Have you considered sleeping in a hammock? I've been doing it for years. Hammock+hammock stand was $99 total a few years ago.
Pros:
Cons:
This interests me but I think as an addition to a bed and not a replacement. If I can't sleep on one surface I usually find good luck with another. If Mt bed isn't working I go to my couch, if that isn't it I roll.out.my mat and sleeping bag and sleep on the floor. A hammock seems like a nicer 3rd option that could become a second. In many ways, I'm a cat.
what stand are you using pls? how portable is it, re. taking to conference etc. thanks!!
I use the Vivere hammock stand. It bolts together with bolts with big knobs. It came with a bag. When taken apart it's long, heavy, and awkward to carry, but if you're traveling by car it's fine. I can put it together in under 15 minutes without help.
I really like this idea whenever I move again, though that’s a tough downside for not being able to sleep with a partner.
I’ve already been investigating a hammock setup for backpacking because it has so many upsides compared to a tent
