Still comfy for two

Reviewer Comments: I bought this hammock specifically to use when I “popped the question” to my wife. That was over three years ago and it has turned out to be one of the things that stays in the car because we use it so much. It’s extremely comfortable and easy to set up. Both my wife and I can nap together in it, although that doesn’t say much since neither of us weigh all that much. I’ve even used it when it’s colder than what I would consider “hammock weather”. Just throw in some blankets and you’re golden.

Some of the things to think about though…this is not for backpacking. It’s bulky (although it has it’s own little storage sack), and weighs quite a bit due to the fact that it’s 100% cotton. I’ve never gotten it wet, but I’m guessing it wouldn’t be good for it. Also, when you’re hanging it up, make sure you string it up high since the cotton fabric stretches quite a lot over time. I usually hang it at eye level (I’m 6′ tall) and after a few hours my wife and I can reach over the side and grab our shoes off the ground.

After a few years this thing is still going strong. Some of stitching is getting worn out, but I don’t see any problem with it lasting another couple of years.
