Best Choice Products Double Hammock with Steel Stand, Indoor Outdoor Brazilian-Style Cotton Bed w/Carrying Bag, 2-Person Capacity - Abyss

Short version: definitely a success. Worth every penny.Long version:After waking up every morning with a stiff lumbar region, despite propping up my legs and using different beds including memory foam, I became desperate for a solution. I considered buying a sleep number bed because I remembered that air mattresses had done decently well for me. The thing is when I sleep on them I deflate them a bit so I can sink in and it kind of cradles me like a hammock. Every air mattress I'd used would either get a leak, or the seam would pop and have a giant weird bubble in the middle of it. The natural progression of thought was why not try sleeping in a hammock?I figured I didn't have much to lose... it's only $50 and I was willing to spend $1000-$1500 on a fancy sleep number bed. My back used to loosen up during the day, but it had been getting worse and it felt like an eternity for it to come in. Free shipping is great, but it took about a week.After reading the reviews, I had high expectations of this (or any) hammock. The promise is the same all the fancy mattress makers promise: a better night's sleep, feeling rested in the morning, falling asleep faster, no back pain. Well on the back pain it definitely delivers. After sleeping on the hammock for a few days, my back improved and now it's like I never had the back problems at all!On the sleep quality that's a bit harder to pin down. It's comfortable as heck, but yet It took some getting used to sleeping in it. I'm used to being horizontal and with a hammock your head is always elevated above your body in a more exaggerated way than a bed and pillow. Further, my legs are above me (which I hear is good for you), but they end up straight with no bend, and I don't like how that feels on my knees. So I just put a pillow underneath my knees in the hammock and that problem was solved. Apart from that, a good but not thick pillow (so it doesn't elevate your head more) on the head is all I needed. I just had to get used to the head position. Also, yes it's wide and yes it can tend to wrap around you, but with pillows in two places it's not a bother to me whatsoever.The first night it took forever to fall asleep. The second and third nights got easier. I just wasn't used to the orientation, I think. But it's been about a week now, and I have been sleeping without my usual sleeping pills, and I have been sometimes waking up earlier on occasions when I otherwise would have kept sleeping. To me, that could be an indication that the sleep quality is better. But I also often still feel tired when my alarm goes off.... like I want to keep sleeping. Maybe it's because it's so comfortable. I do end up waking up as I start my day and feel fine all day, so it's really hard to say for sure.Other advantages of it: it's somewhat portable. Setup was easy. Can't say that about a fancy expensive mattress. I might be moving soon and would like to have as little heavy crap as possible. Also, no sheets to worry about. The frame seems sturdy and when the hammock wears out, so I should be able to just replace it and continue using the frame. Even if I spend $20 per year on a new hammock, there's no comparison between it and a mattress. Heck, by just washing sheets I probably spend $20 per year. I'm not saying I shouldn't wash my hammock, but it's indoors in my bedroom so.... meh.Disadvantages:Well I'm a single guy who lives alone, and women don't like that you sleep in a hammock. They want to cuddle and....other stuff. So I have a bed in the bedroom as well for those scenarios. Generally I don't admit I sleep in the hammock every night until we're getting serious because I think it can be seen as weird by some women. It's pretty long overall so wouldn't fit well in a small bedroom, and I feel you still need a bed in the bedroom too, so you better have a good sized bedroom as I do.A hammock can be difficult to get out of, obviously. I have considered hanging a rope from my ceiling that I can yank on to easily pull myself out of it. But if I did that, women would think I'm nuts, and probably walk out as soon as they see it.

This Best Choice Double Hammock is perfect for anyone looking to add an element of relaxation to their home. This hammock includes everything you will need; the frame, the hammock, and a portable carrying case.PROSThe hammock itself is sturdy enough for you and a friend, holding up to 450 pounds. Additionally, this hammock is weather resistant. The frame is made of all-weather resistant steel, and the hammock itself is made of cotton and dries quickly if left out in the rain. So no need to worry about panicking to store it somewhere when it starts to drizzle out. Feel like you need to wash it? I have thrown it in the washing machine and it worked perfectly. Assembly was also a breeze; you can get this hammock set up in around 5 minutes! You can choose between 7 different fabric designs for this hammock to match the rest of your décor. The fabric is breathable and comfortable, so no need to worry about it being itchy like many others. In select colors you can also include a tray that attaches to the base of the frame. This tray has a built in cup holder to hold your favorite summertime refreshments. If you’re on the go this season, use the included portable carrying case and you can easily bring your hammock to the beach, camping, or anywhere else you might need to find a place to unwind! I have taken this hammock camping and slept overnight in it.CONSThis hammock is extremely comfortable, although the shape of arms holding the ropes does tend to make the hammock close in on you if there is only one person using the product. However, this would not be too bothersome for most people.When it comes down to it, this is the best hammock you can get online for this price. It’ll hold up for multiple seasons, it’s comfortable, and it can help tie together a relaxing backyard atmosphere. I highly recommend this hammock for anyone looking for an economical and portable hammock.

The engineers and designers of this hammock withstand is perfect! First time I've ever seen it done right!

Received the hammock and set it up alone the same day. It was VERY easy to assemble! I have physical disabilities, but was able to assemble this by myself in about 25 mins. It was sturdy and comfortable when I used it.After about 2 weeks, I had a problem with a part on the cloth hammock area. Reached out to the company and they resolved my issue promptly and well! I am very pleased with how they handled the situation! I won't hesitate to purchase from this company again!This hammock is attractive, and stable, and makes you feel like you're back in the womb when you lay in it.I really love the design of this one above others. The way the hammock goes over a bar, then attaches to an upside down hook is excellent engineering on their part. It's a great design for tension and safety.Wonderful value for the price. Also, heavy enough base that it didn't tip over during storm with 40mph winds, but light enough that my 10yo daughter and I can easily each take a side and move it around the yard without any difficulty. That's a big bonus for us!

I loved how this hammock worked perfectly for our fall padio party! Many in our family are over 6 feet and over 300 pounds and they sat in this hammock comfortably. Matched our design perfectly as well.

My entire family, ABSOLUTELY loves this hammock! It’s super comfortable and you’ll fall asleep and feel at peace very quickly! The colors match the pictures on the listing. The metal is nice and thick and I didn’t have any problems putting it together or taking it apart. It comes with a bag for storage so you can take it anywhere you need! I would recommend getting a pad or placing a blanket if you don’t like the breeze coming through the underside of it. Although, if you’re like me, it feels sooo nice! Get it!PSA It is pretty large, so make sure you have a space big enough for it! It’s also not heavy so easy to move.
