Types of Hammocks
The double fabric hammock is a generic term that covers hammocks that are made with primarily a single type of material, or a light material blend. In our instance, we’re talking about our double cotton free-standing hammocks we’ve reviewed, more specifically the Brazilian hammock. 
These hammocks usually come with stands that are easily put together with a series of nuts, bolts and poles, usually with very little equipment or tools needed. They can also be hung between two trees, poles, from the ceiling or attached to sturdy walls. They’re backyard hammocks, meaning they are setup and left alone, not easy to cart around too much as they can be pretty heavy. These styles of hammocks can definitely raise in the price ranges, but you’re also able to find them mildly inexpensive, or at least in the mid-range of a set budget. 
The camping hammock is our second style of hammock we’ll be reviewing. These camping hammocks are sometimes referred to as parachute hammocks, as these are made of the same or similar nylon material blends and also fold up quite small, just like a parachute. Camping hammocks are best hung with straps or ropes between two poles or trees. They can be hung from the ceiling, walls and on a stand, but the length of the hammock bed plus the length of the ropes is designed to go between two evenly spaced trees. 
Camping hammocks are very convenient in many ways, though they aren’t cushioned like backyard hammocks. Accessories can also be purchased to make them more comfortable. They’re very lightweight (usually under two pounds), require very little tools or supplies, are easily cleaned and stored, and can be less expensive than backyard hammocks.
Things to Consider
When choosing a hammock, some very important things come to mind. Here are the key factors that you should always take into consideration before making your purchase.
Budget
First, you’ll want to set your price range. You will be able to get a quality hammock without spending an exorbitant amount of money. While the term “you get what you pay for” is absolutely true, make sure you set your budget before you shop around, so you don’t splurge on something that you really don’t need.
Function
Next, it’s important to decide the function of the hammock. Do you want to just laze away in the backyard, or do you want to be able to pick it up and go elsewhere if the mood strikes you? Backyard hammocks with stands aren’t going to give you the mobility you’re looking for, and camping hammocks require a little bit of strategic maneuvering in order to set them up. 
Weight and weight capacity
This leads us to our next key factor: weight. The backyard hammocks we’ve reviewed are all less than 40 pounds to carry around. Camping hammocks can mostly be packed in their sacks with their required tools for less than three pounds in total. Also, how much weight should your double hammock be able to hold? If there’ll always be two people laying in it, you want to make sure your hammock can withstand a certain threshold. The hammocks we’ve looked at can easily hold 400 pounds, sometimes more. 
Comfort
Comfort is very important when it comes to a piece of furniture. You don’t want to purchase furniture just to despise lounging or sitting on it. If you’re not an adventurer or outdoorsy person, you probably don’t want a camping hammock. And if you don’t want to be stuck in one place all the time, the backyard probably isn’t for you. Either option is completely fine, just make sure you do your research with this criteria in mind and think of just how comfortable you need your hammock to be.
Warranty and Customer Service
Lastly, this is something that’s important to me, but maybe not to everyone – customer service. When you’ve done your homework, set your budget, researched the right hammock for you and you’re still not happy… you should have no trouble continuing your relationship with the company you purchased from. I want to know that my warranty comes with very little (if any) small print, and that the company will keep its promises when it says there is a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Conclusion
This question is just a little difficult for one reason: we’re comparing two different types of hammocks. Though the backyard hammocks are awfully similar and vary mostly in price and warranty, the camping hammocks have different stories and offer slightly more or less, depending on the brand. Because camping hammocks offer more variety and variability in function, I think any of these will be your best bet to suit your specific needs. Most of these brands are affordable, quality-driven, and have reasonable warranties to give you that peace of mind, just in case you’re not completely satisfied with your purchase.

SPECS
- Warranty – 100% satisfaction guaranteed
- Weight – 1.5 pounds
- Height – 10 feet by 6.5 feet
- Material – 210T Nylon Parachute
Winner Outfitters is a little bit different from the other hammock companies we’ve seen so far. This is a large international company that has proven itself to its customers over and over. It has a large footprint in the camping gear arena, and will most likely stay that way. The consumer reviews honestly speak for themselves. They’re largely impressive for being able to offer incredibly fast refunds within 5 hours, reliable customer service 24 hours and 7 days a week, and hassle-free returns for all of their products. Being international, they’re also able to easily ship just about anywhere. This double hammock holds up to 500 pounds and weighs in at a pound and a half as well. All equipment needed to hang your hammock is included in the purchase, and they’re able to say it will take less than 3 minutes to successfully pitch your hammock. Its measurements are almost 10 feet by 6.5 feet in width. This hammock is definitely one of the most affordable and durable on our list, making it our Editor’s Choice.
Pros
- Durable
- Affordable
- Super fast refunds
- Straps included
Cons
- Can’t think of any! Even if there is a flaw, or you just don’t like it, they will replace the product or refund your money, no questions asked
2. Runner Up – Bear Butt Double Parachute Camping Hammock
SPECS
- Warranty – Their Forever Promise is to replace or refund any product for any reason, for any person
- Weight – 1.5 pounds with gear included
- Height – 10’ by 6’
- Material – 75D Nylon Taffeta
Bear Butt not only has a cute name as a brand, but a cute story too! This company was started in the garage of a new couple’s parent’s house and hasn’t stopped growing since. Looking for consistency with their growing family, they saw the need for quality, affordable, homegrown camping gear, and their dream took flight. Their honest policy and trustworthy brand make the perfect scenario. This is an extra-strong hammock made with nylon that they say legally holds up to 500 pounds, but has been tested way beyond that mark at being able to withstand a whopping 900 pounds… It’s amazing! The manufacturer promises if at any point you’re not happy with the product, you’ll get your money back for as long as you own the product.
Pros
- Extra durable
- Super affordable
- Lightweight even with all the gear
- Awesome guarantee/warranty aka promise
- American startup with honest roots
- Hardware included Lots of color options
Cons
- Some may not like nylon hammocks, particularly if thicker cotton is their preferred fabric
3. Best Cotton – Best Choice Double Hammock
SPECS
- Warranty – 60 Day money back
- Weight – 37 pounds
- Dimensions – 9.5 feet x 4 feet x 3.6 feet
- Material – Cotton and Steel
The hammock bed is 100% woven cotton, making it tight-knit, warm, soft and extremely comfortable. It comes with what they call a space-saving stand made of steel and is easily put together. But the space saving is relative. Make certain to note just how much space you’ll have to spare for hammocks with a stand, because this one takes up over 10 feet by 4 feet when fully assembled and in use. It easily holds two people and is laid in more comfortably that way. It can also hold up to 450 pounds of weight. The stand comes with several poles, nuts and bolts but is simple to put together by yourself. When hammock season is over, you’re able to store away yours in the included carrying case that fits all parts of the stand and the hammock.
Pros
- Aesthetically pleasing
- Decent price
- Sturdy in setup
- Double hammock
Cons
- Heavy
- Cotton will stretch
- Durable so far
4. Best Compact – ENO Eagles Nest Double Hammock
SPECS
- Warranty – The manufacturer offers a two-year warranty for repair, replace, or refund on this product
- Weight – 19 ounces
- Height – 9’ 4” x 6’ 2”
- Material – 70D High Tenacity Nylon Taffeta
ENO is a small company gone big. Coming from grassroots, it has really made its mark in the big hammock game. Known for its quality and excellent customer service, this hammock won’t disappoint. The ENO Double Nest can hold up to 400 pounds in weight and weighs only 19 ounces itself, so it shouldn’t weigh down your pack at all. In the stuff sack, you’re looking at about 5 x 5 inches of space, all sprawled out it’ll take up 9 x 6 feet, not including your strap length. Speaking of straps – one downfall is that ENO doesn’t include the necessary equipment to hang your hammock. You’ll need straps and carabiners at the very least to get it set up. But they do offer numerous accessories to make your hammock even more comfortable, from rain flies to mosquito nets, once you have the complete package you’ll be swinging in style.
Pros
- Durable
- Affordable
- Lightweight
Cons
- Mounting or hanging straps not included, sold separately
- More expensive than similar styles from other brands

The amount of color options you get to choose from is extremely generous, with several striped or basic prints to choose from that should suit your backyard decor. The hammock comes with polyester strings that are more durable than standard cotton, and are sure to last longer if you’re lounging on it with two people. It’s easily adjustable, so you can decide the angle that’s most comfortable for you, and you don’t have to rely on trees to attach the hammock as it comes with a sturdy stand. You’ll be free to position it wherever you choose!

Types of Hammocks
The double fabric hammock is a generic term that covers hammocks that are made with primarily a single type of material, or a light material blend. In our instance, we’re talking about our double cotton free-standing hammocks we’ve reviewed, more specifically the Brazilian hammock. These hammocks usually come with stands that are easily put together with a series of nuts, bolts and poles, usually with very little equipment or tools needed. They can also be hung between two trees, poles, from the ceiling or attached to sturdy walls. They’re backyard hammocks, meaning they are setup and left alone, not easy to cart around too much as they can be pretty heavy. These styles of hammocks can definitely raise in the price ranges, but you’re also able to find them mildly inexpensive, or at least in the mid-range of a set budget.
The camping hammock is our second style of hammock we’ll be reviewing. These camping hammocks are sometimes referred to as parachute hammocks, as these are made of the same or similar nylon material blends and also fold up quite small, just like a parachute. Camping hammocks are best hung with straps or ropes between two poles or trees. They can be hung from the ceiling, walls and on a stand, but the length of the hammock bed plus the length of the ropes is designed to go between two evenly spaced trees.
Camping hammocks are very convenient in many ways, though they aren’t cushioned like backyard hammocks. Accessories can also be purchased to make them more comfortable. They’re very lightweight (usually under two pounds), require very little tools or supplies, are easily cleaned and stored, and can be less expensive than backyard hammocks.
Things to Consider
When choosing a hammock, some very important things come to mind. Here are the key factors that you should always take into consideration before making your purchase.
Budget
First, you’ll want to set your price range. You will be able to get a quality hammock without spending an exorbitant amount of money. While the term “you get what you pay for” is absolutely true, make sure you set your budget before you shop around, so you don’t splurge on something that you really don’t need.
Function
Next, it’s important to decide the function of the hammock. Do you want to just laze away in the backyard, or do you want to be able to pick it up and go elsewhere if the mood strikes you? Backyard hammocks with stands aren’t going to give you the mobility you’re looking for, and camping hammocks require a little bit of strategic maneuvering in order to set them up.
Weight and weight capacity
This leads us to our next key factor: weight. The backyard hammocks we’ve reviewed are all less than 40 pounds to carry around. Camping hammocks can mostly be packed in their sacks with their required tools for less than three pounds in total. Also, how much weight should your double hammock be able to hold? If there’ll always be two people laying in it, you want to make sure your hammock can withstand a certain threshold. The hammocks we’ve looked at can easily hold 400 pounds, sometimes more.
Comfort
Comfort is very important when it comes to a piece of furniture. You don’t want to purchase furniture just to despise lounging or sitting on it. If you’re not an adventurer or outdoorsy person, you probably don’t want a camping hammock. And if you don’t want to be stuck in one place all the time, the backyard probably isn’t for you. Either option is completely fine, just make sure you do your research with this criteria in mind and think of just how comfortable you need your hammock to be.
Warranty and Customer Service
Lastly, this is something that’s important to me, but maybe not to everyone – customer service. When you’ve done your homework, set your budget, researched the right hammock for you and you’re still not happy… you should have no trouble continuing your relationship with the company you purchased from. I want to know that my warranty comes with very little (if any) small print, and that the company will keep its promises when it says there is a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Conclusion
This question is just a little difficult for one reason: we’re comparing two different types of hammocks. Though the backyard hammocks are awfully similar and vary mostly in price and warranty, the camping hammocks have different stories and offer slightly more or less, depending on the brand. Because camping hammocks offer more variety and variability in function, I think any of these will be your best bet to suit your specific needs. Most of these brands are affordable, quality-driven, and have reasonable warranties to give you that peace of mind, just in case you’re not completely satisfied with your purchase.

These styles of hammocks can definitely raise in the price ranges, but you’re also able to find them mildly inexpensive, or at least in the mid-range of a set budget.
The camping hammock is our second style of hammock we’ll be reviewing. These camping hammocks are sometimes referred to as parachute hammocks, as these are made of the same or similar nylon material blends and also fold up quite small, just like a parachute. Camping hammocks are best hung with straps or ropes between two poles or trees. They can be hung from the ceiling, walls and on a stand, but the length of the hammock bed plus the length of the ropes is designed to go between two evenly spaced trees.
Camping hammocks are very convenient in many ways, though they aren’t cushioned like backyard hammocks. Accessories can also be purchased to make them more comfortable. They’re very lightweight (usually under two pounds), require very little tools or supplies, are easily cleaned and stored, and can be less expensive than backyard hammocks.
Things to Consider
When choosing a hammock, some very important things come to mind. Here are the key factors that you should always take into consideration before making your purchase.
Budget
First, you’ll want to set your price range. You will be able to get a quality hammock without spending an exorbitant amount of money. While the term “you get what you pay for” is absolutely true, make sure you set your budget before you shop around, so you don’t splurge on something that you really don’t need.
Function
Next, it’s important to decide the function of the hammock. Do you want to just laze away in the backyard, or do you want to be able to pick it up and go elsewhere if the mood strikes you? Backyard hammocks with stands aren’t going to give you the mobility you’re looking for, and camping hammocks require a little bit of strategic maneuvering in order to set them up.
Weight and weight capacity
This leads us to our next key factor: weight. The backyard hammocks we’ve reviewed are all less than 40 pounds to carry around. Camping hammocks can mostly be packed in their sacks with their required tools for less than three pounds in total. Also, how much weight should your double hammock be able to hold? If there’ll always be two people laying in it, you want to make sure your hammock can withstand a certain threshold. The hammocks we’ve looked at can easily hold 400 pounds, sometimes more.
Comfort
Comfort is very important when it comes to a piece of furniture. You don’t want to purchase furniture just to despise lounging or sitting on it. If you’re not an adventurer or outdoorsy person, you probably don’t want a camping hammock. And if you don’t want to be stuck in one place all the time, the backyard probably isn’t for you. Either option is completely fine, just make sure you do your research with this criteria in mind and think of just how comfortable you need your hammock to be.
Warranty and Customer Service
Lastly, this is something that’s important to me, but maybe not to everyone – customer service. When you’ve done your homework, set your budget, researched the right hammock for you and you’re still not happy… you should have no trouble continuing your relationship with the company you purchased from. I want to know that my warranty comes with very little (if any) small print, and that the company will keep its promises when it says there is a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Conclusion
This question is just a little difficult for one reason: we’re comparing two different types of hammocks. Though the backyard hammocks are awfully similar and vary mostly in price and warranty, the camping hammocks have different stories and offer slightly more or less, depending on the brand. Because camping hammocks offer more variety and variability in function, I think any of these will be your best bet to suit your specific needs. Most of these brands are affordable, quality-driven, and have reasonable warranties to give you that peace of mind, just in case you’re not completely satisfied with your purchase.

Types of Hammocks
The double fabric hammock is a generic term that covers hammocks that are made with primarily a single type of material, or a light material blend. In our instance, we’re talking about our double cotton free-standing hammocks we’ve reviewed, more specifically the Brazilian hammock. These hammocks usually come with stands that are easily put together with a series of nuts, bolts and poles, usually with very little equipment or tools needed. They can also be hung between two trees, poles, from the ceiling or attached to sturdy walls. They’re backyard hammocks, meaning they are setup and left alone, not easy to cart around too much as they can be pretty heavy. These styles of hammocks can definitely raise in the price ranges, but you’re also able to find them mildly inexpensive, or at least in the mid-range of a set budget.
