Best Hammock for Sleeping Outdoors: Reviews

Wise Owl Outfitters Camping Hammock

If you need an affordable and comfortable camping hammock for outdoor sleeping, this might just be it. It comes in both a one person and two person model to choose from.

Review

Here you can choose from a single and double model. The single comes in at 9 x 4.5 feet, and the double at 10 x 6.5 feet. It’s definitely roomy enough to rest and sleep in comfort. Although it may be spacious, it’s also portable. It folds down into a small package about as large as an eggplant for easy storage and transportation.

What does stand out is that this hammock weighs just 24 ounces, making it fairly lightweight. This helps make it easy to carry around to your destination, and easy to set up too. Speaking of the setup, it comes complete with straps and carabiners for easy tree mounting.

The hammock itself is made out of nylon. It’s very durable and resistant to ripping and tearing. Keep in mind that the single can hold 400 pounds, and the double 500 pounds. The weight capacity here is indeed quite impressive. On a side note, this unit is machine washable, a big bonus no doubt.

Pros

• Two sizes
• Durable
• High weight capacity
• Easy set up
• Machine washable
• Tree mounting hardware included
• Lightweight and portable

Cons

• Not very breathable
• Can get a bit sticky when wet

G4Free Large Camping Hammock

Here we’ve got a nice two person camping hammock to take a look at. It comes complete with everything one or two people need to sleep outside in comfort.

Review

The G4Free Large Camping Hammock comes in at 9.5 x 4.7 feet. This is technically a two person hammock. That said, if you like having lots of space, then this unit is ideal for one person. It can fit two people just fine, although it might be a bit tight.

What does stand out is how the G4Free Large Camping Hammock is made of 70D nylon. This is high quality parachute fabric that has superior durability and tear resistance. It also has a great weight capacity of 440 pounds. This should indeed be enough for two people.

The fabric itself is also quite soft against the skin, although not overly breathable. Speaking of comfort, here you get an integrated mosquito net to keep those critters at bay. It also features a storage pocket on the side, and comes with all mounting hardware included.

Pros

• Fairly durable
• Enough room for two
• Ideal for one person
• Good weight capacity
• Comfortable fabric
• Tree mounting hardware included
• Mosquito net and storage pouch

Cons

• A bit tight for two large people
• Mosquito netting is a bit fragile

SUNLAX 12 Feet Double Hammock

Here we have a hammock that can be hung between pillars, between trees, or from a stand. It’s a large two person hammock that is designed specifically for comfort.

Review

What stands out about this hammock is how it is made out of a cotton polyester blend. It’s very soft on the skin, yet also breathable and cool. You won’t get too hot when sleeping in this hammock during the summer.

Speaking of comfort, it actually comes with its own pillow included. Moreover, it also features wooden spreader bars at the top and bottom. This helps keep the hammock from caving in on you when you lay down on it. This is something that allows two people to sleep on it without rolling onto each other.

Speaking of the size, this hammock comes in at 75 x 55 inches, which should be large enough for two people. That said, one person will absolutely have enough room on it. In terms of the weight capacity, the Sunlax can hold up to 450 pounds, which is quite impressive.

Keep in mind that this hammock is designed primarily for use with a stand. However, the stand is not included with your purchase. You can also purchase tree hanging gear to hang it from trees as well.

Of course, a stand is ideal, especially if you plan to use this hammock around your property. Having a stand means that you never have to deal with hanging it up.

Pros

• Easy setup (if you have the stand)
• Very comfortable
• Pillow included
• Spreader bars for added stability
• Durable, lightweight, soft, and breathable fabric
• High weight capacity

Cons

• Stand and/or mounting hardware not included

Sorbus® Hammock

Here we have a heavy duty hammock that comes complete with its own stand. This makes it ideal for use around the house, all without ever having to hang or mount it.

Review

This unit comes complete with a nice powder coated steel stand. It’s fairly lightweight and easy to set up as well. You then just hang the hammock from the stand. The stand is also light enough to move around once already set up. The fact that you don’t need to deal with tree hanging is a definite bonus.

The hammock itself is made out of heavy duty cotton. We like this because cotton is soft, breathable, and comfortable to lay on. Moreover, this cotton is also machine washable, another big bonus no doubt. You might also like how there is a pillow included here as well.

For your comfort, the Sorbus also features spreader bars. This helps to prevent the hammock from caving in on you when you lay down in it. The size of the hammock is 75 by 55 inches. It’s definitely large enough for two, or for one person who likes to spread out. The weight capacity on this unit is 450 pounds.

Pros

• Heavy duty cotton
• High weight capacity
• Soft and breathable
• Pillow included
• Spreader bars for stability
• Stand included
• Easy setup
• Quite spacious
• Machine washable

Cons

• Stand takes some time to assemble
• Ropes will start to fray if exposed to too much moisture

KEPEAK Camping Hammock

Here we have a simple, durable, and affordable camping hammock. Whether at home or in the woods, it comes with everything you need to sleep in comfort.

Review

This is a spacious one person hammock, although it does have enough room for two. That said, it’s definitely more than spacious enough for one. What is impressive is the 660 pound weight capacity of the 210T nylon fabric.

This nylon fabric is super durable and resistant to all sorts of damage. That said, nylon is not the most breathable of fabrics, but it is soft and comfortable.

What you may appreciate is the mosquito net that comes included with it. It also comes complete with straps and carabiners for easy mounting on trees. This hammock does fold down into a small package, thus making it very portable.

Pros

• Superior durability
• Great weight capacity
• More than enough space for one
• Lightweight and portable
• Bug net included
• Easy setup – mounting hardware included

Cons

• Not really spacious enough for two
• The mosquito net could be a bit tougher
