The “Lay” of a hammock refers to the position of your body in the hammock. Different hammocks will lay differently depending on shape, size and materials used. The goal here, of course, is to find the most comfortable position possible. To maximize comfort and allow you to get a “good lay”, it’s usually best to lay slightly diagonal or “Asym”.
Right Lay Laying with your head near the left edge of the hammock and your feet near the right edge. |

Left Lay Just the opposite, head right and feet left. |
Choosing right or left lay is mostly a personal preference and there’s no good way to predict which way may be more comfortable for you, but approx 90% of the hammocks we build are right lay. We can build your hammock either Right Lay or Left Lay. Just be sure to indicate your preference on your order.
