I've been told the "correct" way to sleep in a hammock is crossways rather than lengthwise. This eliminates most of the sag and will keep you from rolling out. Fairly comfortable with both the Ms and I in a large fishnet sorta hammock we tried in a (believe-it-or-not) hammock store last year. As I recall we were a bit deterred by the $250 pricetag tho. . . I'd forgotten about it til this thread, but it would seem to be a reasonably simple DIY project for someone with a sewing machine. Now where's that bolt of rip-stop? ByeBye!
