Jumbo Caribbean Hammock - 55 Inch - Soft-Spun Polyester - Tan

I used to have a HUGE, white, loose weave, heavy duty cotton rope hammock. When it broke, I tried one made of solid fabric & HATED IT! It was taunt & stiff when you laid on it, it didn't conform to your body at all, it was almost impossible to have two people lay on it together, it flipped easily & was SO uncomfortable. Then I found a $100 rope hammock at a local store & bought it thinking it was like my old one. Though it said it was X-large, it was HALF the size & the rope was much thinner & overall cheap feeling. I had to use extra long chain for it to even fit on my big hammock stand.. which looked ridiculous, so I returned it.After that I took my time & read reviews for literally weeks on different brands & styles of hammocks & was leaning towards a Pawleys Presidential Hammock which seemed comparable to my old one. I wanted something nice quality, large enough for two people that would last! Then ironically while on vacation I happened upon an outdoor market that was selling the Caribbean Hammock brand which was a tighter weave than the old rope style hammocks so I actually got to see & feel the difference. I fell in love! They only carried the rainbow colored one so when I came home I immediately looked for them on Amazon & ordered the Jumbo Caribbean Hammock in RED & couldn't be more happy with it! It's vibrantly colored, very soft, conforms to your body & the tighter weave is even nicer than my old one that I thought I loved so much. I like that I can sit sideways on it & swing (sort of like sitting in a chair) with my feet on the ground instead of laying on it long wise all the time. The tight weave has plenty of give & molds to your body yet things don't fall through the holes. It's VERY comfortable! There's plenty of room for two (probably more) people.. though for me (I'm 4'11" 110 lbs) & when anyone else (heavier) gets in it with me I'm slightly less comfortable because they sink in & the ropes become more taunt for me. My husband & I still thoroughly enjoy laying in it together but it's most comfort alone! (much like my waterbed back in the day!)I'm so in love with it I was truly sad to see summer end.. until my teenager said "who said we can't bring it in the house for the winter?!" So we DID!! My kids think I'm the coolest mom ever because what adult would actually put this giant hammock right in their living room & not care what people think!? I thought I loved it outside on a beautiful afternoon.. but crazy or not.. inside cuddled in a blanket with my kindle & a cup of tea while it snows outside is absolute heaven! We can lay in it & snuggle & see the t.v. & it's even promoted my work-a-holic husband to take a nap here & there... This might be the first winter we don't hate!It came well packaged, in perfect condition & there was a long piece of matching red rope tied around it which I tied from the base of my stand to one end of the hammock near the spreader bar which you can pull on to keep you gently swinging. Talk about feeling pampered when it's cold outside!! Look no further, THIS is the hammock you want! Everything about it looks & feels high quality but if something does happen to this one, I will absolutely replace it with the same exact thing!!! It's exceeded my expectations & is worth every penny!

This is the fourth hammock I have owned, the previous three were loose weave. Let me just say, I will never go back. This is soft, tightly woven material but has just enough give, and can accommodate two people. It is densely woven enough that you really can't see through it if looking into the hammock or looking out, really have to peer over the edge to see anything out of it, so it kind of gives you some privacy while lying in it and no elbows or anything else poking through the holes like in a looser woven style so also no weird pattern on the backs of legs if you're wearing shorts. I love the color, even the wood on it looks more expensive and classier than your run of the mill hammock (photos don't do that aspect of it justice); it has a shiny varnished appearance (don't know how that will weather over time but it looks good) and is substantially heavier than other hammocks so the wood is pretty solid rather than just a narrow oak strip with holes in it. I have always enjoyed hammocks but I just want to stay in this one all the time, it's super comfortable. My husband loves it too, first time he tried it out he took a three hour nap in it. It is more expensive than others I have purchased in the past but not considerably so and very well worth it. Have only had it a short while, hope it holds up well but even if it were to wear out or fray or something, especially considering how much it's going to get used, I would still buy another one...I like it THAT much. To anyone who might be on the fence about this item or wondering if it's worth the money I say 'go for it'...I have yet to find something not to like about it. I have read other reviews from people who have used this on a stand so I would like to add that I have mine hung between two trees and can adjust the height of it. I can see how it might be a problem if you couldn't because it does have some give to it and could stretch toward the ground pretty considerably depending on a person's weight. That would be the only caveat I would or could offer up to a potential buyer. I am just really pleased with this hammock and we pretty much wear them out.

Don't think I said enough about how much I love the look, feel and quality of this hammock in my previous review. It's huge and the tight weave and softness of the spun poly is so comfy. Feels secure laying length wise or sitting depth wise. No worries will flip and face plant yourself. I got the Olive color which is really a cheerful inviting bright green exactly as pictured. The dark finished wood cross bar is so nice in contrast to the green color. Hung it at water's edge of my lagoon front property at Martha's Vineyard Mar 21, 2016. Since then it has sustained repeated gale force winds/rain, 19 - 60 degree temps, 2 spring snow storms and some sunny days. Even had a pair of Mallards decide it was a good place to nest til the wind picked up again and they wisely moved on. Rain washed away duck poop ;) no stains, no problems.

Exceeded our expectations. Very soft yet durable. Big enough for two adults to lay in. Great hammock!

We love the style, construction, and color of this hammock so much. Easy to install and very comfortable. The spacer bars at the ends keep it from folding in on itself so you don't get that awkward “cocoon” effect. Unfortunately after six months the weave of the hammock suddenly separated in one spot. We don’t know if something fell on it or what happened. We contacted the seller to ask if the damage could be repaired, and he offered to replace the entire hammock. Totally unexpected superior service. You have to love a seller who completely stands behind their product. Thank you!
