Have you ever wondered why it feels so good to lie there, suspended, almost weightless, swaying or swinging… on nothing but a net? What draws us to the hammock as the ultimate simplistic resting device that we cannot live with out? Well, it has to do with body over mind, and our bodies know exactly what they want and need when they feel it. If you have never been in a hammock, it is an absolute must on your immediate to-do list. If you have, and know of what I speak, then let’s talk about the health benefits of hammocks, and why you have this constant urge to set one up in your bedroom.

As a matter of ergonomics, there is simply no better way to rest the entire body, head to toe, than by using a hammock. At 9 months or 90 years old, from 50 pounds to 500, everyone can improve the quality of their lives with the use of this swinging, twirling, netted apparatus. The Mexican peoples have hammock hooks installed all through their houses, and use them for daybed and sleepers for their babies, which is safe under constant supervision. Why? Because one of the health benefits of hammocks is that the swaying, lilting action that they provide stimulates the cerebral activity in the brain.

What does that mean? That means that swinging in a nice fabric hammock improves a person’s ability to focus and concentrate, while at the same time relaxing the brain’s overall activity. This is scientifically proven as invaluable therapy for those suffering autism, or even just those who have trouble with reading and comprehension. That’s right, hammocks are being sold by medical suppliers as therapy devices prescribed by doctors and psychologists. The health benefits of hammocks don’t stop there, in fact that’s only the beginning.

This reduced brain activity is a powerful stress reduction tool. As the brain slows, the stress throughout the body releases, and the blood pressure drops considerably as a result. So, while your inner body relaxes and rejuvenates, the health benefits of the hammock go to work on the physical body as well. Even when resting in a cheap hammock, the weight of your body is evenly distributed throughout, sort of like floating in water; only you don’t have to paddle or kick. The vertebrae stretch and settle back into their natural positions, the neck and tail bone align, and you are entranced into full meditation of body and mind, effortlessly.

Does anyone know where I could get a nylon hammock suited for a male rat?
I used to have 2 of them that I bought and Petco and Petsmart, but neither of the chains seem to be carrying them anymore.

So does anyone know another big chain that carries Nylon [not felt] hammocks?

The ultimate backyard is whatever you want to make it, and as such can mean anything from a tropical, water park paradise, to a safari, to the meanest and most amazing barbeque pit, to an intimate, cozy garden area filled with scents and beautiful wildlife. Whatever your idea of the ultimate backyard, a hammock of one type or another can fit in perfectly with your motif and needs. Here you will find a little bit of inspiration and guidance about the types of hammocks you may want to consider. There’s always time and room for relaxation, and the hammock gives us that gift tenfold.

A hammock with stand combination is an ideal way to offer added seating to the most sheltered and shaded areas of your yard, not to mention the areas where everyone gathers to socialize. These hanging swings can be hung on sturdy ceiling joists, trees, and individual stands for easy portable or for instances when a natural anchor isn’t available. The swinging, swaying, and gentle twirling of these beautifully balanced hammocks will offer peace, thorough comfort, and rest to anyone who needs to take a load off. The great thing about them is that they can be hung relatively close together and are cost effective, so everyone can enjoy the benefits without waiting around for a turn.

If you are looking for a more traditional type of hammock swing chair as an ultimate backyard accessory, you will want to consider who will be using it and where you will set it up before your purchase. If you trees close together, no less than 10 feet but no more than twelve feet by standard, then you are in good shape for buying the bed without a wooden or metal frame. If not, then your will want to be sure that you have a level, large area in which to place your new hammock. This will ensure that it never tips or rocks uncomfortably beneath the user.

There are also hanging benches in hammock style, and these are usually hung from a standard frame. You can use a wooden swing set frame for a more natural, elegant look, or purchase the frame that is recommended for the bench you choose. Using these tips, you now have options for allowing several people to enjoy the physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of the hammock in your very own ultimate backyard dwelling.

I was in Puerto Rico/Culebra for vacation this summer and noticed that the locals played dominos everywhere and also had handmade hammocks. But I could only find much cheaper versions of these items in really “touristy” shops. I am looking for a hammock and set of dominos that local puerto ricans would own. Can anyone help?

Jonathan Gal asked:


There is much more to hammocks than the simple, pleasurable act of swinging lazily in the breeze without a care in the world. These comfortable, beneficial, suspended beds were born of necessity, and the history of their creation is an interesting one indeed. There remains a bit of mystery revolving around the origin of hammocks, but one fact is uncontestable: hammocks have been a commonplace tool for both survival and burial since as early as 450 BC. This is the earliest recorded date of the swinging bed, said to have been developed by an unassuming student of Socrates named Alcibiades.

Now, understanding that Greece was worlds away from the jungles and tropical wilds where the hammock is thought to have been developed, and that during this point in time the world was considered flat, square, and frighteningly unsure just past the horizon, we have to assume that Alcibiades just so happened upon an intelligent, logical, and comfortable way to rest which, certainly, was already employed elsewhere in the world. Since he had no way of knowing this, we simply must give him kudos for his efforts and move on to the origin of hammocks decades before. Off to South America we go.

The natives of the wilds in what would later be known as the Amazon Basin had an extremely difficult time surviving the grueling, thick, sticky climates born of their region. Daytime hours were difficult enough, but at least they could see the bugs and stand out of the moisture. When nighttime hours came creeping in, the peoples were simply mauled by both the dampness and the enormous numbers of potentially deadly insects. The origin of the double hammock lay here, in this uncertain and miserable environment, when getting off the ground and covering up every body part meant the difference between survival or death.

There are many ancient forms of hammock making, each stemming from its own tropical region of the earth. Venezuelan, or jungle hammocks, are usually constructed to repel insects and rain, and as such are more like suspended, breathable tents. In Mexico, the origin of hammocks is accredited to the Caribbean, and later perfected on the Yucatan, where the peoples turned the hammock and hammock stand into a symbolic and cultural way of life. Often referred to as Mayan hammocks, these beautiful and intricate swings are not thought to be a part of Mayan culture at all, but adopted by the surrounding peoples after their demise.
