The true origin of the hammock may never be known, but popular opinion is that the first was used over 1000 years ago in Central America and was made from the bark of the Hamack tree. The first use was not for relaxation or recreation at all, but was used for protection from insects and the elements. Because the hammock was easy to make and versatile enough to hang anywhere it was perfect for traveling and hiking.

Fast forward to the rat race today and hammocks are used to sit back, relax and unwind after a long week at the office. Hammocks can be found in one form or another in most geographic areas. The traditional hammock, which was designed to hang between 2 trees and hold one person has taken on many different shapes and sizes.

Not only has the styling of the hammock evolved, but the shape as well. For those who would rather enjoy the comfort of a hammock while sitting upright, the hammock chair was invented.

Almost everyone would love to have a hammock, but not everyone has a backyard, let alone a backyard with trees strategically positioned to support hammock products.
