Hang Loose: 13 Hammock Innovations for Max Relaxation

06 Jun

[ By SA Rogers in Design & Furniture & Decor. ]

Take your summer lounging to the next level with hammocks that attach to your kayak or the roof of your car, fill up with water like a hot tub or double as a soccer goal. And if you’re stuck at work daydreaming about outdoor adventures, there’s even a stealthy hammock that clamps onto table surfaces so you can hide under your desk and nap.

Hammocraft Floating Hammock

Designed for use by 2-4 people, the modular Hammocraft system lets you lounge while cruising down gentle rivers and and lakes. It can be assembled on top of kayaks, paddle boards, river rafts or on dry land. Can you think of a more comfortable way to cruise through a beautiful natural setting?

Trailnest Roof Rack Hammock

Camp out under the stars virtually anywhere your vehicle can take you with the Trailnest, a simple hammock stand that clamps onto your roof rack in a one-person or two-person setup. It folds up for easy transportation, works with any hammock and gives you uninterrupted views of your surroundings while keeping you well above all the critters that scurry around on the ground at night.

‘Vessel’ Hammock-Shaped Bathtub

Made of strong carbon fiber wrapped around a foam core, which insulates the water to keep it hotter for longer periods of time, the ‘Vessel’ by Splinterworks makes bath time more relaxing than ever. The unique design mounts to the wall with steel brackets and empties into a drain in the floor.

Hydro Hammock Instant Hot Tub

The Hydro Hammock is an instant portable hot tub you can set up almost anywhere, using the accompanying suitcase-like water pump and heater to fill it up from a hose or body of water. It’s made of sealed synthetic high-tensile-strength fabric that can support the weight of two adults and fifty gallons of water.

Dymaxion Sleep Garden Hammock

Installed over a bed of fragrant, relaxing herbs like lavender and rosemary, the Dymaxion Sleep structure is a network of nets inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s Dymaxion World Map – an unfolded icosahedron. Created by Jane Hutton and Adrian Blackwell, the structure provides a large-scale hammock for groups to lounge outdoors.

Flexible and portable, this hanging hot tub hammock can be suspended from trees or other supports or tucked into scooped-out depressions along sandy beaches or on snowy mountainsides, compact enough to be checked on a plane with its associated portable heating unit.

The highly-mobile Hydro Hammock requires only 20 gallons (less than half of a typical bathtub and supports use by two adults to be used as a hot tub and can be used to line existing voids or suspended in midair. An accompanying device pumps water from wherever it is available and heats it electrically along the way – an eventual goal for future models is to use solar heat so no batteries or other external power source will be required. The extra-durable, high-tensile-strength material supports up to 700 pounds and its canvass-like surfaces give it traction for users.

Aside from its core function as a hot tub, the heavy-duty fabric and associated pump can be reconfigured to turn the system into an outdoor shower or left empty and simply used as a traditional hammock. Its primary target audience, however, is people who wish to have a retreat from extreme environments, taking a hot (and optionally: bubble-filled) vessel with them for breaks from cold ocean waters in the summer or freezing outdoor temperatures in the winter.

More from its makers: “Durable and portable hammocks ready for soothing hot or cool refreshing water. Relax, rejuvenate and fully stretch out in comfort beyond the constraints of an iron or fiberglass bathtub. Equipped with a portable water heater system, LPG or electric. Hydro Hammocks require less water than bathtubs and have a slip resistant texture. The shapes are adjustable and are easy to set up either fully or partially suspended.”
