If you want to take the time to read a book, or just do nothing, grab this hammock. I find it very comfortable to sleep in, and get in and out of. It seems to be made very well, as I have not seen any fraying at this point. I think this is a great buy for those that want to enjoy this summer.

What is over 7 feet long and 12 feet wide with a kaleidoscope of enthralling colors? What allows you to swing so peacefully as to smile sleepily at falling leaves in the Autumn, bundle up and hide in it during furried snowball fights, or invite a friend or two, or even three to relax and celebrate the coming of Spring under the glow of a full moon? Answer: This extremely well built Mayan hammock by the Omni Corporation.

Made of durable Nylon threading, colors re-creating Mexican sunsets, able to hold up to a 1000 pounds of body weight, this is a beauty of a hammock. My sister has one up at her lake cottage and we almost have to take numbers to get a turn in it! Even the animals love it-it has held up to dogs, cats, squirrels, and five rousting male species--all at one time.

This hammock is easy to hose off for cleaning and wears well in all climates. At this bargain price--I just might have to get her another one, for me.

I lived for two years on the Yucatan peninsula and slept in nothing but these hammocks. I personally think that if you sleep in them right they are more comfortable than beds! There's a trick to sleeping or resting in them -- you don't lie in them like a regular hammock (you'd feel like a banana!)... you lie in them diagonally, and if you get it right you won't even need a pillow.

The larger hammocks will let you fit two people comfortably (lying diagonally of course), and they even make good baby swings (wrap the sides up to get some space between the threads, then clasp them up at the top).

I have six hammocks made by the locals in Merida, but if you get one of these you'll not regret it.

I don't actually own this, but our friends in Arizona do and I used it there. This is so comfortable! You can curl up in so many different ways. I would highly recamend this for anyone at all. It is nice used inside or outside. You can read books in this, and ohhhh. . . there are endless ways to use this.

Very comfortable hammock with fine workmanship and vibrant colors. It's worth the money, but it came with no hardware for hanging it. It would have been nice if the hardware was included or if Amazon sells a kit for hanging the hammock, but neither was the case. I had to make a few trips to the hardware store to find the right combination of screws, S-hook, and chains to hang it.

We've had the hammock for a month, now. I hung it between two trees. We use it for relaxing (adults should lie diagonally for the most comfort), and even as a big swing for the kids. We've never tried two adults at a time, but one adult and one kid fit just fine. And, kids can hang onto it easily to be safe while swinging. My daughter loves to pretend she's a butterfly in a chrysalis by wrapping the sides around her. The colors and weave are nice-looking. I'm happy with it!

Got the hammock last week and set it up to try it out as I hadn't used this particular style or brand before. I was very pleased with solid construction and found it very
comfortable to lie in. I am 6'4 and I can relax quite nicely in it. I was a little dubious about the 'rainbow' colors of it but gotta admit, adds a lil festive flavor to the yard. Guess you can call me a 'happy camper' :)

This is one ugly hammock. It was a gift and would not have been my choice. It is large enough to hold two people, which might sound like fun, but you end up practically lying on top of each other because it has no spreaders. You'd be better off spending your money on a different hammock.

VERY COMFORTABLE,NICE PRICE,DOESNT FALL APART LIKE FORIENG JUNK
