VivereDouble Cotton Hammock with Space Saving Steel Stand, Upgraded Polyester End Strings 450 lb Capacity - Premium Carry Bag Included - USA Grown Cotton (Salsa)

I bought the first hammock because of Cami Meegan’s review. I had not used a hammock in decades but hoped that it would help with back aches and joint pains. It does, to a certain extent. After doing my own web research and reading hundreds of reviews of this and other products, I realized that I had bought the best one for my purposes. I use it inside, although I can’t leave it up permanently. Putting the frame together more than a few times made me appreciate its strength and ease of assembly. I ended up buying four hammocks and realized that there was some slight variability in how well the frame pieces fit, so you might try Cami’s WD40 tip if needed.Since there are several types of hammock, some customer complaints seem to be due to choosing this Brazilian style rather than one of the others. Many people did not like the “taco” feeling. I found that the double size let me lie comfortably in different ways, including the recommended way at a slight diagonal. Since I always seem to fall into a recuperative sleep in my hammock whether I intend to or not, it could be in any position which was comfortable at the time.Hammock users have suggested various sorts of covers and liners. I use a thin, soft foam yoga mat and found that it really added to the comfort. One person used a body pillow, which I also tried and compared, but it was too much padding. I haven’t tried the sleeping bag option that many people use for cooler outdoor sleeping, but that seems like a good idea to me. I also use a firmly stuffed rectangular pillow for my head and have had no neck or shoulder aches. A second one under the knees provides that kind of support if needed.A tip that I discovered and haven’t seen elsewhere is to use a trekking pole collapsed to its shortest length as a way to swing the hammock. I usually hold it in my right hand at the edge of the hammock and vertically to the floor. Push straight down strongly. You may have to shift the angle somewhat before you get the hammock to start swinging, but you can really create momentum. With the edge of the hammock supporting your hand, it only takes a slight wrist movement and two fingers to keep it rocking. Or you can use the wrist strap. Must be some law of physics that causes this to happen.From the comments I've read, Vivere really backs up their product and handles any questions a customer might have. So I bought their hammocks with confidence.It’s taken some practice to be able to get in and out of this hammock gracefully, at my age. I haven’t used a hammock to replace a flat mattress and bed but would definitely consider it. It’s great to have the option of extra sleeping accommodation in such a fun package!Additional comments: Six months after writing this review, I am still happily swinging in my Vivere hammocks. There is a lot of hammocking information on the web (theultimatehang.com is a good place to start) and I’m always learning something new. It is important to select the right hammock style for your indoor or outdoor purposes. I don’t often have a problem with the hanging hook rubbing the ropes but if I do I just wrap and tie a bandana around it. The metal inserts inside the rope loop ends may come out and will fit snuggly back in. They should be removed if you wash the hammock bed, I think. They prevent abrasion and I ordered extras via Amazon; not all non-Vivere hammocks come with them. Recently I have been trying different approaches for dealing with the cooling effect on the underside of the hammock with good success. When one is tucked up warmly in one of these hammocks, it is impossible to stay awake!Update 1-25-2023: It's more than five years after buying my first Vivere hammock and I'm still very happy with it and the additional ones I have bought. I use them indoors and find them so comfortable that I cannot stay awake in one. I found a Sunbrella fabric chaise lounge cushion with a headrest and the right thickness which has made my hammocks even more comfortable. And a rectangular pillow can provide support under the knees if needed. It only gets better!

This is one of my favorite purchases I've ever made!I've had the set up in my room, I've had it outside (I would bring the hammock inside at night and leave the stand outside), and I have also packed it up to take on vacation!For the price (select colors), this is an amazing deal! It's super sturdy, easy to assemble, cute colors available, and is super comfortable!No complaints here!

These hammocks are perfect for decks and other spaces where there's nowhere to tie it to a tree or post. The frame is extremely easy to assemble with one person, so sturdy (and I'm a bigger girl so this is my most important concern), and hanging up/taking down thr hammocks is a breeze. The fabric is nice and thick without being stiff or scratchy and is wide enough that you can tuck yourself completely in should you want to. They're very affordable, too, which is awesome; I ended up getting a second one for my back yard so people don't have to fight for the same one any more. I love these hammocks!

This order was created by error when Amazon web crashed during Prime Day. I contacted the seller to return the delivery and he approved the return. After I receive the hammock I realize what a good quality. So we decided to assemble it. It was easy and quick. The frame is very strong and sturdy. The fabric is strong but soft to the touch. The strings are so well done. We are keeping it and getting one more. Very comfortable and cozy.

This is a very well built hammock stand. I was going to use my travel hammock, but the one that came with it is beautiful and comfy.

The only reason I gave it a 4-stars is because this product can not be left outside without possible rust on metal frame or mold on hammock. I would be better if at least the frame was weather resistant.Otherwise great product. My husband is a hefty fella and he loves being able to relax on it rather then just admiring it from a far. Easy to assemble, easy to take town as well. Instructions are clear and simple, also come with extra rubber caps for the ends. Will defiantly recommend and buy additional cotton hammocks to switch between washes. Oh yeah, did I mention it was was safe, hang dry only

Easy to assemble and very comfortable once done. Love the colour and fabric.

組み立て：然程難しくなくサクサクと出来ました。ハンモックを引っかける金具の位置がしっくりこなくて、3回(両方で6箇所)ほど取り付けをやり直しをしました。乗り心地：ハンモック初心者なので酔うかと心配でしたが少しの揺れなので気にならず、熟睡出来ました。寝起きに苦しんでいた腰痛がなかったのに感動しました。思った以上に大きくて場所をとられます。が、今年買って良かったと思える物です。

I love this Hammock. It sets up easily and is very sturdy. We use it all summer and fall. A great product!

組み立ても簡単で、扱いやすいです。

Works as described. Has a carrying bag but I would not describe it as portable. It is sturdy and comfortable to use.
