I'm in Mosul, Iraq and I decided that I needed a way to relax in this hectic paradise we call a warzone. So I purchased this lovely Aruba Hybrid Hammock,Single, Vanilla Yellow. So, the hammock gets here and I set it up in between the cement walls with some parachute chord. The beautiful Iraqi sun baked my flesh to a healthy crimson hue. The hammock held up wonderfully against, rain, sandstorms, boiling heat and incoming mortars like a champ. Not even the wailing alarms of incoming fire can tear me away from my beautiful, cotton/polyester blend Aruba Hybrid Hammock. I am feeling more relaxed than ever, and I owe it all to my perfectly crafted Aruba Hybrid hammock!

I hung this hammock in my room and LOVE it. Bright, somewhat hideous colors only give the hammock character and make it more awesome. Super comfy, the fabric isn't coarse but is strong. Hammock big enough for 2 but the perfect size for 1. However, it doesn't come with the pillow as pictured. Still worth every cent.

i discovered there are different sizes of hammocks. i have a large stand and this is a tiny hammock.
the colors were pretty. the material was fine. felt like cotton, but it was a mix.
the wooden stretcher was left unstained and unprotected so i imagine it would get a little rough with time.
the stitching was unacceptable. looked like the sewing machine malfunctioned, but the factory worker (hopefully, an adult), just kept on sewing. the seams were jagged and ugly. i think mine was a fluke since no one else has complained about this issue.
i returned mine for a larger hammock in a different brand.

This is the second purchase I have made of this hammock. Earlier in the summer, I purchased the blue to hang outside, and now I bought the yellow which compliments my newly recovered patio furniture. It is comfortable and looks great.

This hammock is definitely cotton, and unlike nylon, which disappears when touched with a lit cigar, this hammock has held up well. The fabric is breathable for all but the hottest days and is best left in the shade if you want it to last more than one season. The spreader bars are stout and work well, the finer weaves of Central America are more comfortable to lay on, but this style is good also. You will find it more stable than the latter for 'newbies' to hammock life. It will require some thought about hanging it and getting the appropriate ropes and hardware if what is provided turns out not to be adequate. This is a single size unit and weight recommendations are to be 'heeded'. Also, if you are the 6'6" or above range I would find a little longer unit. Not recommended for older folks(70-80) and children with sharp instruments. Everyone else should love it. My wife says the colors are great, but I would think that is a subjective consideration.

Very nice. Good strong fabric. Bright colors and comfortable. I have had mine for over a year (I don't leave it out in the weather)and it is still like new.

These hammoks can go for a few hundred dollars a piece. For the money ($50) it is well made and very comfortable and very pretty. I am using it outside (I live in South Florida) so I don't expect it to last more than two years with sun and rain, but for 50 bucks, I will just replace it when necessary.

Piece of ***

It's very comfortable, but a couple of weeks of use started to wear down the ropes, until one of them suddenly snapped!

I was really impressed with the whole process. The hammock was a very affordable price and the quality is really great. Very sturdy. The color was vibrant. I haven't used the hammock yet because I need to buy hooks to connect it to the poles in my yard.

Comfortable like cotton, exactly as the ad portrays it, and looks fabulous in my yard. The product is sturdy and a colorful edition to my yard. I hung it from 2 palm trees and my guests came from Pennsylvania and fell asleep in it. I would buy another for back up or I may have 2, excellent deal for the money. (I have had the pure cotton ones before and they do not hold up in this Florida heat and humidity, they rot fast.)So if you want a great deal for the money, THIS IS IT!!! Have a nice nap and enjoy the tropical breezes in this!!
