Hangmatten Experten - CH

There are many different fixings and ways to hang a hammock. It can go between two well spaces trees using our adjustable fixing ropes, on one of our sturdy stands, or it can be fixed to walls or posts. We even have a special stand for people that only have one tree in their garden.

This largely depends on how well you care for it. Some of our customers are using hammocks and stands that are over 5 years old, but most of our customers tend to replace them every summer to bring a new colour into their garden. All our products are made to the highest standards, with TUV and GS quality marks, meaning they will be far superior to anything available elsewhere.

Ideally, your hammock should sit about 120cm above ground level, so you can easily get in and out of it. Of course, you can hang it as high as you like.

All our hammocks can be left outside, but some materials are better than others for repelling rain and sun fade. Hammocks made from 100% polyester, parachute-silk, or Elltex can all be left outside, although we still recommend bringing them in to dry to prevent mould. Our Brazilian cotton hammocks ideally should be kept dry. Learn more

All our hammocks are tested beyond the weight capacity we advertise. But, we still recommend using it as a guide when purchasing. We have categorised our hammocks into single (one person), double (two person) and family (2+ people). When ordering a hammock and fixings/stand together, ensure the capacities are suitable for your use.

This is down to the different sizes of the hammock or stand, and also the materials. Most of our stands are made using Spruce, but some are made from a hardier Larch.

Not at all, once you are in the hammock it is very safe. We sell thousands of hammocks and rarely hear of any incidents and some of our happiest hammock users are people over 60. Hammocks are comfortable, and relaxing and sadly have a notion that they are difficult to get into. This is not the case.

Yes, hammocks help with the natural curvature of the spine and are much better for you than laying or sleeping on a flatbed. In some studies, sleeping in a hammock has been proven to help relieve back pain.
