The hanging hammock chair is the latest outdoor craze. It is a descendant of the traditional rope hammock but the hammock chair provides upright cradling comfort. While no one can argue with the rejuvenating benefits of a backyard nap in a hammock, hammock chairs provide a different level of comfort. Hammocks are great for napping or day dreaming. A backyard hammock chair is great for having a conversation, reading a book or sitting around a camp fire. It is much easier to enjoy these activities sitting upright.

All of this is great, but the problems is where do you hang a hammock chair. While a hammock requires two trees or a hammock stand, a hammock chair only requires one overhead hanging point. This is ideal for anyone without a large backyard or mature trees. Most chairs will work with a deck joist or a functional stand that is designed to hang the chair on. The hammock chair stand was created to allow everyone to enjoy a hanging hammock swing or chair, regardless of the size of their deck, patio or balcony.

Hammock chairs are also being used in non-traditional ways. Boaters are attaching chairs to the mast of their sailboats. College students find ways to support a ceiling anchor and hang a hammock chair in their dorm or apartment.

Style and material choices for hammock chairs continue to evolve while fabric quality improves with each model change. Ultra violet (UV) protection is used to guard fabric from sunlight, drainage systems in the seats eliminate water pooling up from rain, and increased rope strength is just a few of the improvements that have been made to hammock chairs.

You can find a hammock chair at your local patio equipment store or at a home improvement supply center.
