Hammocks are becoming part of more people’s everyday lives.

In North America, there are an estimated 22% of the adult population as active hammock users (both commercial and homemade hammocks), while more than 8% have their own unit but seldom use the device more frequently.

In South America, where hammocks were believed to have originated, more people are adept in using homemade hammocks, while some are beginning to appreciate the trouble-free use of factory manufactured hammocks with its own stands.

Some of those that are not fully satisfied in using this kind of equipment might be the results of uneven balancing of tension on the fabric bed (it’s either too saggy or too tight).

Some were not aware of the availability of commercial combo hammocks (also known as free-standing hammocks) that are more convenient and easy to use. Others do not use hammock accessories, such as a pillow, to make them more comfortable.
