Will you be knocking up a double version of this for the marital bed or is the Mrs in favour of something a bit more plush?

The mrs prefers her hammock than the floor mate

 

[GGTBod]

Clearly she is a classy lassy, did you both have a great day yesterday?

 

[mr dazzler]

That v form is great, like a park bench almost. Do you get a bit of a sprung effect from the thin saplings?

 

[Man of Tanith]

Yeah we had an awesome day thank you.

Yup the springy boughs help immensely

Nice idea for the bed! One important hint is to use only dry materials for the bed (i.e. no fresh conifer branches). We tested it a few years ago, and while few beds are as comfortable as a well build fresh spruce bough bed, it is colder than one using only dry materials.

Must have missed this first time around. Looks like a very comfy set up, not seen the sloping logs idea before. Looks very practical, shall have to give it a bash one day.

 

[kimbo]

Excellent, simply excellent. I too am a side sleeper and hate mats or hammocks.

Many thanks
