how to sleep in a hammock

Can you sleep in a hammock every night instead of a bed?
I do. So do millions of people around the world.
It is so much cheaper than a traditional bed/box-spring setup too.
Lighter too! -- Would you rather move a bed, box-spring, frame etc, or just a sheet with 2 carabiners, 2 Eye Bolts (Lag Threaded), and 2 bits of rope?
Here I show you how to do it comfortably.

@RaeneDay

My problem is trying to keep cool.

Google: Hammock under quilt. You'll get a ton of tutorials on how to make one.

Hope this helps!

LOVE this idea and that u sleep in a hammock! My spouse and I have been discussing hammock options for our house instead of a bed. I have a severe chronic pain condition and I find hammocks the most comfy thing to sleep on :o)

Glad to hear that. If I don't sleep in my hammock I get nasty lower

back pain the next day!

I really Have to sleep in a hammock.

The trick is to find that sweet spot laying diagonally. Took me about

3 nights to get the hang of it. :)

I'm looking for the best way to set up 2 hammocks indoors oje ne t to

the other though.

I not only enjoy sleeping in a hammock I like that I can unhook one end and hook it to the other wall hook which keeps the whole thing in one corner. A shoelace around the middle of the hammock is also hooked on the wall hook and keeps everything off the floor and neat in the corner.

Since I saw this video I have been sleeping every night indoors on a hammock. I do not have any of the pain I used to . It's been two years now.
