"Considering an indoor hang? Hammocks hung from wall studs can easily create unsafe lateral loads on the studs, risking damage and injury. Slackening the hammock reduces lateral loads. An app for calculating loads can be found here. The best setups eliminate lateral loads entirely. Here is an example. " -Universe_Man

Bought this to help with my anxiety and depression so I need to give it a cool name. 🌴
I recently bought a hammock from Hamuhk’s online store after coming across its website through a post on this channel. However I have not been able to get in touch with anyone from the store after multiple attempts. I tried their website inquiry, emailing and sending them a message on Facebook. Has anyone run into the same problems getting a hold of them for support?
Looking to get my sister a hammock for her backyard. Needs to have a stand and capabilities of adding a bug net as she lives in Texas and wants to lay in it at night to enjoy the sky but without being harassed by bugs.
I've done some searching and haven't found anything really.
In like 2016, I bought a hammock at Walmart. Not sure the exact brand. It might have been Ozark Trail brand. It was a big, really durable hammock with like a 500lb weight limit and I had it for like 8 years without any significant damage. In 2022, I was at Electric Forest and left it in a tree for others to use while my wife and I went off to another stage. When we got back, it was gone. It was orange and navy blue. I know that specific hammock is gone, but I've never had a hammock of that quality since. That hammock with like $20 at Walmart and even hundred dollar hammocks don't hold up. Does anyone know where I can find another?
Hopefully I’m in the right place to ask this ,
I’m soon to be the proud owner of my first house. Currently our two kids Co-sleep and we’ve done folding hammocks off and on and hammocks are our preferred sleeping situation. I’m hoping to anchor 2-3 hammocks in one bedroom (the bunk room per se) but not sure how to go about it. The other bedroom would be the guest room/playroom/home office. I could anchor to the wall studs but I’m not sure if that would be bad with the amount of hammocks. Should I build a frame to reinforce ? Each adult is about 160-180lbs , two kids 40-70 lbs. There’s potential to put the kids into their own hammocks but then that would be 4. Grownups co-sleep sometimes. The bedroom is 9ft x 9ft. There is another bedroom 17ft x 7ft but the layout isn’t great due to having closets, a bathroom , and a utility door on one side, and an egress window and root cellar access on the other .
I have a hammock from Amazon that is overall great. But it has wooden bars at each end, which have gone black with what I assume is mold over the last few days of rain. While I do leave it out, I put it at an angle so that water will rinse down and not settle, yet this hasn't prevented it. How best can I get rid of the mold deep inside these wood ends, and prevent this from happening in the future?
Thank you!!!
My mom surprised me with a hammock however it seems to be built correctly but you touch the ground trying to get in . I tried the knobs but the height can’t be adjusted except for where the hook is
I got a Kammok Swiftlet as a gift and love it, I’ve been using a Roo Double hammock but I’m wondering if I can also use it in the yard with a rope or quilted hammock with a spreader bar.
Has anyone used a rope hammock or other hammock with a spreader bar on a Swiftlet hammock stand?
I know that Kammock doesn’t recommend it, and their website warns of danger to the arms, but I feel like someone has tried it. Has anyone done it?
Excited to pair these with the rest of my bag. Hoping I feel comfortable enough with tarp length and hammock length... both at 11' Finding a 12' tarp that's not over $300 seems to be impossible Hammock is 11' Circadian Pro
Someone on this form inspired me and I am so happy that I hung this up
I just moved out in August and instead of buying a bed, I bought an IKEA hammock stand. I love it! I hardly ever feel sore after sleeping now- instead I feel rejuvenated. And it's so incredibly cozy. I'm a side sleeper, so having something that actually conforms to my body instead of being a brick I'm trying to conform to is amazing. I also have hyper mobility, so I used to sometimes wake up without feeling in one of my arms or half falling off the bed, and that hasn't happened since! It also keeps me cool in summer. Of course, it also takes up less space! It's honestly amazing, and now it's wild to me that it's not more popular in the US, especially for people with bodily pain and insomnia. My roomates cats also love it when im not home apparently, so cat approved. Just curious is anyone else on reddit is full time?
Hi there, I have a swing set that my daughter has outgrown. I'd love to hang a hammock swing or swings from it. Do I need any special supplies? Does anyone have actual swing suggestions? It's simple and sturdy wood - just like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Dolphin-Playground-Backyard-Outdoor-Accessories/dp/B0BRTXDXNQ/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=32Q17I5EVSDBK&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.SaWKXqns85vkkNc3SzZGtb11_KTDTpgNAtl0E2fPWvNo2rP7-8XG-Zd5KsDirbD69A4YDTEA9eC156V4D0cdSSubykMRjgZlvfP4rR6p3ogeK0xKBp5GjA6BNPOPcKGdjs_Hb9MqZag43QhRnFBGnjTbIy4NGNs5RlWIUvLRqQjvjftRLvETS6xk-2fNprbgTNFeTiIPq0l9gggKrFk9gxhrxwmcmevGYKbZsIQsP9Obw6AS6UR9BoSpTwyHJmXA7avLbu6f_JsASxE10IRoDhISPSXWLIQYuGa9IXBpRtM.YeGk3f7Xqd3o7WhKhvZKaKzqnoi8NibzzOJf5Duebvk&dib_tag=se&keywords=swing+set+wood&qid=1727236758&sprefix=swing+set+woo%2Caps%2C163&sr=8-3-spons&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1
I am thinking about buying a hammock for sleeping.
I will be lying in it sideways so I will utilize the width more than the length. For reference this is my lying position
That being said I have no idea what would be the proper width for my length (1.97m / 6.5ft).
The options are 250/350/400cm or 8.2/11.5/13ft wide; each have a length of 220cm / 7.2ft.
I am also using it to watch tv and look out the windows, so I need to be able to look over the sides. Anybody with experience who can offer some advice?

Hello all, I'm trying to assess whether I should get mercerized or unmercerized cotton for a Mayan hammock that I'll be using as a long-term indoor nightly sleeping hammock. Since I need relief from sleeping very hot and most of the time will have just my bare skin against it, would it make more sense to get mercerized or unmercerized cotton? I find it very confusing trying to determine from conflicting info online which one has better skin feel, softness, comfort, breathability, etc. so I thought I'd ask the redditors here who really know their hammocks.
Thanks much in advance for any feedback / advice!
I have a lot of joint problems from elhers danlos syndrome, so I'm currently looking for a hammock chair for sitting on my porch that provides good back and shoulder support. I'd love any reccomendations of specific products or styles of hammock chairs that I should be looking into.
So I have loved using my hammock on my own for several years. However I have a question. When my guy and I lay in it together, sometimes there is a fabric ‘wall’ that rises up between us. But not every time. Why does this do this and how can we avoid it? My hammock has a single point on each end. We just hammock camped in it for the first time last weekend.
We loved it but this ‘wall’ is uncomfortable. Are we hanging too straight? Only thing I can think of. We like to side sleep and making our angle sharper is what we have done to try to avoid this. I know in the future we may get a different hammock, but just starting out, we are using what we have.
My partner got me a hammock out of the blue and now has to convince me to come inside. I feel like I wasted 37 years of life before. This has been the most comfortable I've ever been.
