfortable on my stomach in a bed either. In bed or some hammocks I am often on my side and sort of tipped over almost on my stomach, maybe 1/2 way between side and stomach. I could sleep on my stomach in my JRB Bridge if I could find a comfortable place for my arms.

    On my back, side, and stomach it's all good in a hammock.
