The Want List: Five Hammocks to Hang Loose
Get your summer in full swing with one of these five stylish picks.
Call them the cradles of adulting. Few simple pleasures can beat rocking side to side in a giant sling, whether you’ve got a good book, a drink in hand, or sailing off into dreamland with an afternoon power nap.
Whether you’re posted up in the sun, the shade, or even in a cozy nook indoors, here are five sensational hammocks that rock in every sense of the word.
Backyard Duracord 55″ Hammock
L.L. Bean
The great thing about a classic design is that it never truly ages. This iconic number from L.L. Bean is just that, crafted from moisture-wicking DuraCord rope that’s as elegant as it is comfortable. Available in oatmeal or hunter green, it looks sharp strapped to a tree or bowed out on a stand — both mounting options are sold separately.
$279.00 at L.L. Bean
Chamego Hammock
ArteKura
This Brazilian textile hammock looks good inside or out. Handmade in Ceará, along Brazil’s Atlantic Coast, it’s available in blue and green-stripe designs, and when it’s not in use rolls right up into a neatly-packed cylinder — the loop doubles as a handle for easy toting. It even comes with a wall hook.

The Luxury Cushioned Hammock
Hammacher Schlemmer
Need a little more support? Try this luxe pillow-top option, composed of all-weather fabric with a beefy cumaru wood spreader bar. Comfortable and durable, it’s a tried-and-tested design you’ll find at some of the world’s top resorts. It’s available in five colors — a steel or Southern Cypress stand are available to add on.

The Hammock
Business & Pleasure
Quite literally from the same cloth as their popular vintage-style beach umbrellas, Business & Pleasure’s new hammock collection is as Instagram-worthy as you’d expect, replete with the brand’s trademark cotton fringing. While the padded design is one of the most comfortable ones out there, we equally obsessed with the 10 different colors and patterns it comes in.
$299.00 at Business & Pleasure Co.
Cotton Hammock with Tassel
Artissanos
Artfully crafted in Nicaragua, this handmade hammock is another aesthetic all-star, woven by hand from the finest natural cotton and stretched out with a renewable timber spreader bar. While the hardware and stand aren’t included, we’re confident this one will look good anywhere you put it.
