Consider an Indoor Hammock For Your Home

March 12th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

Lots of people think that they don’t have enough room for an indoor hammock, or can’t imagine how a hammock might coordinate with other furnishings in their house or apartment. A hammock isn’t appropriate for all rooms; examples include formal living or dining rooms, and perhaps the kitchen as well . But if you can find space for a small sofa, you have space for hanging an indoor hammock or hammock chair. Let’s look at five reasons you might think about an indoor hammock:

An Indoor Hammock Can Be Used All Year Long
We all know how great hammocks are in the summer. Lying outside, swinging under the summer sun with a slight cooling breeze, refreshment nearby,…ahhhh, the relaxation! But when summer’s gone, your relaxation need not go with it. You can enjoy that same stress-free experience indoors year ’round if you have an indoor hammock.

Hammocks Great for Family Rooms, Bedrooms
A bedroom is a great place for an indoor hammock. In fact, hammocks were originally used as beds in Central and South America, and by sailors at sea. If you use a nautical, tropical or island theme for your bedroom, your hammock can fit right in. An indoor hammock could also be used in your family room or rec room, or on your enclosed porch. Imagine watching your fave DVD movies or listening to your mp3 collection while enjoying your sweet hammock. Snow may pile up to the roof outside, but you won’t care….

Makes a Unique Conversation Piece
How many other people have hammocks indoors to relax in? It’s a unique concept. When your friends visit they may wonder why they didn’t think about a hammock for their place. Hanging a hammock indoors displays your originality and independent spirit. You could start a style trend. Really.

Indoor Hammocks Are Great For Guests
Your indoor hammock makes great extra seating for guests.  It can double as a guest bed if needed. Hammocks can be a fun and funky alternative to a staid twin bed or a sleeper sofa.

You Want To Treat Yourself…
…to the best year round, 24/7 form of relaxation and stress reduction. We understand. So what’s stopping you? Go ahead, buy that indoor hammock!

Any hammock sold on the market can be used indoors. Your personal requirements and size considerations are the only limits. You may find that non-spreader bar hammocks such as the Mayan, Nicaraguan and Brazilian styles use less space.  Fabric hammocks may be best for families with little children as there’s less chances for entanglement. Never allow kids to play by themselves around hammocks. Make sure the hammock and hanging hardware you choose is rated to hold the weight of the person or persons who will use it. An indoor hammock can be suspended from two wall studs or ceiling joists. If your space is exceptionally tight, all is not lost; an indoor hammock chair just needs a good ceiling joist for support. Use a wall stud finder (sold at home improvement stores) to locate the center of the stud or joist and predrill a hole for a large bolt to attach the hammock hanging hardware. Or,if drilling into the walls isn’t feasible, buy a hammock stand to hang the hammock. Always follow the instructions for hanging hammocks that came with your hammock. When finished, take a well-deserved rest in your new indoor hammock.

Hammock swings are a wonderful hybrid invention that’s becoming quite popular. Porch swings are a classic icon of summer. So are hammocks. Therefore it was only a matter of time before someone came up with the great idea to combine these two classics.

Hammock swings combine the full body relaxation of a hammock with the soothing pendulum forth-and-back motion of a porch swing. The result is summer magic. You can find classic-style rope hammock swings that cradle you much like a regular hammock; or hammock swings with cushions for a luxurious and especially relaxing treat.

Hammock swings are made for single persons as well as for two.  They take up less space than a classic hammock; and can be hung on your front porch or from a sturdy tree limb or hammock swing stand. Hammock swings are easy for hammock beginners to use as you get in and out of them just like a regular chair or swing.

If perhaps you thought you didn’t have space for a hammock, or were unsure if you would ever master climbing in or out of a hammock, a hammock swing may finally cure your worries. Hammocks.com is the premier internet retailer of hammocks, and carries a wide selection of hammock swings. Use the search term “hammock swings” and check out their offerings.
