Going the hammock route in my van. The thread below has some good mounting points, but now it's time to decide on the hammock itself.

Pretty much all the googles lead me to the Warbonnet Blackbird as the most comfortable for sleeping. It's a bit pricier than entry options, but I don't mind paying a premium for a good night's sleep. Small amount in the context of the full build as well...

Before I pull the trigger, wondering if anyone else sleeps in hammocks and has any feedback/tips/tricks etc?

Thanks

Hammocks and hanging Chairs

Glad it worked and you’re loving it. Digging it up just gives more people a chance to enjoy it. Happy hanging.

I've slept in a hammock most nights for that last 10 - 15 years. I have used the ENO double nest for the last few years. Other than a few loose stitches on the travel sack it's held up incredibly well. I hang with atlas straps.

I'm six foot four so a large hammock is a must. They can get quite cold in the winter if you don't have an under-quilt.

I've never used the warbonnet but it looks like an outdoor hammock with all the bells and whistles. I prefer hyper simple hammocks for indoor use, but would consider this for camping.

I've hung a hammock in my van a few times, but once the cabinetry goes in, there just won't be enough space to use it comfortably. I'll be going with a fixed bed in my van.

Not much else to say about it other than every once in a while I'll get an urge to sleep on my stomach and that's not exactly possible in a hammock

I sleep in a small tent. Stomach, side, back - all good in a tent.....

I've had my Warbonnet Blackbird Traveller XL installed in the van in the early days. The previous poster is spot on pointing out that it is no longer feasible when you start adding fixed cabinetry and such.

This came up recently and I posted some pictures if you care to search for it.

You pitch that tent inside your van? Interesting....

Orton has a tent inside his van trying to stay warm by sleeping in a smaller space.
