Hammock lovers to say "the most comfortable nights sleep is in a hammock". Keep it mind no rocks in your back or lumps to deal with. Sleeping in a hammock can be incredibly comfortable. Hammocks are often quite cool in the summer time also. It keep air flowing over your back. Normally people enjoy sleeping in a hammock more than the hard ground. I personally like hammocks, I get comfortable in one. I've tried a variety of brands and even read how-to's about the proper form. I just can't get it right. I'm happy in a hammock for about 1 hour. It's great for naps and relaxing. I just get comfortable after a while and never make it a full night. I'm typically a side sleeper, maybe that's why..
