A hammock can provide relaxation in a variety of places - but there are also other useful ways to use hammocks.
Before hanging your hammock, you should be able to answer the following questions:
Hanging Height and Distance
To lie comfortably in your hammock, the hanging height should be half of the hanging distance.
Example: For the organic hammock Flora Chilli with a hanging distance of 360cm, the hanging height should be 180 cm.
Fastening the Hammock
To ensure a comfortable and relaxing time in the hammock, attention should be paid to its fastening. There are many different fastenings with varying degrees of load capacity.
Is a fastening set included with your hammocks?
No, but we offer two different fastening sets suitable for all hammocks:
Below you will find an overview of the fastening options and what you should consider.
Hammock on a Tree
When fastening to trees, a few things must be observed:
You only have one tree?
That's not a problem, because with the help of a hammock stand, a wall, or a stake, you can "replace" the second tree.
Hammock on the Walls
Even when hanging the hammock on the wall, some things should be considered:
A baby hammock differs significantly from a regular hammock. In the following, we explain what you need to consider with baby hammocks and what their advantages and disadvantages are.
A baby hammock is a wonderful thing for parents and child. Here's why:
Especially when your child is sick or a "colicky baby," a baby hammock can provide relief. It nestles against the baby's body, which provides a sense of security. The gentle rocking motion also has an additional calming effect.
Note: If your child is ill, you should discuss the use of the baby hammock with your pediatrician.
Babies initially have a rounded spine due to their posture in the womb. However, the curvature gradually lessens over time. This uncurving process develops very slowly and should not be forced. Therefore, lying surfaces that support the rounded back are beneficial for the child.
Furthermore, the baby hammock aids in the development of the little body

A baby hammock is especially portable. It can be set up anywhere in the home. This way, your little one can always be near you. This is very important, as closeness and security are particularly important in a child's first years.
The classic baby hammock and the spring cradle. We explain how to differentiate between them.
Classic Baby Hammock: The baby hammock is similar to a normal hammock but significantly smaller. It is usually attached to a frame. It is typically used during the day and in the presence of parents, as not every baby hammock is "fall-proof."
Spring Cradle: A spring cradle is attached to a spring that allows for gentle up and down swinging. This has a calming effect on the baby. A spring cradle is normally "fall-proof," meaning it can also be repurposed as a baby bed at night.
A baby hammock will naturally become too small for your little one at some point. For this reason, and due to the often minor signs of wear, you can simply sell the baby hammock again.
On the other hand, if you are considering buying a used baby hammock, you should have the opportunity to check the product for signs of wear in advance. The frame should not be rusted or bent. The fabric should not have any holes or excessively extreme signs of wear.
