Why BobVila Chose SUNCREAT

In its editorial review, BobVila highlighted the qualities that helped SUNCREAT's quick-drying hammock stand out among outdoor living products.

"This freestanding hammock from Suncreat offers an excellent mix of comfort, ease of use, and value. Made from breathable Textilene fabric, it dries quickly and resists weather wear, making it durable enough to leave out as spring and summer conditions change.

The 78.7-by-55.1-inch bed has 55-inch wood spreader bars, hand-woven ropes, and a removable stuffed pillow, allowing it to lie flat and hold two adults totaling up to 450 pounds.

Because the entire unit weighs just 36 pounds, it’s easy to move into the shade for an afternoon nap and back out for a bit of vitamin D."

What the tester says: “This is a classic backyard hammock. It’s incredibly comfortable for either one or two people, and its lightweight design makes it easy to move.” — Michelle Larson, Product Reviews Tester & Writer, BobVila
