So OP isn't even using a hammock right, but wants to say they are awful?
Sounds about right 👍
They always bend my knees weirdly.
I love hammocking but it's unrelaxing because random people always walk up and go "Is that a hammock"
Try hanging the head end up highr than the end were you place your feet
How much do you weigh OP?
This sounds like operator error
I slept on one in my apartment for years. It was the best sleep I've ever gotten. You sleep diagonally not 180 with the hangers, not 90 to the hangers but more like 30-40 degrees from the hangers. Omg I miss my hammock
It's because you are old. I was raised with one in my backyard. I practically lived in that hammock. I would sleep in there for hours. Then I could easily get out and play. Now, a few decades later I don't even want to try to get it. My back wouldn't be able to take it. We are just old. We are the problem not the hammocks. Lol
Ha you're probably right
I don't trust them, God forbid you set it up slightly wrong and suddenly you're on the ground.
Ah, the secret diagonal hammock sleeping position. I've been doing it wrong all these years!
You can get hammocks that don't squeeze you in and are easy to get into. I do agree that the type you're talking about are uncomfortable though.
Hammocks are fun when you're like 5 or younger. After that, they're pretty awful.
What is a sunbed?
Maybe that's a British term. A lounger I think x
That makes sense, google only shows pictures of tanning beds
a lounger
They're the ones you see people lounging around the pool in the movies on.
Nah/ buy yourself an Eagle's Nest. It'll change your life.
We have a hanging hammock, but it uses metal poles and a trampoline like material so it can swing and rock but it holds its shape
If you have a quality hammock they don't "squeeze you in" lol
Hammock is better for your back
Yeah. Getting into them is a pain in the ass. Being in them is a nightmare. And getting out of them is suicide.
I actually slept in a hammock for like 2 years, don't know how I never got back problems from it
That bc you're using them incorrectly
I dunno if this is unpopular or not because when told my friends I love hammock camping most reactions are "there's no way I'd sleep in a hammock" but then there's also a big difference between those ones for gardens and ones for sleeping. When camping in one having the right angle is a big factor and if its its not then yea its not great
I feel the opposite.
They look uncomfortable af, but I climb into mine and it feels heavenly.
If you don't find hammocks comfortable you're not using them properly
Rio Swinging Chair. 10/10 I RECOMMEND THIS SWINGING HAMMOCK CHAIR !!! I'm sitting in it right now and the joy is IMMENSE
I think you might be a bit chubby
I'm a fat girl! Check my profile 🤣
Have u tried a plus size hammock?
Honestly, this is like claiming that beds aren't comfortable after sleeping in a $49/night motel room.
They're fine for naps in the woods but I've never been able to relax in one long enough to make it worthwhile. We have one on our back porch, unused for years and a travel one I'll put up occasionally but isn't really worth it.
Hammocks give me anxiety. I always feel like one side is gonna give out
The winterized hammocks are sooo comfy and cozy 😌 best ones I've even been in.
How much do you weigh?
I'm a fat girl
Depends on the hammock
It sounds like you just really don't know what you're doing with a hammock.
I've never struggled getting in or out of a hammock, nor have I had any difficulty doing anything else (literally anything else) in a hammock.
It's ok to admit you don't know what you're doing.
OP opinion = I don't know how to use a hammock.
Or
Or
Get this
There are different types of hammocks
There absolutely are... and if you use them for the wrong purpose.. guess what....
You don't know how to use a hammock...
Hammocks swing
Gotta get you a good hammock. I love mine. Read it in several times a week.
Diagonal sleeping? I've been doing it all wrong! Time to upgrade my hammock game.
They also seem like they would be romantic but are even more uncomfortable for two.
Those ones from the Yucatan peninsula are awesome and very comfy
Agreed, they make my mid back hurt.
I've gotten some of the best sleep of my life sleeping in a hammock during field training with the army.
You just have to use it correctly.
I love hammock camping! Find some trees on a beach, and fall asleep swaying to the breeze. Wake up with the surf crashing on the beach. Heaven!
I've done that on the porch of a friend's beach house. Aside from waking up covered in salt, yeah--it was one if the best night's sleep I've ever had.
I'm sure being exhausted from field training also helped.
Nah, I only ever brought it for the "chill" field training
I had one custom made with a faux fur lining and let me tell you... no other hammock can compete with the comfort and softness! Mind you, I can't use it on days that are deathly hot, but it's the best to curl up in in the evening while camping ^^
say you're fat without saying you're fat
Agreed. The hammock I have for my banana looks way better than it feels.
Hammocks are the most comfortable thing you can lay on.
