Anyone else like sleeping in "tent hammocks" when camping?

The best part is no back pain in the morning! We're getting too old to sleep on the ground, now.

involve a lot of nights at/above the treeline, so a tent or tarp is more useful. When a trip is entirely in trees it's usually car-camping with my wife - so again, a tent is more fun...
