How to Make the Most of a Hammock
You will soon learn how to use a hammock to get maximum comfort out of it. The beginner tends to lie straight at first try, in the length of the fabric. This, however, bends the back and raises the legs. A diagonal lying position is widely spread and traditional, especially in Brazil.
The body opens the hammock and the back is surprisingly and agreeably straight.
Lying diagonally is only possible in a hammock without spreaders. The back remains straight and the whole body is relaxed.
Lying across a hammock is particularly comfortable in Mexican hammocks, since they stretch very easily.
Lying length-wise will keep sun, wind and insects away from you, but it is not nearly as comfortable as lying diagonally or across a hammock.
