If you plan on sleeping under the stars, you’ll need a hammock that can keep the bugs off. This gem from SKL has an attached net that will keep the mosquitos off of you while still allowing for plenty of ventilation and cooling airflow. Plus, the netting won’t obstruct your view of the stars. It’s also easier to set up than some other mosquito net hammocks, so you’ll have less frustration. GET IT HERE.
Do you love handcrafted goods and like to support the artists of the world? Then check out this hammock by Hammocks Rada that is made in Central America. Woven by Mayan artisans, the air flow on this hammock is incredible. You’ll love it if you tend to get hot when you sleep. As long as you adhere to the weight limit of 550 pounds, this hammock is big enough for two. As this only includes the hammock, you’ll need a stand or some mounting gear to put it up. GET IT HERE.
When you want the comfort of a hammock without fully reclining, this Sunnydaze Décor hammock chair might fit the bill. It can support up to 300 pounds, and you can hang it from a beam or branch. If you’d rather, you can purchase a stand separately. GET IT HERE.
