I bought this to relieve back pain
Short version: definitely a success. Worth every penny.Long version:After waking up every morning with a stiff lumbar region, despite propping up my legs and using different beds including memory foam, I became desperate for a solution. I considered buying a sleep number bed because I remembered that air mattresses had done decently well for me. The thing is when I sleep on them I deflate them a bit so I can sink in and it kind of cradles me like a hammock. Every air mattress I’d used would either get a leak, or the seam would pop and have a giant weird bubble in the middle of it. The natural progression of thought was why not try sleeping in a hammock?I figured I didn’t have much to lose… it’s only $50 and I was willing to spend $1000-$1500 on a fancy sleep number bed. My back used to loosen up during the day, but it had been getting worse and it felt like an eternity for it to come in. Free shipping is great, but it took about a week.After reading the reviews, I had high expectations of this (or any) hammock. The promise is the same all the fancy mattress makers promise: a better night’s sleep, feeling rested in the morning, falling asleep faster, no back pain. Well on the back pain it definitely delivers. After sleeping on the hammock for a few days, my back improved and now it’s like I never had the back problems at all!On the sleep quality that’s a bit harder to pin down. It’s comfortable as heck, but yet It took some getting used to sleeping in it. I’m used to being horizontal and with a hammock your head is always elevated above your body in a more exaggerated way than a bed and pillow. Further, my legs are above me (which I hear is good for you), but they end up straight with no bend, and I don’t like how that feels on my knees. So I just put a pillow underneath my knees in the hammock and that problem was solved. Apart from that, a good but not thick pillow (so it doesn’t elevate your head more) on the head is all I needed. I just had to get used to the head position. Also, yes it’s wide and yes it can tend to wrap around you, but with pillows in two places it’s not a bother to me whatsoever.The first night it took forever to fall asleep. The second and third nights got easier. I just wasn’t used to the orientation, I think. But it’s been about a week now, and I have been sleeping without my usual sleeping pills, and I have been sometimes waking up earlier on occasions when I otherwise would have kept sleeping. To me, that could be an indication that the sleep quality is better. But I also often still feel tired when my alarm goes off…. like I want to keep sleeping. Maybe it’s because it’s so comfortable. I do end up waking up as I start my day and feel fine all day, so it’s really hard to say for sure.Other advantages of it: it’s somewhat portable. Setup was easy. Can’t say that about a fancy expensive mattress. I might be moving soon and would like to have as little heavy crap as possible. Also, no sheets to worry about. The frame seems sturdy and when the hammock wears out, so I should be able to just replace it and continue using the frame. Even if I spend $20 per year on a new hammock, there’s no comparison between it and a mattress. Heck, by just washing sheets I probably spend $20 per year. I’m not saying I shouldn’t wash my hammock, but it’s indoors in my bedroom so…. meh.Disadvantages:Well I’m a single guy who lives alone, and women don’t like that you sleep in a hammock. They want to cuddle and….other stuff. So I have a bed in the bedroom as well for those scenarios. Generally I don’t admit I sleep in the hammock every night until we’re getting serious because I think it can be seen as weird by some women. It’s pretty long overall so wouldn’t fit well in a small bedroom, and I feel you still need a bed in the bedroom too, so you better have a good sized bedroom as I do.A hammock can be difficult to get out of, obviously. I have considered hanging a rope from my ceiling that I can yank on to easily pull myself out of it. But if I did that, women would think I’m nuts, and probably walk out as soon as they see it.

Comfortable for One, Limited for Two
This hammock is pretty comfortable overall and works well for relaxing solo. However, despite being advertised as a “double,” it’s really only practical for one adult. A second person can fit, but only if they’re a child or small in size—otherwise it quickly feels cramped and unstable.The steel stand is sturdy and easy to set up, which is a big plus. Durability is just okay: mine ripped after about 3–4 years of light, occasional use. Not terrible, but I had hoped for more longevity.If you’re looking for an affordable, comfortable hammock for one person, this is a solid choice. Just don’t expect it to be a true long-term, two-person solution.

Love it. The frame and the hammock is big and strong for a family of 3.

The hammock and stand are pretty cheap. They work just fine, slight wobble which I dnt a big deal. Comes with a case you can store all the parts in. Delivery was fast and it was double boxed which helped prevent damage. The hammock itself had a strange smell to it that I’m sure will fade in the coming days.
