Top 10 Hammocks

This article reviews the top 10 best hammocks you can find online.

Hammocks have been in use for quite some time. The indigenous people of the Caribbean Islands strung nets between trees to maximize air-flow and avoid nocturnal pests. In 1492, Columbus made a note of this habit and took samples of the hammock back to Europe with him, beginning the tradition of their use among sailors. Today, this technology has spread to the back yard and the backcountry, because it’s a great way to relax and makes a convenient, safe bed on the trail. Choosing between the many options available in the online marketplace can present a substantial challenge. So, in order to save you time, energy, and money, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite choices.

1. Vivere Double Cotton Hammock with Stand

This Vivere hammock is woven of 100 percent cotton in vivid, gorgeous hues that are sure to please. Plus, the fabric is durable and strong enough to accommodate many hours of shared naps in the shade. Polyester end strings will last longer than the traditional cotton type and can be appended to any load-bearing upright of your choice. A steel frame that assembles without the need for tools stands in for mature trees, and a carrying bag completes this one of the best hammock options available.
