I know Shug said I lay straight but actually, I lay at a slight diagonal.
It doesn't require as much diagonal, I guess, because I stretch it with a little less sag than normal and because it's a narrower hammock, at 44" wide.
Also, the insulated air matt, lightly inflated, helps.
Because I don't hang with as much sag, stretched a little tighter, I use a fabric with a little higher weight rating, but the only one I had a fabric failure with, was quite a few years and made from an un-named camo fabric from the Walmart dollar bin, many years ago.
I'm pretty sure I made it from that camo, pictured in 2008.

When I do the slight diagonal, I'm flat or very close to it. And yep, I sleep almost as much on my side as I do my back.
Here's another version that flatline, made.
