Customer Reviews

Comfy, colorful hammock
My family and I have owned this hammock for a couple of years and think it's fabulous. The cheerful colors brighten up any backyard or cabin setting and remind me of lazy days spent in the carribean. Without the spreader bar the hammock is less tipsy which is a definite plus in my book. I also really like the fact it's made out of 100% cotton.

What a hammock should be
I'm not an expert on hammocks but I am very pleased with this product. Once you get the hang of it, it's extremely easy to use and supremely comfortable. It's a great place to spend a few hours with a book and a beer on a hot summer afternoon. And the bright colors look great. I'm 5' 11" and weigh about 195 pounds and this hammock can hold me without any problem. Note that you will need to purchase tree straps and karabiners or some other device to fasten this to your favorite uprights. All in all, a very satisfying purchase.

good, but not great
while this hammock is more than adequate, i feel it didn't quite live up to the other glowing reviews it received. the hammock's manufacturer encourages you to go "brazilian style", meaning to lie diagonally across the fabric, instead of lying lengthwise and being swallowed by the cocoon of fabric. But instead of feeling incredibly relaxed, ala being on a beach in Brazil, I end up with a slight neck cramp from trying to keep my body from slipping down to a "normal" hammock position.

Cute and colorful, it's definitely a fine hammock, but I feel there are probably better ones out there.

I also think that hammocks, like shoes, are things that you can't purchase online. You must sit, lie and test to make sure it's the right "fit" for you.
