The particular brand I used for a couple of years seems to no longer be in business, but one good option is Mayan hammocks where you sleep perpendicular to how it is hung. Usually they are not fabric, but the threads are thin and close together so I never had a problem with it digging in to my skin even when laying on it directly (I usually layed on a blanket). I did have a problem snagging some of the threads with buttons and such, so I recommend a blanket or sheet even if you don't otherwise need it. Do not use a pillow with that style hammock since it will mess up your back. It took me a couple of months to fully adjust, but after that it was very comfortable. I mostly turned from side to side and sometimes slept on my back that I don't otherwise do. The main challenge I had with it is using it is that in cold weather you need to redo the bankets every night for decent warmth. You can put a second hammock below to hold less compressed blankets for additional warmth; for the coldest weather (I sleep cold and was outside some of the time I used it down to 0 F) diagonal sleeping works best. They take up quite a bit of space, but indoors if you use hooks that are curved enough that it won't come out accidently you can very easily leave it off to the side during the day. Make sure what you attach it to is sufficiently sturdy. Sleeping with someone else in a Mayan hammock seems comfortable when your weights are somewhat close, but with large enough weight difference it doesn't work that well (for me at least, I also move quite a lot at night). Another style of bed that looks really interesting to me is the "floating bed": http://www.floatingbed.com/ http://www.floatingbed.com/ They are rediculously expensive, but I've thought of making one with a trampoline, which would leave more of a dip in the middle like the chimp bed. I haven't actually tried it, though.
