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. Although we found installation very easy and thought it was reasonably comfortable, the hammock scored poorly for quality and value. One downside is that the manufacturer’s care label says not to leave it outside, which we thought indicated the product wasn’t weather-friendly, despite being marketed as an outdoor hammock. It’s also heavy and not very portable, meaning it wouldn’t be easy to ta
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.

All you need is a cozy corner” To make the space more inviting and functional, she recommends accessorizing an indoor hammock with pillows, cozy blankets, and a side table. 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.
