The hammock is no longer just a symbol of summer relaxation. Today it has evolved into an advanced and versatile piece of gear for camping, the beach, garden, RV, or even van life. It combines comfort with practicality, serving both as a place of leisure and as a complete outdoor shelter solution.
Traditional hammocks – comfort for gardens and beaches
Classic hammocks are made of cotton fabric or woven rope, designed primarily for comfort. Many feature wooden spreader bars to keep the hammock open and are perfect for backyards, patios, and beach setups. They are heavier and bulkier, intended for stationary use rather than travel.

Camping and travel hammocks – portability and technology
The real revolution came with camping hammocks made of parachute ripstop nylon. These are lightweight, durable, quick-drying fabrics that pack down to the size of a grapefruit. Modern travel hammocks are ergonomically designed, often include mosquito nets, and can be paired with tarps and underquilts for full weather protection.

Suspension systems for hammocks
