Common Myths and Friction Points

"Is it bad for your back?"

The inverse is true. By eliminating the upward pressure points of a flat mattress and preventing tossing and turning, a flat diagonal lay keeps the spinal column in traction. Many who suffer from chronic lower back fatigue find immediate relief upon removing the mattress entirely.

"How do you sleep on your side?"

In a wide, flat-laying hammock, side sleeping is entirely achievable once the diagonal angle is sufficiently wide. However, most long-term sleepers find that the full-body support reduces the physiological urge to roll over, allowing for uninterrupted back sleeping.
