Take a vacay now in your new Hatteras Hammock from The Hammock Source!

Hammocks are synonymous with the sizzle of summer. Our family doesn’t travel much in summer because the weather is ideal here. Staycation it is.

So we want our backyard to be a tranquil retreat. A place to unwind after a long days work. It’s time to enjoy summers simple pleasures. You simply must have a hammock!

And there’s nothing more relaxing than swaying in a hammock reading my two girls books and munching on Klondike Bars. 

Other times, I hold the baby and rock him back in forth in my pillowtop Hatteras Hammock. It lulls him to sleep when he’s cranky. Life doesn’t get any sweeter than this!

I love hammocks! We all work so hard in our jobs, garden and family life. It’s time to slow the pace of life down with hammock leisure time.

But a pillowtop hammock? Just as the name implies, it’s the plushest, fluffiest, comfiest hammock on planet earth. Your problems just fade away.

Goodbye stress. Hello happiness.

Twenty minutes in a hammock refreshes my brain and weary bones. I feel like a new women ready to tackle the rest of the day. (I still need to make dinner here!) It’s a mini-vacation and we all deserve that.

Did you know? The swaying motion of a hammock might also synchronize the brain to increase memory and help with sleep dysfunctions.

Where to hang your Hatteras Hammock from The Hammock Source?

You can hang a hammock indoors just as easily as outside. That’s exactly what I plan to do in the fall when our temperatures dramatically dip. We have a sun room that would accommodate this beautiful Hatteras Hammock nicely.

Why not keep using a hammock year-round? It’s a piece of furniture, after all. Well, a piece of furniture that allows you to sleep floating on air! Light as a feather.

Go ahead and hang your new Hatteras Hammock in the spare room or bedroom of your house or apartment for equal pleasure. In fact, some people insist they get a better nights sleep on a hammock than in an actual bed!

And don’t forget nap time. Midday snoozes are not just for the 2-year-old crowd anymore. Adults are now reaping the benefits of afternoon naps to refresh and recharge. Count me in!

While the Hatteras Hammock comes with all the hardware needed to hang it from a tree, you might want to consider buying a stand for it as well. It does make your hammock portable.

If I want to swing in shade I can, but if I feel like I could use a little color and warmth from the sun, it gets moved. Tom, where are you?

In a perfect world, I’d have a porch or a deck where I could hang my hammock between two beams. We have neither so that won’t work for us. But maybe this is the best option for you to explore? Porches and decks offer that element of privacy that a yard may not yield.

The hammock life with Hatteras Hammocks from The Hammock Source!

Like any good recipe, a hammock has to have all the right ingredients for the ultimate hammock experience. Starting with the rope and fabric then moving into the hardware and wood, all the details must strive for perfection.

This Hatteras Hammock from The Hammock Source doesn’t disappoint. So maybe Hatteras Hammocks didn’t invent the hammock, but they sure did reinvent it to perfection!

The Rope – Hatteras Hammocks starts by unspooling miles of quality synthetic yarns into multiple strands that are then precision-twisted and balanced into rope. Three lengths of that new rope are next precision-twisted and balanced to create the hardy, uncommonly heavy multi-ply that the weavers use for their signature hammocks. All the rope is synthetic and exceeds even the U.S. military’s exacting specifications for strength. It leads the hammock industry in quality, durability and softness.

• Solution-dyed DuraCord®, is their own top-of-the-line rope. It’s the most colorfast rope on the market, made for heavy wear and also resistant to staining, rotting, mold and mildew. Not to mention that it’s truly as soft as cotton!

• Their bright-white polyester rope is soft-spun for a comfort that likewise rivals cotton, but with an added durability for wonderfully weathering the great outdoors.

Picture

The Fabrics – Hatteras Hammocks uses only all-weather DuraCord® and Sunbrella® fabrics, solution-dyed, so the color isn’t dipped or washed in, but actually becomes part of the fabric thread fibers.

DuraCord® and Sunbrella®, among the most colorfast outdoor fabrics available today, also are resistant to staining, rot, mold and mildew. Not to mention they’re as soft as cotton to the touch!

• Their quilted hammocks are pillowed-up with polyester fiberfill batting, while their swing cushions are plumped with a thick layer of polyester Hollow Fiber PET. Each fiber is hollow (like a donut) and provides an increase in comfort by the air acting as an insulator, and is made from recycled plastic drink bottles.

• Hatteras Hammocks uses the vastly superior lockstitch for all sewing, not the simpler, more standard chain stitch, which can unravel a whole section of fabric in just seconds if accidentally snagged.

The Hardware – The largest in the industry, plus the industry’s heaviest steel to boot! On a hammock or swing, it’s the hanging chains and rings that bear the brunt of the stress.

• Hatteras Hammocks plates all of their hardware with zinc to protect against rust and ensure a longer outdoor life.

• Their signature one-piece ring-and-chain means the hammock chain assembly won’t fall apart during storage.

• Each of their hammocks comes with tree hooks, the hardware needed to permanently sling one of their personal relaxation stations between a couple of shady trees, or between beams on a porch or deck.

The Wood – Chosen not just for how good it looks, but also for how well it holds up.

•Cumaru, also known as Brazilian teak. They use this dense, richly grained hardwood for their hammock spreader bars, because it resists rotting, is virtually nonabsorbent and naturally weathers to a beautiful silver-gray. The South American Cumaru they buy for Hatteras Hammocks
® is harvested only from managed forests.

What’s so perfect about a pillowtop hammock from Hatteras Hammocks?

Maybe you’ve lounged in a pillowtop hammock. Then again, maybe you haven’t.

For those of you who haven’t, I offer you this word of caution. Once you plop yourself in, you won’t want to get out. Budget an hour. Okay, probably two.

Hatteras Hammocks are that comfortable. You will be lulled to sleep in no time at all.

Because when it comes to hammocks there’s a wide spectrum on the market. A cheap hammock offers you mediocre comfort. Big-box stores sell cheapo hammocks that will satisfy the kid crowd.

And to be blatantly honest, even those aren’t that cheap price-wise. Flimsy yes. Cheap no. Lacking in comfort, they are tough to get in and out of. No support whatsoever.

But we’ve matured. Our backs are demanding a little more support these days as we get, a-hem…older.

Enter: The Hatteras Hammocks Pillowtop Hammock. Drool-worthy. To make them over-the-top plushy, the bed is lock-stitched horizontally into seven thick and cozy connecting pillows.

The magic of this design is that it helps you recline while providing you with unparalleled back support, unusual in a hammock.

And it goes without saying that the patterns and textures of all the Hatteras Hammocks are gorgeously striking, right on trend for 2018. The hammock you want in your yard, garden, patio or spare room today!

Final thoughts to sway you….

Life is better in a hammock. No doubt about it. You work hard. I work hard. It’s time for a teeny tiny break. Leisure time. There’s not enough of it. Even your brain is begging to de-stress.

So adding a hammock to your backyard, patio, porch from The Hammock Source just makes sense.

And did you know?

The Hammock Source is the world’s largest manufacturer and seller of hammocks. Translation: They know what they are doing!

Wet sob story…

So I got a little muddleheaded and forgot to bring my hammock before this massive rain storm forcasted. The rain pounded down for over an hour.

My Hatteras Hammock was soaked through. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to use it the next day. You know, while Tom’s at work, the kid’s at summer recreation and the baby taking his nap. But miracles of miracles, it was dry as toast!

Just another distinctive detail of this product, fast-drying fabrics that still don’t retain water. And the materials certainly don’t skimp on the comfort factor either. Pillowtop Hammock from Hatteras…I’m telling you, it’s the way to live!
