Vivere Double Cotton Hammock with Stand (9 ft)

For a backyard without two well-spaced trees, this is the simplest complete answer: a wide cotton hammock and a 9-foot powder-coated steel stand in one box for $129.99. The 87 by 63 inch bed is big enough for two to lounge, and the set is rated to 450 lb. In independent testing the frame stayed free of creaking or shifting even with two people aboard, though lining up the sections took some muscle and the first assembly ran past 15 minutes, with no tools needed. Cotton feels soft and breathes on hot afternoons, but it's the part that ages, and Vivere recommends bringing the hammock indoors in bad weather. Measure first: the stand needs about 110 by 47 inches of level ground.
