We’ve recently purchased and reviewed the ENO DoubleNest Hammock. This hammock is a compactable, camping hammock, made for one or two people. It is durable, lightweight, and perfect for hiking, camping, and on-the-go outdoor adventuring.
From a small startup started by two brothers in Florida, to now the large Eagle’s Nest Outfitters, Inc company based out of North Carolina promises to give you all of the comfort and quality the outdoors can deliver.
A good hammock such as this one can help improve the quality of sleep you get during any outdoor camping trip or overnight stay. Studies have shown that sleeping in a hammock versus sleeping in a camping bag on the hard ground can help with back pain issues as well as keep you drier throughout the night.

Product Promises and Specifications
If you’re looking for an outdoor, camping hammock this just might be the one for your. It’s advertised to be durable, easily cleaned, and quick drying, all while only weighing a mere 19 ounces. All of these things mean that a camping trip with this hammock will prove to be easier and far more enjoyable. Even if you’re not looking for an outdoor hammock, this one will still hold up to the comfort you may be looking for. Able to hold one or two people, and be hung in several methods, this hammock is more versatile than a patio or poolside hammock.
The ENO Doublenest only weighs nine ounces all packaged in its 5×5 inch carrying bag that will clip to your backpack and barely add any noticeable weight. Unrolled and stretched out the hammock bed is over 9×6 feet, giving you plenty of room to stretch out by yourself or with a hammock buddy.
The hammock is made what the manufacturer calls “Trustworthy Material” consisting of 70D High Tenacity Nylon Taffeta. This material blend creates a durable, easy to maintain, breathable, quick-dry, comfortable bed perfect for a couple hours or days out in wild. The hammock is rated up to 400 pounds of combined weight, meaning that it can easily fit one large person or two smaller ones.
This hammock doesn’t come with mounting or hanging gear, and the suspension straps will have to be purchased separately. If a stand is purchased, it will have to be larger than a nine foot stand as this hammock is over nine feet long.
The manufacturer offers a two year warranty for repair, replace, or refund on this product.
