Brazilian hammocks are as large and comfortable as our beds! Amazonas hammocks hang loosely and deep in the center, designed for you to lie diagonally, "the Brazilian way." Your back stays straight and you can lie for hours -- sleeping, relaxing and dreaming in ultimate comfort. Note: hanging system sold separately--a flexible connection such as a carabiner clip, S hook or shackle should be used between the cotton hammock eye and the attachment point to avoid chafing.

Hammock Time is the best time!

15 years ago

I bought this for my wife for our second anniversary. She's always wanted a hammock and esp. so since we just purchased our first house with the perfect set of hammock trees. I, for some reason, missed out on the fact that it didn't come with the gear I needed to start using it right away so i had to go to a near by outdoors store to buy some slap straps and carabiners to start using. My wife and i love relaxing in this hammock for reading and taking long summer naps! Great design, extremely comfortable, easily transportable and easy to store. I highly reccomend keeping it in it's bag when not in use because the cotton is not resistant to anything.

Fantastic Hammock, Ex-Wife Loved it!

13 years ago

I got this hammock when I proposed to my ex-wife. She said yes! Suffice to say, this hammock served her better than me... her and her new husband are very happy with the product! I have seen the hammock hanging in the backyard and it still looks good after 5 years! We bought the Mocha color and it looks absolutely great! Great buy!

Excellent

16 years ago

I just got back from a deployment in afghanistan, where i was living in a minuscule 7x7 room with utterly no storage space. After about 6 months of sleeping on a mattress so old you could roll it up like a sleeping bag (and this was an inner spring mattress) I sent home for my hammock, and strung it up diagonally across the room. I slept in that hammock for 6 months until we came back stateside, and slept incredibly. it even fixed the back pain the old mattress had given me, within a couple nights. Excellent, Excellent product. The only reason it gets a one star shot is because, being cotton, you have to be careful about storage or it will mildew. Also, the sun wreaks havoc on the ink. Be prepared for it to fade heavily if you leave it up outside for too long.

Great for relaxing

This is a great hammock. I use it on a metal hammock frame that I got with a rope style hammock and it fits fine.

Best Hammock Ever!

16 years ago

My ex-girlfriend and I used to share this hammock on camping trips and in our backyard. I was skeptical at first, having been used to the old-school white rope hammocks with the wood crossbars, but after a nap in this bad boy, I was hooked. Even with two people, it is immensely comfortable! Julie took the hammock when we broke up (actually, it was hers anyway), so now I'm getting my own!

Attractive, strong and comfortable

11 years ago

We set this up in the back yard near the sitting area and also brought it with us camping. It is so easy to set up, and I have never had the kids flip out of it, so the design seems to account for that. It is really comfortable and easy to set up. There are very cheap net type hammocks that are good for backpacker/space conscious needs, this isn't that hammock. And it shouldn't be left out indefinately because the cotton will weather and fade, but this was a good choice for tent camping families.

Still comfy for two

16 years ago

I bought this hammock specifically to use when I "popped the question" to my wife. That was over three years ago and it has turned out to be one of the things that stays in the car because we use it so much. It's extremely comfortable and easy to set up. Both my wife and I can nap together in it, although that doesn't say much since neither of us weigh all that much. I've even used it when it's colder than what I would consider "hammock weather". Just throw in some blankets and you're golden. Some of the things to think about though...this is not for backpacking. It's bulky (although it has it's own little storage sack), and weighs quite a bit due to the fact that it's 100% cotton. I've never gotten it wet, but I'm guessing it wouldn't be good for it. Also, when you're hanging it up, make sure you string it up high since the cotton fabric stretches quite a lot over time. I usually hang it at eye level (I'm 6' tall) and after a few hours my wife and I can reach over the side and grab our shoes off the ground. After a few years this thing is still going strong. Some of stitching is getting worn out, but I don't see any problem with it lasting another couple of years.

Comfy but not durable

9 years ago

Over the years I have bought three of these - they don't stand up to UV and after about two years in the sun start tearing easily (which is not a good feeling when you lay in them…)

May result in extreme sleepiness

17 years ago

This hammock rocks! I have it set up between 2 trees behind my house and it the best spot in the neighborhood! I love the fabric as it is soft and colorful. The other nice thing is it kinda envelopes you in a cocoon-like state since the edges wrap around your body and you have some privacy while you snooze or read a book. Definitely a worthwhile purchase!

Great overall hammock. I plan on taking it everywhere. The cotton is soft but you can also feel the durability and strength in the materials. Great design as well.
