Help & Tips

Classic hammocks

1: Where and how can I hang my hammock?

There are several ways to hang a hammock: between two trees, between two walls or between two pillars. You are free to combine different options by hanging it between a tree and a pillar, for example. It is also possible to attach the hammock to the ceiling. It is advisable to check the strength of the support elements chosen beforehand.

If none of these options are available, you can opt for a hammock stand: it adapts to your desires and leaves you free to install it wherever you want.

2: How much space do I need to set up my hammock?

It is essential to check the relationship between the spacing and the height at which the fixing points are located: the suspension height (y) should be approximately halfway between the spacing distance (x). If you increase the spacing between the fixing points, you will of course have to increase the suspension height.

If you followed these instructions correctly, your hammock should naturally have taken on the shape of a banana.

Finally, it is important to check that the hammock can move freely, without rubbing the ground. This will protect it from premature wear and allow you to enjoy your beautiful hammock for much longer!

3: What is the most comfortable position in a hammock?

To fully enjoy the comfort offered by your hammock, choose the diagonal lying position. In this way, the fabric can fully unfold to adapt to your body shape. This position is particularly recommended for the back and relieves the spine, unlike the lengthwise position.

4: Is it possible to wash my hammock?

You can wash your hammock in the washing machine with your eyes closed! Select the delicate fabrics program at 30°. Before washing, assemble all the suspension ropes with a small knot, to avoid any risk of tangling. After washing, we recommend air drying rather than tumble drying.
