I’ve been sleeping in a hammock full time for 3 months now, and found myself in a hotel for a night. Instant back pain and lots of waking up to toss and turn all night. Anybody else have this experience of getting conditioned and then being really uncomfortable going back?

I am 183cm, right on the fence of being able to choose the xl for extra room or the regular, however if I am going to be buying the proprietary draumr sleeping pad I want to be able to use it when I use a tent too. If I go for the Xl, which i am inclined to do as I would appreciate the extra space, I am unsure if I will be able to use the 220cm long pad in most smaller tents. From standard tent sizes I believe the pad would be pushing up against the sides of the tent, would this be a problem? (condensation?) .
Anyway, im looking for advice as if I will not be able to use the amok xl sleeping pad in tents (I am still yet to pick and buy a tent along with the investment into the Draumr), then I may have to opt for the smaller one to avoid the additinal cost of buying another sleeping pad for when I go camping with a tent.

Also if anyone knows any somewhat budget friendly, somewhat lightweight 2 person tent that would fit a 220cm long air pad please let me know

Any help appreciated

I’m imaging the type of weave makes a difference, but I’m just trying to get a general consensus I couldn’t find many answers to this when searching

Hi, hammock people!

I have a hammock chair in a little alcove in my bedroom, and I'd like to add some kind of light source that a) is bright enough to read by but also b) is low-key and a attractive and of course also c) doesn't have a cord situation that cramps my hammock style.

Right now I have string lights strung all over the crossbar and the upper ropes -- they're a usb plug, plugged into a power block in a bag hanging on a doorknob nearby (I didn't realize when I bought them that they were usb-plug, not usb-CHARGE, argh), which is ... not great.

I can think of a couple of possibilities, but I'm hoping someone here has already road-tested something smart and pretty. Thanks in advance!

I'm having issues finding nicer free standing hammocks. Maybe something in the $500 to $800 range. Any suggestions?

I bought two hammocks around a year ago for me and my brother. They were a cheap model, (link below) and we only used them to hang out in the woods. Fast forward today and I'd like to actually sleep in them. Problem is that we usually set our hammocks 5-6 feet off the ground for animals and stuff, and I just read some reviews of that model ripping off suddently on people. I weight 85kg and my brother 80, and the hammocks are rated to max 110kg. Moreover I discovered a tiny hole (4mm in diameter) where the butt goes in one of them. Do people break hammocks due to bad usage (focusing all weight in one part)?

Should I go on with these hammocks or I'm better off buying some more durable ones? Any reccomendations too?

This is my first time setting up a hammock here, and I noticed that one side of the hammock's center is higher than the other.

Both ends are tied at the same height.

Hi all,

I am looking to hang a hammock indoors in my living room. I bought the hardware to mount it not realizing Wall 1 & 2 are different and that the hardware I bought was only for installation in wood.

• Wall 1: Regular drywall with studs behind
• Wall 2: I think it is a concrete wall (I am in an apartment building and this is a shared wall with the tenants on the other side). It has no echo when I tap on it and sounds extremely dense.

I bought this mounting hardware because I wanted it to be silent when the hammock is rocking.

My questions:

1. Any suggestions on silent hardware that I can mount on both walls? I've found these, but I am not sure.
2. Will concrete expansion screws be strong enough to support the hammock + person? (I weigh 200lbs for reference)
3. Any tips on installing the mounting hardware? I am new to this and would love some advice!

Thanks!

Hi all, new to the scene but really enjoying it so far! Long story short, I got a cheaper starter hammock on Amazon that had a built in bug net with poles sewn in for support. While not awful, I think I will be returning it as it's not exactly performing like I thought it would.

I figured I would take that opportunity to invest in something that will not only start me on the right track, but that I can also add to over time when ready (i.e. separate bug net, rain fly, etc.)

Problem is, I've seen so many different recommendations, opinions, and why those are both wrong and actually this is better that I'm a bit overwhelmed. I get there are different preferences, but I'm mainly looking for the following:

A comfy but durable camping hammock that I can set up in the backyard or take to the local state park. I'm 6'2, 180 lbs, and won't be sharing it with anyone (as in, I've seen some say the longer the length the better, and most say i.e the Doublenest Eno would be better than the Single for someone my size). As long as I can comfortably read a book, sleep, or swing without too much excess fabric, I'd be happy. I've seen a bunch of recommended brands over Eno, all at varying price points, but I do find I like all of their accessories, including their easy set-up ridgeline, are compatible and work together.

I'd also like to get to the level of knowledge/skill to be able to use a suspension system (I think that's the right term...), rather than tree straps to adjust/dial in my hangs, if that factors into the hammock choice itself.

Any insights or advice would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

So, my holidays are the only moment when I can use my hammock. So probably the next time I'll see her will be June or July 😭.

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 .

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?
