Hammocks

Elongated hammock or round Cacoon?

The classic hammock stretches between two points and invites you to lie down. A Cacoon hangs from a single point and creates a more enclosed place to sit or relax. They have very different space and suspension requirements, so start by considering how it will be used, the number of people, and the necessary clearance around the product.

How much space does the entire suspension setup require?

The lying area is only part of the hammock's total length when ropes and suspension are included. For a Cacoon, you need to know both the diameter and the total height. Check all dimensions and the weight capacity, and ensure there is sufficient clearance beneath and around the product. Suspension hardware may be included or sold separately, and the right solution depends on whether the hammock will be attached to a tree, wall, ceiling, or stand.

Can the hammock withstand rain, and how do you care for it?

Cotton feels soft but should generally be protected from prolonged exposure to moisture. Polypropylene and blended materials may be better suited to changing weather conditions without being maintenance-free. Follow the instructions for washing, drying, and storage, and never exceed the weight capacity. Also see our guide to choosing and hanging hammocks.
