Any advice for buying a hammock?

<p>I’m looking to purchase a hammock and stand for my girlfriend over the summer. Preferably one that fits two comfortably. I found a combo that looked decent on amazon by Strathwood. Does anyone have any suggestions… and is $140 enough to pay for a hammock and stand, or is it almost guaranteed to be garbage?</p>

<p>Is this for your retirement?</p>

<p>Retirement? Not sure what you mean. It’s just something to lounge in in the backyard. She has always wanted a hammock, and since we do not have suitable trees, I figure a stand is the next best thing.</p>

<p>FYI, hammocks are bad for your back.</p>

<p>Umm, who lays on hammocks??</p>

<p>Mostly old people.</p>

<p>And who complain about bad backs?</p>

<p>What’s wrong with hammocks?! They are pretty comfortable! Does anyone over the age of 18 have advice on buying a hammock?</p>

<p>You mean over the age of 65? ;)</p>

<p>A hammock for two is a pretty big hammock. I don’t see why anyone would want to get a two-person hammock, since the people in it would get all squished together in the center. I guess you wouldn’t have a problem since it’d be for you and your girlfriend.</p>

<p>You probably won’t get the advice you’re looking for in the CC cafe. High school students don’t go around spending $140 on hammocks.</p>
