Other Hammocks We Tested

Arlmont & Co. Dorinda Double Classic Hammock With Stand The Arlmont & Co. Dorinda Double Classic Hammock With Standwas the lowest-scoring hammock we tested.

Your Questions, Answered

How do you install a hammock? It’s fairly simple to install a hammockbut the method depends on the type of hammock and how it’s designed to be supported. Some hammocks come with a stand, others (such as hammock chairs) should be hung from a ceiling or sturdy branch, and most outdoor hammocks are looped around two trees. A sturdy eye hook is one of the more popular hanging methods, Stephan notes. However, you should always follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Can you use a hammock indoors? Not all hammocks are designed for indoor use, so you’ll have to confirm the style you purchased.

How much should you expect to spend on a hammock? Hammocks can range significantly in price. The products we tested for this story are between $49 and $350 with an average price of $165, though you can also find hammocks on the market that are more expensive. You’ll likely pay more for certain features, such as a hammock made with particularly high-quality fabrics or one that comes with a stand. “It really depends on the functionality, comfort, and durability you’re looking for,” says Stephan. “If you’re looking for an indoor macrame hammock
