The Posprica Brazilian Style Double Hammock is a woven cotton hammock with a hand-knotted fringe running down both long edges, which is the detail that separates it visually from a plain nylon camping hammock. It is sized for two people and hangs from end loops, so it works on a stand, between two trees, or from ceiling hooks on a covered porch. The cotton weave breathes and drapes around you rather than sitting flat like parachute nylon, which is more comfortable for long afternoon lounging and less comfortable in wet weather. Note that a stand and hanging hardware are not included. Best fit: patios, screened porches, sunrooms, and shaded backyard corners where it will stay reasonably dry.
Pros
- Hand-knotted fringe on both edges, which is what gives it the resort look
- Cotton weave breathes and wraps around you instead of lying flat like nylon
- Sized for two, so it works as a lounge rather than a single sling
- End loops hang from a stand, two trees, or porch ceiling hooks
Cons
- Cotton holds water and mildews if you leave it out through rain, so this is a bring-it-in or covered-porch hammock, not a leave-it-all-season one
Frequently asked questions
Does it come with a stand or hanging hardware?
No. It has loops at both ends but you supply the stand, tree straps, or ceiling hooks. Check that your stand is rated for a two-person hammock.
Can I leave it outside in the rain?
Not for long. It is cotton, so it soaks up water and will mildew if it stays wet. Bring it in or hang it somewhere covered.
Is it really wide enough for two adults?
Two adults fit for lounging. For actual sleeping most people find it comfortable for one and cramped for two, which is typical of Brazilian-style hammocks.
How do I wash it?
Most owners hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle in a mesh bag and hang it to dry. Avoid a hot dryer, which can shrink the cotton and tangle the fringe.
