Hammocks

Hammock: a moment of relaxation during your holidays

Ideal for sleeping while being gently rocked, the hammock will be your ally for serenity during your camping holidays. Lemonade in hand, imagine yourself comfortably settled in your hammock during your camping or bivouac holidays. There’s nothing like it to recharge and fully enjoy your moments of relaxation. There are, of course, different types of hammocks. A hammock can take the form of a suspended hammock or a hammock with a stand. Originally, the hammock was a suspended hammock, meaning it was a net or canvas, suspended between two trees, arranged horizontally and held by a cord. Other products derived from the suspended hammock have since come onto the market, making the use of hammocks more stylish and suitable for any type of environment. Thus, you will find hammocks with stands such as hammock chairs or suspended armchairs, which do not require the presence of trees around you. These hammocks are integrated into a stand and are, in every way, comparable to a suspended hammock.

There are four main families of hammocks: the net hammocks (Mexican hammocks), made of very fine woven nets; the canvas hammocks (Brazilian hammocks), made of a macrame of cotton threads; the bivouac hammocks, made of parachute fabric or synthetic materials; and the bar hammocks.

The travel hammock: sleeping under the stars while hiking

The bivouac hammock is an ideal ally for travelling light during your hikes or treks, all while sleeping under the stars. A quality alternative to a camping tent, the hiking hammock is generally made of parachute fabric or nylon, making this hammock very durable, lightweight, breathable, and compact. Whether you’re going on a hike, a survival course, kayak hiking, or simply staying in your garden, easily take your bivouac hammock with you!

How to choose your hiking hammock

Choosing your bivouac hammock wisely is essential if you want to fully enjoy your nights under the stars and other moments of relaxation. To choose your hiking hammock correctly, be sure to consider the following selection criteria. The size of your hammock and the capacity of your hiking hammock: know that the wider your hammock is, the more comfortably you will feel. Contrary to what one might think, you should not lie down in the length of your hiking hammock, but rather diagonally. This way, you can sleep as flat as possible, which is the ideal position for your back and posture. So, make sure to choose a hammock wide enough to lie diagonally. Ensure that the width and length of your hiking hammock suit you. Simple or double, also choose your bivouac hammock based on the number of people who will enjoy it. The material of your hammock: the bivouac hammock is made of parachute fabric or synthetic nylon. These materials are very compact (the size of a water bottle when stored) and very breathable. The weight of the hammock and the weight supported by the hammock: when you go on a hike or trek, remember that you will need to carry your bivouac hammock on your back. Be sure to choose a lightweight hiking hammock that meets your comfort needs. Normally, hammocks can support between 80 kg and 250 kg in static weight. Insulation and accessories: the hiking hammock is very useful for protecting you against humidity and the cold of the ground. However, it is not as warm as a bed, so be sure to think about bringing your sleeping bag if needed or a blanket to keep warm during the night. Several hammock accessories exist, such as hammocks with mosquito nets or a tarp to protect you from insects or bad weather during the night.
