Side sleeper in a hammock? (sh.itjust.works)

Hey guys, is it comfortable for a side sleeper to camp in a hammock? I just cannot fall asleep while I’m on my back. Should I stick to my tent?

Whenever I’m just chilling in a hammock I felt that lying on my side took a lot of work and wasn’t very comfortable, but I’m guessing it depends on the hammock.

I've had the same question. I might just need to experiment. A hammock would open a lot more areas for camping

As a hammock camper, I'm curious: what sort of areas would a hammock open to you where you couldn't use a tent?

I have the opposite problem. I'm considering buying a tent so that I could camp in a spot without trees. I prefer a hammock, because they're comfy, but in some areas it just isn't feasible (on a bald, for example).
