Outdoor hammocks are versatile.

Outdoor hammocks are not only for relaxation, but are also a practical tool for various outdoor activities.

Relaxing outdoors

Hanging a hammock in your garden or on your patio creates a personal oasis of calm. Here you can escape the stresses of everyday life, read a good book, or simply watch the clouds. Outdoor hammocks are the perfect place to unwind during the warmer months and enjoy some time out in nature.

Comfortable sleep while camping and trekking

For outdoor enthusiasts, hammocks are a real upgrade from sleeping on the hard ground. They can be quickly strung between two trees, instantly providing a comfortable bed for the night, protected from damp ground and creepy crawlies. Furthermore, the gentle rocking motion will lull you into a restful sleep.

Weight savings when backpacking

When you travel light, every bit of weight saved is invaluable. Hammocks weigh very little, fold up small, and fit in any backpack. This way, you always have a convenient sleeping option without sacrificing comfort. This makes them an essential piece of equipment for backpackers.

Outdoor photography and nature observation

For hours spent in nature, whether observing wildlife or taking the perfect photo, a hammock offers a comfortable place to relax. Unlike standing or sitting on the ground, you'll tire less quickly and can enjoy your surroundings from a stable and comfortable vantage point.

Recovery after adventure sports

After a strenuous day of physical activity like climbing or hiking, a break in a hammock is the ideal way to relax your muscles and enjoy nature. It offers a unique retreat where you can recharge and admire the beauty of the landscape from a new perspective.

What should I consider when using hammocks?

Before using a hammock, you should definitely read the instructions. These provide valuable information on how to attach and use your hammock. Hammocks must be securely and stably attached on both sides. Otherwise, they can easily slip and lead to unpleasant bruises or even minor injuries. When getting into the hammock, you should briefly check its stability. Since they tend to sway a little, you should get in carefully.

Which hammock is right for me?

Choosing the right hammock depends on various factors, including where you intend to use it, your personal preferences, and specific needs. Here are some points to help you find the ideal hammock for you:

Outdoor vs. Indoor

Outdoor hammocks are ideal for use outdoors, made from materials that withstand moisture and UV radiation – perfect for camping, trekking, or the garden. Indoor hammocks, on the other hand, with their softer fabrics and attractive designs, fit well into living spaces. They offer a cozy retreat that blends seamlessly into your interior décor. Whether you're out in nature or in the comfort of your home, the perfect hammock is waiting for you.

Spreader bar hammock vs. fabric hammock

Spreader bar hammocks, equipped with spreader bars at both ends, keep the fabric open and provide a stable lying surface – ideal for sunbathing or relaxing in the garden, as they make getting in and out easier. In contrast, fabric hammocks without spreader bars create a more traditional and cozy atmosphere by enveloping the body and providing a feeling of security. They are particularly well-suited for cooler climates or if you simply want to enjoy the gentle swaying of a hammock.

Special hammocks with mosquito nets or camouflage elements

Hammocks with mosquito nets are perfect for trips to tropical regions or places where mosquitoes can be a nuisance. The net provides protection from insects, allowing you to sleep or relax undisturbed. Camouflage hammocks, on the other hand, are the first choice for outdoor enthusiasts who want to blend inconspicuously into nature, ideal for hunting and wildlife observation trips.

Expert tip: Special hammocks as a small one-person tent

If you're looking for a true all-rounder for your outdoor adventures, then special hammocks that can also be used as small one-person tents are just what you need. These ingenious designs offer you the flexibility to sleep safely protected from crawling insects and small animals, both on the ground and suspended between two trees. Thanks to the integrated, all-around mosquito net, you can also rest peacefully under the open sky without being disturbed by annoying insects.

Material and design

When buying a hammock, three main factors are crucial for your comfort and the product's longevity. First, the material plays a major role: While nylon and polyester are valued for their lightness and weather resistance, making them ideal for outdoor use, cotton offers a softer and more comfortable surface, making it particularly suitable for indoor use. Next comes the design and color. Here, you should choose something that reflects your personal style. ASMC offers a wide variety of options, from solid colors to camouflage patterns. Finally, you should also consider the type of hammock: Net hammocks are excellent for hot climates due to their improved air circulation, while hammocks with an insulation system offer even more protection from the elements. and a continuous lying surface offer more stability and are better suited to cooler environments. Ultimately, the choice depends on your individual needs and preferences.

FAQs: Outdoor hammocks

What determines the comfort of a hammock?

The size, shape, and placement of your hammock significantly influence its comfort. The wider the hammock, the better the lying position. Hammock novices tend to prefer spreader bar hammocks. Experienced users prefer models without spreader bars. Additionally, cotton hammocks are softer than nylon ones and therefore offer greater comfort.

Is it bad if the hammock gets wet?

In general, you should protect hammocks from dampness and moisture. If your hammock is made of nylon, dampness isn't a major issue, but models made of cotton fabrics should be hung up to dry as soon as possible.

The hammock is sagging, what should I do?

If you tend to lie on one side of the hammock, that side will stretch more quickly due to the uneven weight distribution. This causes it to sag more on that side, which can negatively impact your sleeping comfort. To counteract this, simply lie on the other side as well; the problem will resolve itself .

How do you get into a hammock?

Getting in takes a little practice. You should make sure to get in with your bottom first to distribute your body weight as evenly as possible. Once you do this, the rest is pretty much automatic. To get up, simply let your legs dangle out of the hammock and stand up. But be careful: no sharp objects in the hammock!

How high should a hammock be hung?

The hanging height should be approximately 70% of the total length. The further away, the better. With a hanging distance of 4 meters, a hanging height of just under 3 meters is recommended. Generally, hang hammocks as high as possible .
