Im in Texas! 

I thought mold fell under the category of fungus, along with many other varieties 

Are fungus and mold synonymous? Genuinely curious  

How complicated is this? I’m somewhat disabled with chronic illness so weighing the energy I’d be able to put into it 

Mushrooms are not mold though..

I think there is a difference between a mushroom smelling mushroom and a moldy smelling one! 😬

Thanks for your input!!  Very much appreciated 

Ohh thank you for your comment. Probably firm. 5’5””. 145 lb. Side sleeper. Ease of setup is probably one of the most important ones. I’m not good with knots. This would be for nightly sleeping use… I’ll check out that link. Appreciate you helping me think it through 

Why do you think it causes that for you? Do you use any pillows, pads or just the hammock? Thanks 

Helpful realistic advice, thank you 

Wow awesome! Any reason you didn’t stay with it? 

Thanks for your idea based on your experience!! This is all new to me. Ah so you would not leave this out all the time, even with a cover .. good to know. A good consideration as this will be a nightly ritual to see if outdoor sleeping has a positive effect on me 

So then you’d replace the ropes or as you’re saying just needing to adjust them? 

Ohh shoot I am definitely a side sleeper! I need to look into this now that you mentioned it. Why Are people downvoting you? I can’t breathe well and also have nightmares when on my back so I understand 

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. These stories I’m reading of eliminating back pain by sleeping this way are just astounding me 

I’d like to know as well for traveling 

When you say pad, and mat- are those interchangeable or different things? Thanks 

I’ve heard nylon can be more mold resistant? This is a concern for me in humid weather. Yes I want to transition totally. I also want to figure out how to create a black out environment since I’ll have it in my back yard… thanks for your thoughts 

Do you bring just the head pillow with you and not need pillows between legs anymore? I have to use pillows all around me to stabilize so I don’t hyperextend in bed. Does this problem disappear with hammocks? Thanks 

What sort of hammock do you like? Got a link? Thanks! 

Is linen better than cotton?
