HAMMOCK DIMENSIONS

You’ve probably encountered terms like single hammocks, double hammocks, and family hammocks. These terms are used to distinguish between different hammock sizes, not the number of people the hammock can accommodate. Why? Let us explain.

For optimal comfort, it is crucial to choose the right size hammock. Hammocks come in three main dimensions: 300 x 140 cm, 350 x 160 cm, and 400 x 180 cm. These hammocks are often referred to as single hammocks, double hammocks, and family hammocks, respectively.

WHICH HAMMOCK SIZE SHOULD I CHOOSE?

The wider the hammock, the more comfortable it is. The extra space provides the room you need to stretch out and relax completely. A larger hammock offers more support for your back and neck. If you already have a specific spot in mind where you want to hang your hammock, consider the length of the hammock when making your choice. Also, keep in mind the dimensions of the hammock if you already own a hammock stand.

Single hammocks are the smallest. A single hammock measures 300 cm in length, including the ropes, and 140 cm in width. These hammocks have a load capacity of 120 kg. A single hammock is often used for a child or teenager. The single hammocks from The Relax Company are the Tones hammocks. The Ibiza collection also offers single hammocks; choose the Ibiza 300.

Double hammocks have a medium size, making them the most popular. The dimensions of double hammocks are 350 cm in length and 160 cm in width. These hammocks can hold a maximum load of 160 kg. The double hammocks from The Relax Company are the popular Sounds hammocks. The Ibiza collection is also available in this size; choose the Ibiza 350.

Family hammocks offer the most comfort due to their generous size. They measure 400 cm in length and 180 cm in width. Family hammocks have a load capacity of up to 200 kg. Our tip: for optimal comfort, consider lying in it alone. The family hammocks from The Relax Company are our big favorites, the Stars hammocks. The Ibiza collection is also available in this size; choose the Ibiza 400.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE

When selecting a hammock, consider where you will hang it. Ensure that the distance between your chosen anchor points matches the length of the hammock. If you are using a hammock stand, make sure it is compatible with the hammock’s dimensions.

Material and Durability: The material of the hammock can affect its comfort and durability. Cotton hammocks are soft and comfortable but may not be as durable outdoors. Polyester and nylon hammocks are more resistant to the elements, but less soft.

Load Capacity: Always check the hammock’s load capacity to ensure it can safely support the intended weight. Single hammocks typically support up to 120 kg, double hammocks up to 160 kg, and family hammocks up to 200 kg.

Hammocks offer a unique way to unwind and enjoy the outdoors or create a peaceful indoor retreat. By understanding the different sizes and their benefits, you can select the perfect hammock for your lifestyle.
