Amok's flat-bed hammock copes with twists and turns

• http://www.gizmag.com, By C.C. Weiss

Hammocks can provide a super-cozy night of sleep far superior to sleeping in a tent on the cold, rocky ground. However, if you're the type that repositions a lot in your sleep, you might find that the cocoon-like space of a hammock restricts, contorts and otherwise makes getting a restful night of shut-eye impossible.

Norwegian start-up Amok Equipment spent much of last year working to solve this problem, and it's nearly ready to release its solution to consumers. The company set out to create a hammock that allows all types of folks to sleep comfortably, whether lying on their backs, sides or stomachs.Though comfy, it's not perfect for everyone. Over the past few years, we've seen a number of tweaks and twists on the classic design, including the Exped Ergo Combi and Hammock Bliss Sky Bed. Amok Equipment presents the latest in its first product – a side-roped hammock that sleeps you flat and lets you sit up.
