I use (sparingly) the Lawson and sleeping on back or side are just fine. It's 
all how you pitch it. The tension really matters. Each hammock has a sweet 
spot where the appropriate line tension and angle of body position find total 
comfort. If you find it you'll want to go to bed early. If you don't you'll 
wish you were home. The lawson enables one to pitch it on the ground, should 
trees be absent or improperly spaced. One thing I appreciate about the 
Hennessey is that it is easier to pitch (no poles) and the bottom entry is 
nicer. Weights range from 2 to 3 pounds depending on the version. I'd use 
mine more often if it weighed less than 5 pounds. Still, it's awful nice 
swinging softly in a cool breeze.
