Comfortable sleep when camping and trekking

For lovers of the outdoor life, hammocks are a real upgrade compared to sleeping on the hard ground. They can be quickly attached between two trees and you immediately have a comfortable bed for the night, protected from ground moisture and creepy‑crawlies. On top of that, the gentle swinging rocks you into a restful sleep.

Weight savings when backpacking

When you travel light, every gram you save is worth its weight in gold. Hammocks weigh very little, can be folded up small and fit into any backpack. This means you always have a practical sleeping option with you without having to sacrifice comfort. This makes them an indispensable piece of equipment for backpackers.

Outdoor photography and wildlife observation

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

Recovery after adventure sports

After a strenuous day full of physical activities such as climbing or hiking, taking a break in a hammock is the ideal way to relax your muscles while enjoying nature at the same time. It offers you a unique retreat where you can recharge your batteries and take in the beauty of the landscape from a new perspective.

What should I bear in mind when using hammocks?

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

Cleaning tablets

Choosing the right hammock depends on various factors, including the place of use, 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 outside, made from materials that withstand moisture and UV radiation – perfect for camping, trekking or the garden. Indoor hammocks, on the other hand, feature softer fabrics and attractive designs that fit well into your living space. They offer a cozy retreat that blends seamlessly into your interior. Whether outdoors in nature or indoors in the comfort of your home, the right hammock is waiting for you.

Spreader-bar hammock vs. fabric hammock

From classic Bundeswehr camouflage colors to plain models, a variety of versions are offered that differ in appearance not only for aesthetic reasons. If you want a quiet night’s sleep and don’t want to attract uninvited guests, you should adapt the color of your camp bed to the surrounding environment. The functional aspect of color choice for the respective terrain should be given priority over purely aesthetic considerations.

Special hammocks with mosquito nets or camouflage elements

Hammocks with mosquito net are perfect for trips to tropical regions or places where mosquitoes can become a nuisance. The net provides protection from insects so you can sleep or relax undisturbed. Tarn-Hängematten on the other hand, are the first choice for outdoor enthusiasts who want to blend inconspicuously into nature – ideal for hunting and observation trips.

Material and design

When buying a hammock, three main factors are crucial for your comfort and the durability of the product. First, the material plays a major role: While nylon and polyester are valued for their light weight and weather resistance and are therefore ideal for outdoor use, cotton offers a softer and more pleasant surface that is particularly suitable for indoor use. Then design and color come into play. Here you should choose something that reflects your personal style. ASMC offers a wide range of options, from plain colors to camouflage patterns. Finally, you should also consider the type of hammock: net hammocks are excellent for hot climates thanks to their improved air circulation, while hammocks with an insulation system and a continuous lying surface offer more stability and are better suited for cooler environments. Ultimately, the choice depends on your individual needs and preferences.

FAQs: Outdoor hammocks

What determines the lying comfort of a hammock?

The size and shape of your hammock and where it is attached are crucial for lying comfort. The wider it is, the better your lying position. Hammock beginners tend to go for spreader-bar hammocks, while true experts prefer models without a spreader bar. Cotton hammocks are also softer than nylon ones and therefore offer greater comfort when lying down.

Is it a problem if the hammock gets wet?

In principle, you should protect hammocks from rain and moisture. If your hammock is made of nylon, moisture is not a major issue; models made of cotton fabrics should be hung up to dry as quickly as possible.

The hammock is sagging – what can you do?

If you prefer to lie on one side of the hammock, that side will stretch faster due to the one‑sided load. It will then sag more on that side, which can impair sleeping comfort. To counteract this, you should simply lie on the other side as well; the problem will then resolve itself..

How do you get into a hammock?

Getting in takes some practice. You should make sure to sit down with your backside first to distribute your body weight as evenly as possible. If you do that, the rest is actually quite easy. To get up, simply let your legs hang out of the hammock and stand up. But be careful: no sharp objects in the hammock!
