A Mexican net hammock has done more for my sleep and my living space than any mattress I ever owned. The woven net cradles the body so contact pressur...

I did this for 2 years.

The blanket in the hammock to keep warm doesn't work very well. It bunches up, you have to wrap yourself and you get tangled in it and your range of motion reduced. Not comfortable at all.

At first I thought I'd found the answer. By the time switched out I hadn't gotten a good night of sleep in probably months, constantly having to be mindful even while sleeping of how I have to lay, what angles I can't use, the swaying. I think I clung to the idea of it longer than I was enjoying it.

I still love hammocks for lounging outside, sitting and cooking outside, usual camping type stuff. Its a nice novelty to have, an extra hang out spot for a guest that gets out of the way when you dont need it. But as a full time bed, its inferior and basically everyone will figure it out if they try it long term. Try it. See if it works. If youre still sleeping in it 3 years later and feeling great, tell me what I need to do right.
