Return To Hammocks Article Archive   Search the Article Archives Outdoor Hammocks - Camping Benefits and Styles By Kristy Snow Outdoor hammocks have a traditional way of bringing us closer to nature. Invented by the Mayans, they have existed for thousands of years. Camping Hammocks are lighter than carrying a tent and foam pad. They take a lot less time to set up as well. It only takes a few minutes to tie the hammock to a tree. You can put your camp just about anywhere. You don't need to find a flat spot that doesn't have rocks or bumps. No need to worry about a full campsite either. The comfort is superb. It's good enough that a lot of people are replacing their home bed with a hammock. You get gentle soothing movement not available in a regular bed. In addition, hammocks don't have the pressure points that a regular bed has. This means less tossing and turning. In fact, most people sleep longer when they use a hammock. Styles The most popular style is a white cotton rope hammock with spreader bars. This type of hammock is comfortable and durable, but not great for being portable. Fabric hammocks are the most comfortable. You have absolutely no pressure points. The hammock truly fits you like a glove. They are not as durable or as stylish as the rope hammock. Double hammocks are for two people and are ideal for the patio. Final Tip If you don't have trees or posts to hang your hammock, consider a hammock stand. They come in metal and wood. Wood is more elegant and metal is less expensive and lighter to move.
