Plastic Hammock Concept Kinda Negates the Whole Point of Garden Swingers

This concept design for a hammock is very admirable, but it fails on many levels. One, it takes away the enjoyment of watching people wrestle unsexily with a bunch of string puporting to be a bed. Two, I am not sure how keen I am on plastic parts (unless, of course, you're talking about Action Man, in which case, Bring. Him. On.) Three, it's not as portable as a an all-rope hammock.

Hammock Sofa: Bring Out the Swinger in You

Despite all that, I have reservations about this schwingtastic object. More »

Tropical Island Hammock

Here's the solution: the Tropical Island Hammock. Set it up anywhere and if you squint hard enough you just might think you're hanging from a couple of coconut palms on some uncharted desert isle, for a three-hour tour. A three-hour tour. More »
