Ol Mike,
There are different types of hammocks. The blackbird allows for a diagonal lay which is very comfortable. However, you are right that people are different. Not to different I hope, my wife just had me pick her up a blackbird. She wants to start backpacking with me again.
Good luck and be comfortable,
Pete
