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

Yep , admittedly I haven't tried the diagonal "lay flat type" hammock .
I broke my back about 12 years ago and anything that doesn't keep me 'flat' is not comfy now .
Good for you and the wife -camping is great time spent together !
