Product Description

This portable folding hammock weighs only 20lbs. but can support a 400lb. load! It is very convenient. It is very useful and relaxing to have in the office, in the family room, at a picnic. Give yourself the time to relax and enjoy a moment of peace. It is a great, practical and meaningful gift to someone important that you know. It is easy to adjust every aspect and section of this hammock with the Hamax Tension System. The hammock end is very strong and durable, thanks to the two hi-grade Japanese bearings which allow the hammock to swing effortlessly for as long as you need. The frame for the hammock can be adjusted for everyone in the family, from children to adults.

This "Foldable Hammock" greatly exceeded my expectations! A link to this was posted on an website that I like as joke for people who want to knock off at work, but it seemed like it would be a good gift for my wife (not because she would slack at work, she owns a small business). We live in a very rural area and like to spend time outside at parks and on Appalachian Trail (which runs a few miles from our house) and we usually make a day of it when we head out. This hammock will make these outings much more relaxing. Here are my observations:

Pros:
+ EASY to Setup; just unfold the fully connected frame, select the height and width settings (making sure they match on all sides), and connect the netting
+ High Quality; this is well made and very strong, we loaded it up with 360lbs (two teen aged kids) and it held fine
+ Comfortable; We range from 5'3" to 5"10" and 165lbs to 240lbs - all of us find it comfortable (see picture in "Customer Images"), but vary in ease of getting in\out of it (the kids are much faster)
+ Foldable; the frame folds to about the size of a foldable chair and fits easily into the included sturdy carrying case, while the netting fits into a pocket on the outside of the case

Cons:
- Strong Chemical Smell; the netting came with a strong smell that has significantly dissipated over time, but it took a few days
- No Instructions; not sure if it was just missed on ours, but there were no instructions included at all. As noted above, setup was so easy we didn't need them but care and safety directions would have been nice to have

Misc:
* The protective plastic on the frame was a pain to remove
* The plastic end caps tend to pop out, making it important to check that you have them before packing up

Overall, this is well made and convenient portable hammock that should last a very long time. I will likely like buy at least one more of these now that we know how good they are.

Highly Recommended!

This review is from: High-Grade Foldable Hammock (Black) Folding Hammock with Carrying Bag

High-Grade Foldable Hammock Folding Hammock with easy backpack like carrying-bag.

Reasons to buy:
1. Way Easy- I love that I can put together in 3 minutes the first time w/ no instructions.
2. Comfy- I am a big guy 200+ pounds and it worked for me.
3. Multi-use - I can use it for camping, beach or on my deck at home.

Reasons not to buy:
1. Hate fun
2. Dislike comfort
3. Generally unhappy person who never leaves their house

I really am happy I got this over the other portable hammocks I was considering b/c one was canvas (not breathable) and didn't seem to have the hammock swing I was looking for.

I strongly Recommended!

This review is from: High-Grade Foldable Hammock (Black) Folding Hammock with Carrying Bag

I received my hammock yesterday, so I can only comment on its quality right now, and I do not know how it will age, but so far I am very impressed.

A previous review had stated that this hammock was too short for somebody measuring 5' 8", but I am 5' 9" and heavy-set, and my friend is 6' tall, and both of us were very comfortable in this hammock! (Not at the same time, of course, it being a one-person hammock.) The frame brackets allow for some adjustment to the length and width of the frame. We set it up as large as possible, which makes me wonder if the previous reviewer who found the hammock too small may have just used a closer notch on the brackets and set the frame up to be smaller.

The most difficult part of setting this up for the first time was removing the plastic which came wrapped around the frame, but a pocket knife made short work of that, so even this was really not difficult. Once unwrapped, the frame was so easy to figure out that we put it together intuitively in about one minute.

When packed in its carrying case, it doesn't take up much room, and could easily be set in a corner of a closet somewhere and brought out if company decides to stay the night or if it's needed for a camping trip. In size and shape, it resembles either a very small golf bag or a very elongated tent bag, with carrying straps in the middle of its length. Even once it is set up, it takes up remarkably little space. If space is an issue in the tent we intend to use it in, we could store baggage under the ends of the frame and the hammock would still swing freely.

Speaking of swinging, this hammock swings back and forth very easily! A small nudge will keep it gently moving side to side for some time, and we both found it very relaxing. It was so comfortable that my friend immediately offered to buy it off of me and was considering using it to replace his bed! The way it hugs your body feels snug but has plenty of give, and adjusts to just about any position you can twist yourself into. You would have to work pretty hard at it to fall out of this hammock, so even if you twist around in your sleep it remains very comfortable.

Overall, I am very pleased with this item so far.
