Would you recommend sleeping in a camping hammock as a normal bed?
I’m about 5′5, 140 pounds if that helps. But I was just wondering if it would be comfortable enough, and not bad on your back. I was planning on getting a camping hammock, not the kind you see on the beach, and putting it on a hammock stand in my room. Thanks.
Ha Ha Ha Ha a cloth hammock will help like a brazillian hammock, but dude, it is fun for about a day or two. you can not roll over, and it will drive you crazy. in the woods in swampy areas, or on a beach near ocean breeze they are great, but in a room, dude, you will be wasting money. Get an air bed, it can be moved quickly if thats why you want it.

sure, why not, in most cases a hammock would be great, the hammock gives in to your weight and forms your your body shape, and it would make cleaning your room a lot easier, just have to vacuum around the stand instead of having to remove an entire bed to get under it.
the only thing is it’s going to be cold if you live in a cold climate, have a draft in your house and you don’t have adequate insulation for your back like a sleeping pad while in the hammock, then you’ll get the chills, but in a proper house or in a warm climate, you should be fine.

about the aches and pains, your body just needs to adjust to the give of the hammock, that’s all, it should only take a week or so for you to adjust, then it’s like sleeping in a bed.
I think it’s something that depends on the person. For some people it works and they find it extremely comfortable, others don’t like them at all. One manufacturer of camping hammocks (also my personal favorite brand of hammocks) has a bunch of testimonials on their website from people who have severe back problems and get great enjoyment and comfort out of their hammocks.

This is anecdotal evidence at best, but maybe it’ll help you decide.
That’s a bit weird! It’d make it hard to bring women home!
i love my camping hammock. but sleeping in it for extended periods does give me some aches here and there. but everyone’s body is different so i guess there is no harm trying it out! just in case – dont throw your bed away!
