Amazon.com Review

Hammocks provide the ultimate relaxation, so let the gentle swinging motion and free-floating midair suspension transport you. Be surrounded in total comfort, taking advantage of that well-deserved moment of respite. This colorful Taino rainbow hammock from Omni/Swings 'N' Things will drain the stress from your body as it adds to the décor of your home. Modeled after the hammocks created by the Taino people of Puerto Rico, this beautiful and well-crafted item has been updated for modern use. Featuring thick cable cotton cord, this hammock measures about 13 feet in length, has a bed size of about 7-1/2 feet, and includes superstrong loops on both ends for easy hanging.

Product Description

The Taino people of Puerto Rico were the true originators of the hammocks in the Western Hemisphere. Our Taino hammocks are direct descendants of the originals, updated for modern use. Made of thicker cable cotton cord, they are the most rugged of all our hammocks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than a Bed, June 20, 2000

Proof positive that you don't have to hanging under a palm tree on a white sandy beach to fully appreciate the hammock experience! These hammocks are perhaps the most blissful place one can rest, and it really doesn't matter whether they are hung between support walls in your living room or strung between two trees in the backyard. I have spent countless hours perfecting my hammock posture and in the course of this perfection have test-driven a whole bunch of hammocks. I can, with absolute certainty, tell you that this hammock is the stuff dreams are made of. It is constructed of a durable and soft cotton that breathes with you and doesn't cause itchiness or that unpleasant "Plastic" feeling. When it is strung up right, you can either lay horizontally or vertically - it matters not because it's amazingly comfortable either way. Some of my most peaceful sleep and dreamiest dreams have come from hammock-induced slumber. I strongly recommend it for any and everyone considering their sleeping alternatives. The hammock isn't banished to the tropics anymore, and in fact looks just great in my Kansas living room. Trust me - get a little tired and get a big ole hammock! This one in partiucular will make your socks roll up and down!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sleep in comfort, October 24, 2001

This review is from: Omni Swings n' Things 550 Taino Rainbow Hammock (Lawn & Patio)

I have been sleeping in hammocks for five years now. I have had problems sleeping in beds for years. Because of my wide shoulders I cannot sleep on my side without "throwing my back out". I had purchased a bed that cost a couple of thousand dollars and when that did not take care of the problem, I did some thinking about how people have slept over the course of human history.

It occured to me that peoples who slept in hammocks seemed to stay with them longer then societies that slept on mats or beds of various kinds. I also found that hammocks seem to have evolved in all of the warm climate areas and since we no longer sleep out doors (not here in Maine anyway), I thought it made some sense to give it a try.

I have been sleeping very comfortably in a "Mayan" style hammock for these five years and needed to replace mine. I bought the "Taino" and found it to be more comfortable to sleep in than the "Mayan" style. It does not sag in the center as much, so that my arms are not pressed up against me, that might be something you would enjoy, but not I. Over time the smaller threads of the "Mayan" style get snagged and broken and repairs can be a little difficult when more then one are broken. Because of my three dogs, I need a hammock that can withstand some abuse (Yes, one of them has learned to sleep in the hammock with me) and the thicker cord is a positive in that respect.

My wife asked me to buy her a new "Taino" hammock to replace hers, so I ordered another one today.

If you are looking for a great nights sleep, this is the hammock I would recommend.

Peace,
James

It was more than I expected. It was easy to hang, looks good, and most of all it is as comfortable as advertised. Too bad I don't have more places to hang more hammocks.
