Choosing your hammock is like choosing your favorite place to unwind — each type offers its own experience. So, should you go for a single-size hammock, a double-size hammock, or a chair hammock?

Here’s a simple guide to help you pick the perfect one for your space, lifestyle, and vibe.

Single Hammock: The Suspended Escape 🕊️

Designed for one person, the single-size hammock is surprisingly roomy yet lightweight and portable.

It’s the perfect choice for travelers or anyone who loves to relax outdoors with minimal setup.

Best for:

  • Reading, relaxing, or napping solo
  • In the garden, on a terrace, or in nature
  • Easy to hang between trees or on a stand

Characteristics:

  • Weight capacity: 180 kg
  • Total length: 3.50 m
  • Product Weight: 0.85 kg

💡 Not ideal for small balconies, as it needs some space in length.

Double Hammock: The Ultimate Comfort ☀️

Spacious and cozy, the double-size hammock is pure indulgence.

It’s the best option for one person who loves extra space, but it can also fit two people comfortably for shared relaxation.

Best for:

  • Maximum comfort and stability, lounging diagonally for full support
  • Solo relaxation or moments together
  • Spacious outdoor areas, between trees, or on a hammock stand

Characteristics:

  • Weight capacity: 200 kg
  • Total length: 3.95 m
  • Product Weight: 1.2 kg

👉 Perfect if you want a roomy, cloud-like experience.

Chair Hammock: A Cozy Nest for Small Spaces 🌸 

The chair hammock offers a seated or semi-reclined position and attaches from two points for more stability.

It’s your personal cocoon for reading, meditating, or simply slowing down.

Best for:

  • Reading, meditating, or working calmly
  • Balconies, patios, or indoor corners
  • Adding a cozy bohemian touch to your decor

Characteristics:

  • Weight capacity: 160 kg
  • Total length: 2 m
  • Product Weight: 0.80 kg

💡 The chair hammock is ideal for compact areas
