First you will need to choose the style of hammock you want to give. Hammocks come in many styles and fabrics. The three most popular types are rope, fabric, and string.
Rope
The classic rope hammock is usually made of a polypropylene mix or cotton. They can be hung between two trees or on a stand. They are more durable than other hammocks on the market. They key is to remember that the smaller the space between the ropes, the more comfortable the hammock will be. Rope hammocks don't conform to the body like other styles. The drawback of rope is that you are left with a waffle pattern on your body afterward.
Fabric
Fabric Hammocks have been around for thousands of years, they are still hand woven in some countries today. Fabric hammocks come in two styles, those with spreader bars and those without. Hammocks with spreader bars do not conform and envelop the body like those without spreader bars, although both are comfortable. Fabric models have a close weave and therefore offer little ventilation. There are several fabric hammocks on the market that are made of synthetic fabric that will whisk moisture away from the body.
String
String hammocks or also referred to as Mayan and date back to over 1,000 years. They are woven in a web-like design to conform to your body shape which allows maximum comfort. String offers superior ventilation compared to other styles. Many believe they are the most comfortable hammocks available on the market today.
Once you’ve selected which type of hammock suites your friend or family member, you are ready to make the purchase. A hammock is an incredible gift that will provide a lifetime of luxury and relaxation. You may even want to purchase one for yourself while you’re at it! |
