The picture included below displays how the traditional Mexican people lay in a hammock. As illustrated in the picture one  way to lay in your hammock is with your body at a 45 degree angle from the tied ends. Doing this will provide you with maxium stability by spreading your weight throughout the hammock. This is important not only for balance but also provides maximum comfort as it allows the hammock to conform to your natural body shape.

Most Westerners picture themselves in a hammock reading a magazine, paper, with a drink or a combination of these. However the traditional Yucatan Mexican’s use their hammocks for so much more. Hammocks are often standard in place of a bed and furniture in many parts of Mexico This could be the answer for you during those warmer summer months. No more night sweats!

At the end of the day, try out a few different positions and see what feels best for you!
