I am always asked "how do I pick just the right hammock for me?" Well, it is not complicated, but it is important to think about the following when choosing your hammock.
First you always want to buy a strong, well constructed hammock from a company that stands behind its products.
Now for the fun part.
You need to answer the 5 basic questions of any good investigation, "Who, What, Where, When and Why.
" First, Who will be using the Hammock? Do I want a 2 person hammock to cuddle up with someone special? Do I want a single size hammock so I can just zone out and forget the world around me? Do I want a family size hammock so we can all relax together, bond and enjoy each others company.
OR, do I want a hammock chair that will not take up as much room and will allow me (or anyone) to curl up with a good book or some calming thoughts and relax.
Second, ask what kind of hammock would I prefer? Do I want a rope hammock that is cool, airy and comfortable and surrounds you like a cocoon, or would you prefer a fabric hammock that is solid and feels more like a bed? Or would you prefer to sit and swing and relax in a hammock chair? Third, where will I use this hammock? Will it be outside all the time or will I be bringing it inside in the winter? Will I hang it in an enclosed area or will it be exposed to the elements? A hammock that will be left out in the elements will last longer and fade less if it is made of a weather resistant material.
Do I want my to be colorful and stand out as part of my decorating? (We have some bright beautiful print or striped hammocks and hammock chairs.
) Or do I want my hammock to be simple and blend into the surroundings? We also have solid color taupe hammocks that will do just that.
Forth, When will I be using my hammock? Do I want a hammock that is lightweight and can travel easily? A camping hammock or a simple rope hammock will work well if you want to bring it along when you travel.
Some of our hammocks even come in their own pouch just meant for traveling.
But if you want a stationary hammock to use around your pool, on your patio, or in your garden, then you might want a hammock with a spreader bar and or a beautiful hammock stand.
Fifth and last but definitely not least you should ask yourself why do I want a hammock.
Actually that should be your first question.
Obviously you want a hammock to help you relax, unwind and get away from the stresses of the day, but really answering this question will help you answer all of the others.
But remember whatever your choice is just sit back andENJOY YOUR HAMMOCK! Hammock Honcho
