When on my side in my one wind, I prefer to sleep facing out, rather than facing in. Which means that I THINK I need a symmetrical hammock so that I have the freedom to sleep in any direction I choose and can switch sides of my hammock in the middle of the night.

However, I've never tried an asymmetrical hammock.

What are your thoughts on the issue? Given my circumstances could I get an asymetrical or should I stick with symmetrical?

Thanks.

Based on this description I'd say stick with symmetrical.

Personally, I sleep head right and find that the other direction feels weird and uncomfortable.

People's preferences vary wildly, so go with what works for you.
