Sunnydaze Heavy Duty Double Rope Hammock for Outside, 600 lb Capacity

First of all, I am not, repeat - NOT, one who writes reviews for products. However, with the wonderful customer service I received, I just had to sing the praises about my experience with the company we purchased it from. Been meaning to order another hammock for several summers now and finally got around to doing it! We were looking for one similar to a friend’s weaved hammock that we absolutely loved and this ended up being the closest we could find…not too big a weave that lets elbows, feet or other larger body parts poke through and one that could hold a bit of weight (my hubby is a big 6’ linebacker type guy and I’m definitely not what you would call, “petite”) but without the rough, rope-like feel. Hammock arrived. Unfortunately, there was something a little strange with the weaving…like one strip of it got weaved too tight so it literally felt like you had a perpetual wedgie when you laid down in it. At first we thought we could make do however, the long term wear and tear started to concern me, especially considering that my husband and I aren’t smallish type people, that eventually I decided to call the company to see what we could do to remedy the situation. (I thought maybe soaking it in water and then having my hubby sleep in it overnight to stretch it out would help?) I called during business hours and the customer service rep - not an calling autobot or overseas call in service - kindly listened to my first-world dilemma and offered to ship us out another one, no problem! It had to be shipped out soon after I talked with her because it came within just a few days. So now we have this wonderful hammock that the whole family loves, one that both my husband and I can cuddle up in - without the perpetual wedgie feeling. One side note to all you “Karens” out there or if you’ve never owned a weaved hammock before - give your hammock some time to stretch. We have ours on a stand, outside on our deck. So when you first go to set it up, the chain links may not be long enough at first. We had some extra chain links and carrabeaners (sp?) to get it to initially fit on the hammock stand. When you go to sit/lay on it you may almost end up on the ground (or on the ground/bar like my hubby and I did when we first got in it). I promise you, it will be okay (unless you got one with a wedgie weave, then you may need to call customer service). Just give it a few days….each time you get in the hammock it will stretch, keep shortening the chain link length to your height preference. We’ve had a bit of a crazy year but, I can honestly say, its one of the few things that has given us a reprieve from it all, it’s become one of our favorite places to chill this summer…a happy place!:-)

A hammock is something that you should relax in. This is a very well made hammock with a tight weave so you don't get your hand or foot stuck in it. It's not cotton, so it doesn't stretch too much and it certainly holds 300 lbs without any issue. I do like the color and I didn't think I would at first, but leaving it out all the time, it gets covered with leaves and dropping and they don't stain it at all. It's super comfortable, well made with a nice spreader bars and chains, and did I mention super comfortable? You'll be happy with this hammock. Great for those afternoon quiet times and naps.

I am a big guy 6'2, 282 pounds. I also like antique, vintage, or period correct replicas. This hammock fits that bill. It is so soft, flexible and sturdy, it cradles you as you rock gently in the breeze. Does not pinch or dig into your flesh, and totally comfortable. Has the look of yesteryear, but the strength of modern technology. I am so happy with this product. I planted these 2 Maple trees 30 years ago myself, just for this moment! I am very pleased with my purchase!

Historically, I have bought the cheapest hammock sold. They will fall apart within 1-2 years. I paid almost double for this one and it worth every penny. The ropes are tight, thick, and strong. Instead of wood supports, it is metal. I expect this hammock to go the distance of a whole 4 years.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. The hammock looks great; however, it is all but unusable. I purposely ordered a large 55-inch-wide hammock to enjoy solo as well as with family and friends, but in reality, what I have is a 12-inch-wide hammock. The middle 12 inches of the hammock lengthwise is much more taut then the outer sides of the hammock which means that to use the hammock a person must balance on those middle 12 inches. In the event you are able to get onto the hammock lengthwise which is a conquest in itself, and you allow a foot or hand to drop off that 12-inch space you will immediately be tilted and thrown off the hammock. To lay sideways across the hammock is similar to laying over the back of your couch, your center has a secure place to rest but your arms and legs have nothing to support them. To sit on the hammock, you must carefully back your legs against the hammock, reach behind you and pull the center of the hammock past where your buttocks will land but not too far past or you will end up on the other side of the hammock on the ground. If you are talented enough to sit on just the right area you are good, unless of course you shift slightly in any direction at which point you will without warning slide to the ground. If you are planning to invite someone to join you in the hammock, make sure you both have acrobatic training. I thought maybe the hammock just needed a break in period, but we have been using it best we can for a month with no change and I curse that I did not return it immediately. I have experience with hammocks and would never recommend this hammock.

I researched long and hard to find a hammock that would hold up in the high winds and extreme conditions of the Colorado mountains. This is the one: Synthetic, comfortable, sufficiently webbed so that the wind doesn't rip it off the deck... Absolutely love it. There were two slight drawbacks: One, it took multiple tries to find a big enough stand for this. It is huge, and will sag to the ground in all but the longest of hammock stands. Two--and this is a very minor gripe--but it's quite flat when sufficiently stretched, rather than pouch-shaped, making it a little sketchy to get in and out of when doing so with more than one occupant. I'd gotten a larger size with a generous weight limit hoping for family hammock time, but it is really only practical for one person, two people who are very comfortable with one another, or three acrobats.

Perfect size and color. It’s really comfortable, more so than the more expensive hammock I had in the past. Easy to get in and out of. The grandkids broke it in and it survived!

The quality is top notch and the blue color as no fade at all after 1 season. I've had 2 other hammocks, and this is by far the best. It dries very quickly after a rain and is quite soft to the touch. I'm a big guy weighing in at just short of 300lbs and this works just fine. Setup is easy as long as you have a couple of trees or you want to drop some posts in the ground (use cement) and hang it between them. If you are considering a hammock, this is a good choice.

It’s been outside all last summer and this one. Still looks like new.
