Vivere Double Cotton Hammock with Space Saving Steel Stand, Upgraded Polyester End Strings 450 lb Capacity - Premium Carry Bag Included - USA Grown Cotton (Tropical)

I don't think I've ever been so excited to get something in the mail! Could have been the super long and miserable winter, but I could not WAIT to get this set up. Luckily, setup was a breeze and required no tools whatsoever. Screw about six things in by hand, loop the hammock over the hooks and you're in business. In less than ten minutes, I was enjoying my first hammock ever! Some others mentioned an odor/smell, but I didn't notice anything. I set this up outdoors in about 70 degree weather and didn't notice anything and I'm highly sensitive to smells, esp that new plastic/manufacturing smell. I didn't have any struggles putting the pieces together, either. It was so easy to put together and I truly did appreciate not having to use any tools to screw anything into place. I logged about two hours in the 'mock today and I have to tell you, there's no uncomfortable position. I initially was a little skeptical that I'd like a hammock that was so wide (seeing the hammock 'burrito' pictures some others posted left me curious), but I've found that the wideness can sometimes provide some shade, too. There are so many ways to lie on this and it's just so cozy. I opted for the cotton hammock (color: tropical), and not the sunbrella fabric. The cotton is super soft and durable. I will take the cotton hammock part in the garage when not in use, but will leave the stand in the yard all summer. The hammock and stand seem very well-made. I had no hesitation about moving around in it and getting in and out. This hammock can accommodate up to 450 lbs. I had my boyfriend join me in the hammock, but it was kind-of cramped and, as he said, "it's not my thing". Pffft - more hammock for me! The hammock and stand come with a carrying case, too. I don't imagine I'll be transporting my hammock any where, but it does indeed break down easily and fits in a very nice little bag if you want to hammock somewhere else. Nice addition. So far, I'm very impressed! I'll update this review at the end of the season and note any flaws or issues, if applicable. For $130 (as of this writing), I'm very happy and look forward to wasting away the summer in this!

This hammock and the seller are excellent. First, the hammock. I grew up on "American" hammocks (the design with the wooden spreader bar at each end) so I was a bit dubious of this design. But after some research and realizing that pretty much the rest of world uses this design (and often as their primary sleeping location) I decided to give it a try. I absolutely love it! It is amazingly comfortable and very cozy. But it might not be for everyone. The American design lays much flatter (and is also much easier to flip out of) and allows one to lay there while socializing with others nearby. This hammock envelops you in a cocoon or perhaps cradle-like environment. I find the latter very comfortable and a great way to relax. But if socializing with others while using the hammock is your goal, this might not be the best choice. Also, this style is a little harder to get out of. It is not bad (I am a middle aged out of shape person and have little problem) but I can imagine that an elderly person or someone with certain physical limitations may have an issue. And finally, this is advertised as a double hammock. But its design means that both people sort of sag to the middle. This can be very nice and intimate or it may feel crowded. It depends on your goals. If those caveats are not a problem for you then otherwise this hammock is excellent. The hammock itself appears to be excellent quality material and I think the frame will last for many, many years (perhaps longer than me with care). The entire setup is super easy to setup and breakdown and the carrying bag means this is something I can easily travel with (camping, beach trip, or just visiting someone without a guest room?) Now for the seller. They have been wonderful to deal with. Within hours after ordering the seller contacted me to tell me that the specific color I ordered was not available. They told me they only had one left in the warehouse and upon inspection it was damaged. They gave me the option of a refund, back order, or choosing another color. I know from painful experience that many sellers would have simply sent the damaged product anyway (either because they didn't pay attention or just didn't care). I was thankful for this seller's quick and honest communication. After choosing another color I received my hammock quickly, it was well packaged and damage free. Interestingly, I ended up receiving the color I originally asked for. I guess they worked to find a solution to the problem I inspected the product in great detail and found not even the slightest flaw. I could not be any more pleased with my experience with this transaction.

I bought two of these hammocks. I put both of them together in probably 15 minutes. Very simple, no tools required. The hammock stands are hefty and well made. I was looking for a long time and read a million reviews before I settled on this kind. I’m so glad I did. These things are beefy! The stand has a nice finish and is sturdy. I set one up in the house because it was cold and rainy out. I had one cat and one dog up on the hammock with me, and when the dog got up and down, the hammock barely moved. The hammock itself is nice. It had a little bit of an odor when I first opened it, and I would have preferred to wash it before using it, but wasn’t sure how it would wash. The hammock is strong and nicely made. It’s soft and very comfortable. We also have the style of hammocks that you can hang from trees, and we will be able to use those in these stands as well. They had a decent sale on these, and I’m glad I pulled the trigger. Very happy either my purchase, and I hope they last a long time. I wonder if I can find plugs to keep the rain out of the extra holes in the stand, but that’s the only thing I would add. Just get it. You’ll be happy you did.

Couldn't believe the price when I saw this, nor that it sets up in only a few minutes...but it does! I was able to set it up all by myself. I don't think I even needed any tools. We bought this to use as an adjunct to my son's occupational therapy and we all had fun with it. The kids and I had a blast rocking in it and they even slept in it a few nights. We all rocked back and forth with no worries or feelings of shakiness, falling apart, etc. Very sturdy! I love that the instructions are on the carry bag (covered with a vinyl window, no less!) and that I could carry it in the bag without collapsing under the weight. (But be warned - it is not light as a feather, either!) Not as spacious as with the full-size stand but still room for 2 kids or an adult and 2 kids (ages 10 & 14, but a little small for their ages), or 2 average adults. If you're 6ft tall, you might want the full-size stand, though. Will make a great addition to future camping trips and so portable, I'm tempted to take it to sporting practice in the spring. (If I gotta be there, why not in style? :-) It has stretched some since we first used it, but we merely moved the metal 'loops' at the ends to lower hooks which raised the hammock bottom to a suitable level. Another note, we chose the tropical pattern, which made the hammock very affordable - didn't cost much more than the stand itself does if purchased separately. I think it looks much better than the more durable outdoor fabric option (whatever it was called). But the tropical pattern (as stated) can't be left outside in inclement weather. But I'm not sure the stand should be left outside in such weather, either. I don't think it's made of stainless steel, and after seeing my outdoor swing rust to pieces, I'd rather not be so wasteful. It just makes sense that it will last longer if you keep it inside until use, and it's so easy to set up & take down, it should not be a deterrent to frequent use inside or out. So compact, you may stick it in the closet & forget you have it! I may have to stick a reminder in my phone to bring it out & use it more regularly. Perhaps in front of (but not near) the fireplace this winter... :-)

Very good quality. Easy to assemble. I was able to put it together, by myself, within 20 minutes of taking it out of the box. The one sheet instruction guide could, however, be a bit more helpful. This is a very comfortable hammock. I'm not sure I would feel so comfortable with another person resting in it with me, but it certainly can accommodate two. As some other reviewers have done, I purchased this to serve as my main bed. My sleep pattern has definitely improved. I am waking up more refreshed, and medically speaking, I have noticed far less problems with swelling in my legs, ankles, and feet. I have also noted a big improvement in the way my back feels in the morning. I continue to monitor the stitching at the ends for any signs of early breakdown as a result of daily use for 6 to 8 or more hours each night. So far all is intact and demonstrates quality in its construction. I appreciate the ability to adjust the placement of the ends as the fabric stretches. Two small caveats to mention. 1) I am 5' 7". To get out of this hammock I find it is helpful to have a small footstool available. I could lower the overall depth of the hammock, but I have found that to do so reduces my overall comfort when sleeping. 2) Another reviewer mentioned an odor. There was a slight odor that came from the inside of the tubing when I first took the product out of the box it came in. Perhaps my olfactory sense has dulled over the years, but while it was mildly unpleasant for a few nights, IF I placed my nose right up to where the tubing opened, the odor dissipated by the end of night three. If you are very sensitive to odors, however, be aware this might be of concern for you. Overall this really is a Five Star product, but leaving room for perhaps a future revision that would allow the overall footprint of the frame to be adjustable up to a foot smaller, I will go with 4 stars. It is also nice to know you can purchase replacement hammocks, if needed. I plan on picking up a few more of these to function as guest beds, or for sleep overs when my grandchildren visit.

About a decade ago, I replaced my traditional mattress bed with a hammock and never looked back. This is the hammock stand I have been hanging my hammocks on and sleeping in every night for 10 years. The stand is sturdy, stable and easy to put together with no tools. It comes with a carrying bag that holds the whole setup and has the instructions sewn on the outside. It's not a small bag, nor is it light, but you could easily put it in a trunk or backseat. My only complaint is that depending on where your weight is in the hammock, the hammock ropes may rub against the wingnut and/or bolt that comes through the frame. I solved this by using some neoprene rubber from a mouse pad to fashion a washer that I put on the outside of the stand to take up some extra length on the hook bolt and screwed the wingnut down accordingly. I've noticed on newer models, the design had changed slightly and this is no longer an issue. I highly recommend this setup. I love that it can accommodate hammocks of different lengths and is so compact, sturdy and easy to assemble. The stand alone is worth the purchase price! Edit 10/22/15: I've had this product for 2 1/2 years now and wanted to report back on it. The stand is still in excellent condition despite the damp Northwest weather, and is still in daily use. In fact, at least three other people I know of have bought this combo to replace a mattress setup at home and are still, to my knowledge, using it happily. Since I bought this setup it's also been through many moves, been used as a guest bed, loved by cats, and survived some...dynamic forces for which it was probably not intended! It's been rock solid with over 400 lbs in it. I've used this stand with the hammock it came with, as well as nylon camping hammocks, and the range of adjustability has made it easy. I've retired the original hammock it came with, since it's pretty much blown out after a hard life, and am replacing it with a homemade tablecloth hammock. I've since learned more about hammocks and can add the caveat that no matter the length of the hammock you use in this stand, you will have a 9ft ridgeline and roughly a 4ft hang height, so the ability to fine tune your sag is a bit limited. That said, you can adjust the hammock length by adjusting where you hang it on the stand, so you have some wiggle room, and the hang angle that's built in is pretty close to 30 degrees to my eye. I see this stand continuing to serve me for a long time. It's a great portable hammock solution and the easiest way to have a hammock in an apartment or small space. The stand still comes apart and sets up easily, even if it's been left set up for a while. I do recommend using a tiny bit of grease on the threads of the bolt if you want to make sure they don't seize up. Update: 12/08/18 Yup, still using this hammock stand and still sleeping in it every night. I'm on my third hammock bed now and think this stand might last forever. Still no signs of rust, despite the North West damp and no signs of wear. I've moved houses several times. I've stored it in a storage unit that wasn't climate controlled for a couple weeks during winter and both the stand and bag show no signs of mildew. I've attached both steel and aluminum carabiners to the hooks with no problems. I thought by now that the rubber end caps, the curved washers, or the plastic hand bolts would have broken, but the hardware is still in great shape. I've also converted another person into a full-time hammock sleeper after they tried mine out and they're using this same stand happily and they weigh about 300 lbs. Just buy it. Update 11/28/21: What do you know? Still using this hammock stand every night and loving it! It's been about 10 years and all the hardware is in great shape and it's just as sturdy as ever. I've converted at least 4 other people to full time indoor hanging and to my knowledge, all are still happily using this stand with no issues. I've learned so much about hammocks now and can add that if you're over 6ft tall, depending on how you sleep, you may not get the flattest diagonal lay on this stand because the ridgeline is limited to 9ft. For that reason, at a certain point extra hammock width will not matter, so I wouldn't bother with a hammock bigger then a double as you'll just have extra fabric in your face. I've had pets, partners and friends hang with me, including tall folks and big folks. I've broken down and reassembled it countless times. I've moved it and stored it in damp places. I've subjected the stand to vigorous adult activities with no failures (of the stand, anyway!). I've used a wide variety of hammocks on it, and even added an underquilt to my current setup. I've built blanket forts over it because I'm an adult and I do what I want. I've never left it outdoors in the rain, so I can't speak to that, but I've used it in every other way imaginable. I even tried switching to some indoor-specific wall anchors for my full time hanging and came right back to this hammock stand. This stand is, without a doubt, the easiest way to hang a hammock indoors, whether full time or intermittently. If you have a 9ft by 4ft space, you can have blissful hammock hangs anytime you like, for years to come. Just buy the darn thing!

I have always wanted a hammock bed.. So I saw this one and went ahead and got it.. It is a very good design for indoor use at 9 feet long.. I'm using it as my bed and it works well.. It adjusts easily as it stretches out from use.. I'm 5'11'' and 230 lbs and it holds me just fine.. I will probably never sleep in a bed again after using this hammock.. With winter coming I plan to point a heater at the bottom of it and line the inside with a sleeping bag or nice blanket.. It is real nice in warm weather.. It is big enough to side sleep in and easy to get in and out of but it is different and may not be for everyone.. Just be careful not to stub your toe or trip on the stand as it sticks out a ways.. So far so good.. Bought mine from warehouse deals on Amazon and the frame had some paint missing from bad prepping.. It was listed as a return in new condition so no biggie.. I saved a few bucks by doing so and packaging had not been opened.. The hammock is easy to setup and break down but some of the threading on the screw in pipe connectors takes some effort to not cross thread.. But they did go together fine and if done properly there should be no wobble in the stand.. This hammock should not be used as a swing.. It is the 100% cotton hammock that you touch and feel and it is nice.. Saw reviews that said it smelled bad but mine had no odor and is very comfortable.. It is recommended by the manufacturer to hand wash it in Woolite or similar product.. For a cheapO hammock you can't beat this thing for the price.. All I need now is a parrot, ship & crew and I'm set Harrrr.. This product came as described on Amazon and was shipped quickly,, I would buy it again.. UPDATE 12/28/2013.. Still sleeping in it and my back loves it.. My family thinks I'm weird but so what I'm happy.. I found I can just wash it in the washing machine on gentle and it is fine.. Every thing is still holding up well.. You need to put pillows under your knees for sleeping on your back or at least I do.. A heater putting warm air under it keeps it nice and warm on cold nights.. I got the camping parachute material hammock that works on this frame from amazon and it is ok just watch out for the loops they connect to the hooks on it as it can slip and drop you.. Almost got me and only luck saved me from falling on the pipe frame.. I put padding over it now with that hammock just in case.. That said the cloth hammock that comes with this frame feels very secure and I just got the other nylon one while the cloth hammock dries after a wash.. Probably going to get another double cloth hammock and just use the camping nylon one for camping over very soft ground XD.. Enjoy..

I researched for several weeks before settling on the Vivere hammock. There were other brands but I wanted to pay a little more for the Vivere based on the reviews. I am glad I did. It was well worth it because it is strong and very good quality. I read all the high rated as well as the low rated reviews. There was one low rated review that complained about the quality but the person set the hooks so far down and put the hooks on the wrong side. I cannot believe people who do not follow instructions and then complain about the product. It is not difficult to put together via the picture. If you need more detailed instructions, there are youtube videos you can watch. I am a tiny woman and I hauled this box from my front door, unboxed it, and assembled it in less than 15 minutes. It has a simple design, engineered to be strong. Just make sure to put the hooks on the outside, not inside like the other reviewer. Lol. The cotton material was strong and holds up well. The cotton is very soft and comfortable. I am thinking of buying a second one that I love it so much 😍

Best purchase, I've always wanted one, but I am normally too heavy for such things. This has a high weight rating, and I was excited. It's exactly as described and the photo, it holds my massive weight, it's comfortable, I feel safe, it's easy as, to pack up and put out! would 100% recommend this amazing hammock! I got one for my brother too, and he loves it so much as well.

身長165cmです。ベッドがわりに購入しました。組み立ては簡単ですが、室内利用なら下にカーペットは必須だと思います。また使い始めは一番上の留め具までしかハンモックが掛からなくてかなり床から高い状態だったので、大丈夫かなーとも思いましたが次の日には伸びてちょうどいいくらいの高さに。ハンモックないで斜めになるように寝てますがもっと身長ある人でも余裕だと思います。金属パーツ自体は大きいですが、ベットに比べて使用してない時は萎むので、圧迫感はないです。首や肩の痛みなども生じてないし、全然揺れないので寝心地もよく、買ってよかったなーと思います。

The quality is great, the structure feels solid but at the same time it's extremely easy to assemble. The hammock itself is equally good and the colors are bright and so vivid. My impressions: Given the short length, it does not swing as much as the ones hung on walls or trees. It's OK to me given my space limitations. It still rocks quite nice. Some other commentaries complain about the hammock itself being too low. Yeah, it stretches quite a lot I would say, which in fact is a really nice feature to me. Upon assembling it and sitting for the first time it might hit the ground, but just try a lower setting for the hooks. In fact after a week I had to adjust the hooks once more since it lowered quite a lot; at first it was nearly flat when empty, today it hangs really curved. It does stretch. Also the structure feels like "bending" when you lie inside the hammock, but I believe it's somehow normal; I've been using it with my kid regularly, and when I get up and inspect the whole thing I see nothing wrong. It feels like an optical illusion of sorts, I would say. The manufacturer says it supports up to 200Kg (450lbs); I've been using together with my kid for a total of 120Kg (206lbs) and not a single issue to date. I saw similar cheaper models here on Amazon, but given the stress the thing is supposed to stand, I recommend this one given its sturdiness; a cheaper one might not be as resistant or durable, thus breaking/damaging easier.

Very sturdy. Quick and easy to assemble. A quality product.

A easy product to set up,very sturdy and comfortable and looks good. Would recommend the product. Make sure your dimensions are right as the overall stand is quite large.
