Fact #1. Hammocks have been used around the globe for thousands of years. In some regions, they're used as comfortable spots for rest and relaxation. In others, they are the primary spot for sleep. They've been used on tropical beaches, in dense jungles, in the holds of ships, and everywhere in between.
Fact #2. The simple design and the wide range of materials suitable for their construction have made these a perennially popular item. Europeans came into contact with them in the first years of the so-called Age of Exploration. The name was derived from the Hamack Tree, which provided the bark often used to make these suspended beds. The name stuck. It was no large jump to the word we still use today in English.
Fact #3. The hammock may be the quintessential symbol of summertime relaxation. However, it need not be a staple of the summer months alone. When hung in the right spot, it can be enjoyed all year long. You can suspend it near a fire pit, accompanied by blankets, or even hang it indoors.
Fact #4. Purchasing the right option means considering not only where you'll use it, but when. Start by considering the weather it will have to face. Many are made with materials designed to resist fading and fraying that can result from long-term exposure to sunshine. These same models might not resist damage caused by rain and snow.
Fact #5. It's relatively easy to find a hammock that is suitable for comfortable use by one person. It can be a bit harder to find one suitable for shared use. If you and your significant other want to be able to snuggle up in one, make sure you check the rated weight capacity of a prospective purchase, and its width as well.
