Quilted-weave Hammock--Napping Outdoors in Luxury
I've always enjoyed hammocks, and if I could fit one on the balcony of my condo, I probably would (I'm still eyeballing the compact XChair hammock). It's just nice to read or nap outside on a summer day, enjoying a breeze that you don't get if you stay inside the house.
If you've got a good tree to use, hammocks don't cost too much, but if you need a free-standing hammock, expect to pay $200 and up. Now if you want real luxury, check out this quilted-weave model from Brookstone.
"Individual padded strips are interwoven for a luxurious lofted effect that allows the air to circulate more freely, keeping you cool. Instead of a cushion atop a network of ropes, the padding is actually the hammock itself. Your body only touches plush SoftWeave® material, resulting in even weight distribution and unprecedented comfort."
Yay, for plushness! The hammock is over-sized, too, so it can support two adults or up to 450 pounds.
The hammock is $200 or you can get a package for $350 that includes a stand and the hardware to set everything up. Alas, the quilted-weave pillow extra.
