And aside from its good looks, it’s made from durable cotton canvas that was designed to withstand the elements. Plus, it's completely UV- and stain-resistant and machine washable.

2. Anyoo Tassel Hammock

Best Value

Made of breathable colorfast cotton, this chic tasseled hammock is skin-friendly, quick-drying, and so lightweight, that it can fold into a drawstring pouch. It also comes with two carabiners and two nylon tree straps that make for an easy setup—just hang it between two trees or attach it to a stand, and you’re good to go. What’s more, it’s made from high-quality cotton that’s machine washable, and it can hold up outdoors without losing its color.

Tiipii

3. Tiipii Aluminum And Canvas Daybed

Most Splurge-Worthy

Part hammock, part daybed (part nirvana), the TiiPii is the *ultimate* way to kick back, chill out, and watch the world go by. Its design features a portable swinging daybed that can be free-hung or paired with a chic aluminum stand, and it’s big enough to seat 3-4 adults comfortably. Our favorite part? It takes just a few minutes to set up, and it packs down to a lightweight (included) travel bag that makes it easily transportable. So, whether you’re looking to cozy up for an outdoor movie night or go backyard glamping with the kids—the TiiPii Bed is your summer’s secret weapon. Oh, and in case you were wondering, its weather- and UV- resistant fabric is also machine washable.

The actual hammock is big enough for two people, and the 9-foot steel frame supports up to 450 pounds (but that doesn’t mean you have to share). Plus, there are more than 30 designs and colorways, and you can choose the level of durability you want with options in polyester, cotton, mesh or Sunbrella fabric. Out of 25,000-plus ratings, 87 percent of reviewers awarded this hammock 5 stars (and we know Amazon reviewers don’t play around).

5. Lydney Hanging Chaise Lounger With Stand

Best for Backyards

The brand describes this as a “hanging chaise lounger,” mostly because of its breezy cotton canvas fabric and adjustable design. Not only do we love how this guy looks poolside, but its generous 158-inch width can hold up to 440 pounds at a time. Oh, and did we mention that included stand also comes with an overhead umbrella that will keep you comfortably shaded as you nap?

6. Business & Pleasure Co. Hammock

Best Aesthetic

Functional yet fashionable, this cotton canvas and fringed trimmed hammock is Instagram’s best friend. It’s made of lightweight, breathable cotton that’s coated in a water-resistant finish and the 86.5-inch length allows plenty of room for two. But of course, the real show-stopper is its striped fringe design, (available in navy, grey and yellow) which will make you swear you’re on a Mediterranean island — even if you are just chillin’ in your backyard.

7. Firiner Mosquito Net Hammock

Best for Camping

Now, if you’re serious about camping (or just hate bugs and rain), this mosquito net hammock is where it’s at. Not only does this feature a built-in mosquito net with small and dense mesh to stop the bites, but it also comes with a waterproof tarp (so you won’t be bombarded with pouring rain while you’re asleep). The set comes with everything you need — from tree straps to metal stakes—and it holds up to 400 pounds, allowing one to two people to stretch out and move around comfortably at night.

It comes with a cushioned seat and a spreader bar that makes it easy to get in and out of, and its tough rope suspension can comfortably support up to 265 pounds.

It supports up to 450 pounds and is constructed with super-stretchy cotton fabric (so you can have peace of mind as you snuggle with your S.O.), and its hardwood spreader makes it easy to get in and out of. The hammock comes with all of the essential hardware, so all you have to do is scout the perfect location and get to lounging.
