Do you like hammocks?

Are they super comfy maybe moreso than your bed? These look so great.

I remember when Bliss Hammocks were sold on Qvc although I didn't buy one, I wish I had. Here's a video with Dave Venable.

Well not more comfy than my bed, plus I normally sleep on my stomach. But yes I like hammocks.

I have one similar to the one in the bottom photo, and I love it. On warm summer evenings, I lie on it and watch the stars and moon. The only drawback is moving the heavy stand around the yard when I'm mowing.

Well you're the second person I've ever spoken to that says you sleep on your stomach! My husband does too and when he was in the hospital after his stent surgery he was flat on his back and didn't sleep a wink.

Oh, yeah. Nothing like some peaceful time on a hammock on a beautiful summer day.

I love 'em with BEANS!!

ok...seriously....I do love them, and wish I had a good, shady, private space in my yard for one. I have to say, though, if you wonderful people have a hammock, please make sure it is one of the safe ones - the bars at each end help lessen the choking hazard.

Yes, I really love them. I like the cloth ones though, not the netted kind. I have two on our deck at the beach and they get a lot of use. Nothing like laying on there in the evening, closing your eyes and chilling out. So relaxing.

I like them but they don't like me.

I fell out of them more time than I can count.

I'm kinda clumsy and would probably end up on the floor most of the time.....

Growing up in New York we had a summer home on Long Island surrounded by oak trees with cloth hammocks, loved them. Today I would not even think of using one for fear I would end up on the ground. After spending hours at the beach it was so nice to take a shower, get into comfortable clothes and just lie in a hammock and look at the ski through the leaves of the trees, those were the good old days.

I have a grove of black walnut trees outside my kitchen window. I have been hanging my hammock there about 40 years. I always buy the ones with a bar on each end for stability. Nothing more relaxing than being rocked by a gentle breeze.

Many years ago I tried sleeping there all night. I was startled by a horrible loud scream. My flashlight was on the ground out of reach. The critter returned 2 more times before the moon came out and I saw a fox. My dog was in her dog house around the other corner of the house. She did not bark nor did the fox approach her. I was told the fox knew my dogs smell but did not recognize my scent. It took the same path each time going into my woods behind my house. That ended my sleeping outside at night.

Not for me. Besides the sense that I'm likely to fall out, I don't like feeling like a sack of potatoes, and that's the way hammocks make me feel. No support and suspended in the air with a good chance of a fall is not my idea of relaxation. Plus there are the bugs.

I do love them, but no where in my yard to have one. I worked with a guy one time who went to lay on one, he flipped over and broke his collar bone! Ouch!! I do find also that it's harder to get out now that I am older. Ha!
