The best I managed was with a proper sleeping hammock (not one with the evil spreader bars like he has here), and a bunch of blankets curled up into long 'snakes' that I could wrap around my body where necessary. I had an armature with a monitor over the hammock, although a laptop propped up with pillows could probably be done as well.

It was actually a really comfortable setup, which is not what these experiments usually result in for me, but it did take up a ton of space (indoor hammock stands are pretty huge). My favorite bit part is that a sleeping hammock is a pretty nice and dynamic thing to lay in. You can fidget and change positions every few minutes and it will usually reconfigure itself into a somewhat reasonable position. Plus, pop a VR headset on and you have a pretty good spaceship.

I never managed to get properly comfortable in hammocks, always felt like my feet were up too high and the edges were too restricting.

Of course the diagonal orientation is important, but I guess that's probably the first advice you found when trying it out, so I won't repeat it. So, yeah, they aren't necessarily for everyone.
