Sunnydaze Handwoven XXL Thick Cord Mayan Double Hammock for Outside - 625-Pound Capacity Heavy-Duty Outdoor Hammock - Black/Natural

I did not have great expectations; that opinion changed on arrival. What beautiful colors and strong material. The item was well packed and arrived ahead of schedule. Thanks.

OMG this is huge and it soooo comfortable and strong! Took a while to look around to pick one that would fit for us. I am 6'0 and my wife is 5'7 and we plus 3 kids get into this sometimes. (Our total weight is around 520lbs, we are careful of course, but its night to have the family in the hammock)

Love this hammock! I've been sleeping nightly in hammocks for over 6 years (due to an injury, I can't lay flat. I need an incline for my head). Plus, there are research studies explaining the benefits of genlty rocking for sleep and brain health.I have used many different sypes of hammocks - rip-stop nylon, canvas, and various thicknesses of woven hammocks. Each has its pros and cons. Now, whole cloth hammocks, nylon, canvas, etc are good in that there is very good support and are very durable, but as soon as your weight hits the fabric, the material becomes stiff and loses some comfort factors.The woven hammocks can be woven with either thick or thin cordage. The thick cordage I found to be not very comfortable, while the thinner cordage can be extremely comfortable, as your weight is held by some of the cordage while the other strands not supporting your weight are soft and help distribute weight so there are no hard spots.The downside of cordage is: while together as a whole hammock the strands can hold significant weight, by themselves they can tear easiiy. For instance, I caught my watch on a single strand and it ripped and that eventually lead to the unwinding of my hammock making it useless. Indoors, there are less hazards to ripping a strand but it can still happen.Most folks hang their hammocks outside, so if you hang this hammock anywhere near bushes or any structural hazard and the wind blows the hammock into the hazard, I'd bet that the strands of the hammock would be torn in windy conditions.Now this hammock is the most comfortable hammock I have slept in, but I have to say I am very careful not to get it close to anything that will tear a single strand.

I have been sleeping at night in Mayan hammocks for years now. I wear them out every couple years, but the quality of my sleep and how I feel when I wake up, makes up for replacing them. This is my current bed. It is very comfortable and I have purchased this brand before. This hammock is not family sized, it is a double or matrimonial size. Not a problem because family sized hammocks are huge and a double is the perfect size for me. This is very comfortable. Room to stretch out for side sleep and a little stomach time is pretty good also. Having purchased this in the past, you need to know that the gauge of the string has decreased in thickness since I last purchased one, but the price has remained the same. I am in my 60’s and it is worth the learning curve to begin sleeping in these. I don’t wake up sore as long I have the hang right and the hammock has been woven correctly. My allergy specialist also says these string hammocks won’t harbor dust mites. I have put this up high enough on occasion to fold myself over for a bit of a back stretch. You have to work pretty hard to fall out of a Mayan hammock and you could not convince me sleeping in one with spreader bars is safe. I will purchase this again when I wear through this one. As long as the company maintains the quality and durability, I don’t mind the lighter weight string as long as it lasts me a few years. Just a suggestion for those who take them outside, if you are not using it, get a large S hook, hang it and store it inside. This is a nice piece of furniture and should be treated well. I have included a photo of how mine is stored so I have full use of my room during the day. I may do some macramé along the edges just to dress it up a bit.I do have two cats who want to use this as a scratching post when I am in it. They have been banned from my room when they are inclined to do that. I want it to wear out from ME, not them. Enjoy!

Beautiful hammock, very comfortable and definitely big enough for two adults
