Who doesn’t love a good hammock? After a day with the rod and the reel, a hammock offers you the relaxation you’ve been craving. And don’t worry: Hammocks have evolved quite a bit since we first became infatuated with them when the gang on TV’s “Gilligan’s Island” used them after setting ground on the shore of an uncharted desert isle. Truth is, there’s a hammock out there for any outdoor adventure – and ones indoors too. Here are our favorites.

You’ll be lugging enough gear to the campsite so why should your hammock weigh you down? We love this model for its light weight and portability. Attach the hammock to two trees or anything sturdy and start relaxing in the great outdoors.

ENO, Eagles Nest Outfitters DoubleNest Lightweight Camping Hammock, 1 to 2 Person
This model weighs just 19 ounces but stretches out to more than 9 feet long and 6 feet wide. ENO

We know the dilemma: You’re craving a hammock but you’re not sure where you’ll end up using it most often – by the pool, on the beach, in the woods. The DoubleNest was designed for every destination.

Brazilian-style hammocks are known for their “cocoon effect.” If that means they’re the perfect way to spend an afternoon or night asleep, then sign us up. Plus, we love the idea of sharing the space with our kids and pets.
