How to choose an outdoor hammock?

Let's look at the hammock's size, fabric and weight to choose a hammock that suits us best.

1. Size of hammock

Hammocks are generally divided into single hammocks and double hammocks. Double hammocks are more spacious, more comfortable and have more space to use.

Regarding the length of hammocks, the length of hammocks is basically fixed, which is about 2 meters, neither too long nor too short, which can basically meet the needs of most people. If your height is relatively high, then when choosing hammocks, you must choose a hammock that is at least 6cm longer than your height.

2. Fabric of hammock

The hammocks in the market are usually made of cotton, mesh and nylon. Cotton hammocks are the first choice for most people because of their natural and durable advantages, but they are not easy to store, have poor air permeability and have no advantage in weight. Mesh hammock is breathable and easy to dry, but it is easy to pinch the skin, and its comfort is not as good as nylon and cotton. Nylon hammock stands out among the three fabrics because of its portability, high air permeability and comfort, and becomes the first choice for outdoor camping.

3. Weight of hammock

If it is mainly for hiking or leisure, then weight is an important factor, and "lightness" should be listed as the primary condition for you to choose a hammock.

If you are driving by yourself, the first consideration is comfort, and you can ignore the weight. You can carry a hammock with a stand as well as a bigger one. If you bring your own stand, you don't have to find two big trees. You can build a hammock wherever you want.

If it is a professional outdoor overnight camping, it should be considered in combination with portability and functionality. A hammock with mosquito-proof, rain-proof and sun-proof functions is a good partner for outdoor camping and can adapt to various weather changes.
