We absolutely love it. However, after 6 months thn the frame is slightly cracked and I don’t see how to contact anyone for a spare part.
I would still recommend it!
Really pleased with this hammock, good price compared with other brands and stand is well designed so it is very compact again compared with other designs. Currently have it set up indoors but can’t wait to use it outside in the summer. Great choice of colours too.
Works as it should but the piles don’t feel like they will last very long and after one season of use are already rusting in places. Fabric hammock part is brilliant.
I always wanted a hammock and finally I managed to get it. Very easy to assemble, a nice bag to carry it anywhere. Good for both inside and outside. It’s a bit too cold outdoors now, so I left it in the living room by the fireplace and I definitely recommend this hammock to everyone.
Amazing hammock – so easy to put together, no tools or expertise needed. Can be assembled and disasembled super quickly, and by one person – no help needed. Super comfy, super sturdy, love that I can take it with me (we just took it camping for the weekend). The dog loves it too.
Well made, seems stable and secure, and very comfortable. Overall a good buy, amd am pleased with it. Haven’t yet used the included carry case, as it is a permanent fixture of my living room.
However, one design flaw: the hook for the hammock on the frame is attached using a bolt that goes through the frame. This is secured using a wing-nut on the inside of the frame. Unfortunately, it is pretty common that the wing nut, and the rest of the bolt, sticks out far enough to dig into the hammock when it is being sat on. This results in a bolt/wing nut sticking into your back occasionally in the worst case, but it also rubs against the cotton hammock, which I assume would shorten its life as it gets worn.
I have been after a hammock for some time now and i am very glad I went for it. Easy to assemble, sturdy and comfy to lie in and good value – sadly I waited a little too late and have not used it that much so will be packing it up soon for next summer. Very pleased with i
We bought this for camping, as a way of chilling outside the tent, it was so simple to set up and extremely comfort, 2 minutes to fully set up and 2 minutes to pack away into the carry bag…a fantastic new addition to our camping equipment.
It arrived in a pretty small box so I wasn’t sure what to say expect but the reviews I read sounded like it could be a great hammock. I unboxed it and following instructions did out it together. It was so easy, took me a few minutes tops. I was super impressed with how easy it was, how sturdy the hammock is. Two people fit in there comfortably, we loved using it weather permitting. Looking forward to using it again next year.
It’s easy to assemble and to take down once the days start to get cold. It comes with a colourful hammock a nice case to keep all the poles and the hammock in. Great for large and small gardens, specially if you don’t have big enough trees. It’s much cheaper than fixing poles.
Love this hammock. Have a traditional hammock which we used at our old house but new build means no established trees so had to do without . until now.
Easy to assemble and little room required. Fab addition to our garden.
You think you’re comfortable at home on your sofa. Or your new outdoor chair and table set. You’re not. You haven’t lived until you’ve got yourself this hammock. However you want to sit or lie, it’s got you. Never been so comfortable. You won’t regret it. Most likely, you’ll get yourself a second or start buying them for special birthday presents for your family and friends!
We love this hammock! We only have a small garden but this is a great addition that we’ve been enjoying all summer. It ensembles easily and once up the whole family enjoy it. It’s so comfy and just great fun. It doesn’t take up too much room and partially disassembly (removing the arms) allows it to be tucked out the way or it’s only a couple more bolts to completely disassemble and can go in the storage bag.
So comfortable. Dangerous as you easily fall asleep in it. I am a big bloke and this hammock is copes without an issue Description is correct as to weight capability Cover easily slips off if it starts to rain. Highly recommend this.
Background/light product research:
I was weighing up getting one of these portable hammocks for a while and searching a few different products before opting for this one. There are similar products for cheaper, but this one is of a respectable quality, bearing in mind that the prices of cheaper alternatives still cost a fair amount and tend to have an increased chance of using cheaper materials. As a rule I try to avoid going too cheap on any item that goes between myself and the ground e.g. shoes, chairs, mattresses…your back and feet will thank you.
Assembly:
It is easy and fairly quick to assemble: 5 finger tightened bolts, 1 of which can stay in, that secure 5 sturdy metal tubes. The hammock hooks are adjustable and tightened with wing nuts. The fabric is nice and fits 1 very comfortable or 2 slightly less comfortably (check maximum reccomended weight).
There are also 2 spare rubber feet, and the bag the set comes in is good quality.
Usage:
This has been ideal for me in a garden that doesn’t have trees to use for attachment points, and I have also used it for camping as well as in the living room for fun.
The fact it can be disassembled into a carriable bag is very convenient.
TL;DR/Summary:
Overall I can’t find much fault with this product and would reccomend it for the summer months especially if you have a garden or enjoy camping, but do check other alternatives and get a sense of average pricing. This isn’t the cheapest possible option but you can tell that it has had good funding in production.
I love how it comes in a bag that easily fits everything inside for storing away in winter. The hammock part attaches really easily and it’s comfy to lie in. It claims to fit 2 people but I’m not sure how light they need to be because every now and again my bum touches the frame on the floor if I’m sat wrong…!
I have purchased two of these. One for ourselves and one as a gift. Both times the hammock was reduced to eighty something pounds. So it is worth keeping your eye on for reductions. This may seem expensive but it is solid and can stand outside all summer. The hammock goes into the washing machine at the end of the summer and is then packed away into its carrier ready for next year. No doubt this will last quite a few years. I had mine 2 years already. Pay more and buy once. You can get similar for half the price but they don’t last.
I was super sceptical that a hammock in its own stand would work for a larger man like myself, but I’m so massively impressed. I opted for this one because it said XL size and it’s definitely massive – but bigger the better for something like this in my opinion. The material is thick and strong, the stand is perfectly stable and I love that it comes with a carry case that carries -the whole frame-… definitely didn’t expect that and will make this easy to pack away over winter. I’m gonna order a second one for my partner because we decided we don’t want to share.
It’s comfortable, was easy to assemble and looks nice. However, I left it in the garden and one of hooks snapped and came off. I am struggling to find a replacement now
I have been umming and ahhing over getting a hammock for ages. I asked colleagues and was recommended this one, and I am not disappointed! So simple to put together, extra spares of parts that may go missing, a great case and a really stable design. I’m not a light person so I was a little worried whether I would break the material as some reviews have said but I am now confident that there is zero chance of that, assuming you don’t wear clothes with sharp bits on them. Took a little to get used to getting in and out but even that had easy to follow instructions. I now leave the frame set up in the garden and bring the hammock in at night as it is so easy to unhook. Wish I had got one years ago.
Awesome product. Quality hammock and sturdy base. I bought this to relax in the garden when I’d finished a night shift, and to have a few hours of sleep before going to work. It’s perfect for what I want and so comfortable. It’s easily big enough for me, I’m 16 stone and well built with broad shoulders but have masses of room. If it was any easier to put together it would erect itself. Takes no longer than 5 minutes to erect and you’re ready to relax and soak up the sun. Or if you’re me, have a kip. Goodnight and sweet dreams.
Very comfortable! I’m 125kg and it holds me no problem. it is a very attractive product and very simple to build. The instructions do not advise that if you are heavier or using 2 people you need to lower the hooks down so please take care!
True the hammock itself does not guarantee the weather on a tropical island but it really is so relaxing lying in it, sensing the natural swing and watching the clouds go by.
The hammock stand is very easy to put together with just five poles that slot onto one and other. Simple screws keep everything in place and are easy to fit. The whole thing can be constructed in a matter of minutes with only one person.
There are two hooks that screw into the arms of the stand. These can be positioned at different heights to adjust the height of the hammock.
The hammock itself is made of nice thick cotton with sturdy looking ropes. It is designed as a double hammock and comfortably took two adults sitting in it together.
Personally I enjoy my hammock to myself (terrible I know) and find there is a little bit extra fabric than is needed. Although in the less than predictable UK weather I found it nice to wrap myself up in the extra layers.
The whole thing can be packed away into the enclosed storage bag. As long as you store everything in neatly it will be fine. You can then carry around the bag but it is fairly heavy so would suggest limiting this to moving it from the shed/garage to the garden!
Personally I haven’t wanted to leave the stand out in the rain and have chosen to pack it away each night. I’m sure it would withstand some weathering but I have opted to keep it dry.
This is a bit of an extravagant purchase but it’s so relaxing and worth every penny. The quality is great and I love that it can be packed away when not in use.
I shopped around a lot before I went with this hammock and I’m very glad I did. Even for someone as DIY stunted as myself it was easy to put together and immediately clear it was very sturdy.
I’ve been using it for around a month now, I leave up the stand permanently and each day (when sunny) hook up the actual hammock which is so easy and takes only a few seconds.
The hammock itself is very sturdy, I’m a large person and at no point has it felt strained. I find it incredibly comfortable and if for any reason needed another hammock I wouldn’t hesitate to buy this one again.
I love this hammock. I’ve never owned a hammock before but my hubby has spent lots of time in them and we both love this hammock! It’s so easy to assemble with one long pole along the length on the floor and two end pieces which screw easily in place. Then the two uprights which hold the hammock up. You can adjust the hooks on the outside to set the tension of the hammock – I’ve got both of mine on the third holes down from the top and find this just perfect. The fabric is lovely and feels strong and sturdy. When you sit in it, it feels so secure, not like you’re going to rip through it! I really love this product, just sad that the weather has turned now! I note that some people have said about the frame going rusty but honestly. Why would you leave it outside in the UK when you’re not using it. It comes with a bag to pack it neatly away! FIVE STARS!!!
his is one of my best buys ever! I was going to get an egg swing seat, but they’re expensive and take up a lot of room. very glad I bought this instead. the frame is sturdy and the material nice and strong. it can support me, a teenager and the dog at the same time. nice feeling of being cocooned, so comfy. also easy to just unhook the hammock to store in the shed each night so it doesn’t get damp.
my teens share it and actually talk to each other while chilling outdoors. everybody loves it (except yer man, who is probably afraid of ending up on ‘you’ve been framed’ 🙂 but no accidents yet!)
Brilliant, wish I’d bought one years ago. This one was significantly cheaper than some of the others on Amazon so I’d been a little worried about quality when I ordered. I need not have done, it looks and feels very well made and is extremely robust. It even comes with a carrying case and a few spare parts. Assembly is a breeze, there’s only five parts which slot easily together and then secured with four clamping knobs. Takes two minutes. And wow is it comfy, much better that a sun lounger (and the dog loves it too). The only real problem I had was trying to persuade members of my family to bring me beers when I was lying in it (my ears are still hurting from the verbal abuse).
Absolutely blown away with how sturdy and comfortable this hammock is for the price!
It’s so comfortable and feels really well made! Now I am not the lightest person either and I feel so secure in it! Definitely will be buying one for my parents too! Love that it comes with a carry case too! It’s SO easy to assemble only took me five mins!
UPDATED REVIEW!
9pm that’s later and I still adore this hammock! I have had it up on and off over winter and can honestly say I am super impressed. Only thing I have noticed is that it has had a massive price jump! I paid 75 for mine last July! It’s at 120 today!!! But it’s definitely worth the money 12/10
A 10 year old could put this together. We’ve watched red squirrels from our twin hammocks, they don’t know we are there, we are just gently swinging lumps on the lawn so great for watching wildlife. Easily dragged about to mow underneath, leave the metal frame up and just fold the hammock and keep in the shed in its very handy carry bag. Once you are in you feel the complete absence of pressure points on your body, it’s almost like floating, we regularly nod off for a short snooze. Buy two if you can afford it because I bought one for my husbands birthday and then I wouldn’t get out of it so I bought another. Not sure how long they will last but will take good care of them, make sure the fabric doesn’t sit out and get wet etc. Be kind to yourself and buy it.
This is a really great hammock and I loved it. I say loved because now I am unable to use it because we went camping and a family’s kids came over and played on it, loosened one of the screws and it was lost in the long grass. There’s nothing clear about ordering replacement screws and I am not buying a new one… That’s why I’m only giving four stars because it would be easy for the retailer to include four screws (two actual, and two replacement) to allow for lost screws. I wouldn’t mind paying a bit extra for that, but no… Not been able to use this for the last year because of this. And not wasting money on buying a new one all because one screw is missing.
Purchased this hammock a while ago now and its my favourite piece of garden furniture. Really easy to assemble, 2 minutes tops, the frame comes in 5 pieces and 4 screwsa and is very sturdy. The hammock itself is cotton and very comfortable. I have the double version and you can get 2 adults in it but i will say its not too comfortable. It takes the weight fine, my husband is 14 stone and i’m 10. Love the bag that comes with it so you can easily pack it away making it ideal to take with you camping but only if you have a car! It is quite heavy. Now the weather is better i tend to leave the frame up and just take off the hammock at the end of the day. You can buy cheaper hammocks but i think the quality of this one is well worth the price and can see it lasting many years.
So easy to put together, not needing any tools to do so and had it put together in less that 10 minutes.
You can adjust the height at which you have your hammock positioned, depending on how many people are going to be going in there, basically depending on the wait on weight of who is going within the hammock and on your preference.
This is great as everyone as their own preference when it comes to comfort and relaxing and it’s really easy to quickly make that adjustment. You can even have your head higher than feet, if you wish, or visa versa.
Me and my partner can fit in this together nicely and it has been great over the last couple of week when we’ve had some sun. Chilling out in here either on the weekend or after a long stressful day in work.
Yer… V comfy… I purchased one of these hammocks two weeks ago…n then another this week. I was originally looking at sunbeds n these caught my eye.
V sturdy frame, v easy to put together. Love the cotton material of the hammock. Not tried washing them yet but I’d b happy to put them in washin m/c on low wash.
I’ve sat 2 feet of the frame upon the edge of a large, thick plastic sheet. When it rains/for overnight convenience I detatch the hammock(takes 2 seconds to unhook it) fold it n it stow indoors, then lift the plastic cover over the frame, tuck the other edge of cover under the two other feet, secure/tighten the cover round the frame with clothes pegs… n its easy to undo nx mornin. Ive suffered on/off with uncomfy back problems, nothing major, using this hammock gives good support n it’s v easy to fall asleep in it… hence b sURe to place it under shade. I’d swap my traditional bed for this 🙂 this design allows air to circulate; pillow n a blanket under/on oneself, side table with a drink & good book is all 1 needs to b supercomfortable for hours 🙂
It took longer to break down the cardboard box or came in so that I could recycle it than it took to assemble the hammock. That’s how quick and easy it is.
There’s a video that shows you how to do it on the manufacturer’s website.
It’s incredibly simple and fast.
I’d suggest you start with the hammock hooks in the middle holes. It looks too tight at first but the hammock need to do kind of an initial stretch.
I watched a couple of videos about how to lie comfortably in this style of hammock (basically if you lie diagonally across the hammock rather than as instinct tells you “in line with the frame” it becomes the most comfortable bed you’ve ever lain in.
I absolutely love it and have spent as much time as possible in it since it arrived too days ago.
Tiny niggle: the metal bits that sit in the hammock rope “eye” have nothing holding them in position – they aren’t sewn or glued into place so I worry about losing them.
This review is for the Vivere Double Cotton Combo Tropical.
The ultimate luxury! Something that I never realised I needed but so happy to own.
From opening the box, the build quality of the hammock and frame are evident. Solid, fairly heavy metal poles that fit together confidently, within 10 minutes it was built. Each pole slots in to another and is held in place using a threaded hand tightened bolt (and a further sign of excellent customer service, spare ones are provided). The hammock slings over each end and on to hooked bolts threaded through the frame. Whilst at first glance these bolts seemed perhaps the filmiest part of the setup but once in the hammock, there was no concern. The hanging height of the hammock can be adjusted by moving the hooked bolts up or down the frame as desired. The rubber feet on the base prevent it from slipping around and the whole thing even comes with a heavy duty carry / storage case. To top it off the cotton hammock itself can be tumble dried if needed.
It does take a bit of practice getting in and out if your not so nimble and the whole thing can tip if you try and get in too far towards and end. It advertises as being able to support up to 450 pounds in weight and while I’ve not tested it to it’s limits, it has had two adults or several children in it and it felt perfectly safe.
We absolutely love it. However, after 6 months thn the frame is slightly cracked and I don’t see how to contact anyone for a spare part.
I would still recommend it!
Really pleased with this hammock, good price compared with other brands and stand is well designed so it is very compact again compared with other designs. Currently have it set up indoors but can’t wait to use it outside in the summer. Great choice of colours too.

Easy to assemble and use. I am very happy with the bag that comes with it. Everything comfortably fits in and can be carried around.
Brilliant hammock very sturdy and tasked alot of weight. I’m sure my friends come round to use my hammock more than to see me!

Easy to assemble / quick drying and sturdy base
Fits two people when you sit side by side with legs hanging out!
Only complaint is when you sit solo in it it kind of surrounds you entirely like a cocoon.

I was going to get an egg swing seat, but they’re expensive and take up a lot of room. very glad I bought this instead. the frame is sturdy and the material nice and strong. it can support me, a teenager and the dog at the same time. nice feeling of being cocooned, so comfy. also easy to just unhook the hammock to store in the shed each night so it doesn’t get damp.
my teens share it and actually talk to each other while chilling outdoors. everybody loves it (except yer man, who is probably afraid of ending up on ‘you’ve been framed’ 🙂 but no accidents yet!)
Brilliant, wish I’d bought one years ago. This one was significantly cheaper than some of the others on Amazon so I’d been a little worried about quality when I ordered. I need not have done, it looks and feels very well made and is extremely robust. It even comes with a carrying case and a few spare parts. Assembly is a breeze, there’s only five parts which slot easily together and then secured with four clamping knobs. Takes two minutes. And wow is it comfy, much better that a sun lounger (and the dog loves it too). The only real problem I had was trying to persuade members of my family to bring me beers when I was lying in it (my ears are still hurting from the verbal abuse).
Absolutely blown away with how sturdy and comfortable this hammock is for the price!
It’s so comfortable and feels really well made! Now I am not the lightest person either and I feel so secure in it! Definitely will be buying one for my parents too! Love that it comes with a carry case too! It’s SO easy to assemble only took me five mins!
UPDATED REVIEW!
9pm that’s later and I still adore this hammock! I have had it up on and off over winter and can honestly say I am super impressed. Only thing I have noticed is that it has had a massive price jump! I paid 75 for mine last July! It’s at 120 today!!! But it’s definitely worth the money 12/10
A 10 year old could put this together. We’ve watched red squirrels from our twin hammocks, they don’t know we are there, we are just gently swinging lumps on the lawn so great for watching wildlife. Easily dragged about to mow underneath, leave the metal frame up and just fold the hammock and keep in the shed in its very handy carry bag. Once you are in you feel the complete absence of pressure points on your body, it’s almost like floating, we regularly nod off for a short snooze. Buy two if you can afford it because I bought one for my husbands birthday and then I wouldn’t get out of it so I bought another. Not sure how long they will last but will take good care of them, make sure the fabric doesn’t sit out and get wet etc. Be kind to yourself and buy it.
This is a really great hammock and I loved it. I say loved because now I am unable to use it because we went camping and a family’s kids came over and played on it, loosened one of the screws and it was lost in the long grass. There’s nothing clear about ordering replacement screws and I am not buying a new one… That’s why I’m only giving four stars because it would be easy for the retailer to include four screws (two actual, and two replacement) to allow for lost screws. I wouldn’t mind paying a bit extra for that, but no… Not been able to use this for the last year because of this. And not wasting money on buying a new one all because one screw is missing.
Purchased this hammock a while ago now and its my favourite piece of garden furniture. Really easy to assemble, 2 minutes tops, the frame comes in 5 pieces and 4 screwsa and is very sturdy. The hammock itself is cotton and very comfortable. I have the double version and you can get 2 adults in it but i will say its not too comfortable. It takes the weight fine, my husband is 14 stone and i’m 10. Love the bag that comes with it so you can easily pack it away making it ideal to take with you camping but only if you have a car! It is quite heavy. Now the weather is better i tend to leave the frame up and just take off the hammock at the end of the day. You can buy cheaper hammocks but i think the quality of this one is well worth the price and can see it lasting many years.
So easy to put together, not needing any tools to do so and had it put together in less that 10 minutes.
You can adjust the height at which you have your hammock positioned, depending on how many people are going to be going in there, basically depending on the wait on weight of who is going within the hammock and on your preference.
This is great as everyone as their own preference when it comes to comfort and relaxing and it’s really easy to quickly make that adjustment. You can even have your head higher than feet, if you wish, or visa versa.
Me and my partner can fit in this together nicely and it has been great over the last couple of week when we’ve had some sun. Chilling out in here either on the weekend or after a long stressful day in work.
Yer… V comfy… I purchased one of these hammocks two weeks ago…n then another this week. I was originally looking at sunbeds n these caught my eye.
V sturdy frame, v easy to put together. Love the cotton material of the hammock. Not tried washing them yet but I’d b happy to put them in washin m/c on low wash.
I’ve sat 2 feet of the frame upon the edge of a large, thick plastic sheet. When it rains/for overnight convenience I detatch the hammock(takes 2 seconds to unhook it) fold it n it stow indoors, then lift the plastic cover over the frame, tuck the other edge of cover under the two other feet, secure/tighten the cover round the frame with clothes pegs… n its easy to undo nx mornin. Ive suffered on/off with uncomfy back problems, nothing major, using this hammock gives good support n it’s v easy to fall asleep in it… hence b sURe to place it under shade. I’d swap my traditional bed for this 🙂 this design allows air to circulate; pillow n a blanket under/on oneself, side table with a drink & good book is all 1 needs to b supercomfortable for hours 🙂
It took longer to break down the cardboard box or came in so that I could recycle it than it took to assemble the hammock. That’s how quick and easy it is.
There’s a video that shows you how to do it on the manufacturer’s website.
It’s incredibly simple and fast.
I’d suggest you start with the hammock hooks in the middle holes. It looks too tight at first but the hammock need to do kind of an initial stretch.
I watched a couple of videos about how to lie comfortably in this style of hammock (basically if you lie diagonally across the hammock rather than as instinct tells you “in line with the frame” it becomes the most comfortable bed you’ve ever lain in.
I absolutely love it and have spent as much time as possible in it since it arrived too days ago.
Tiny niggle: the metal bits that sit in the hammock rope “eye” have nothing holding them in position – they aren’t sewn or glued into place so I worry about losing them.
This review is for the Vivere Double Cotton Combo Tropical.
The ultimate luxury! Something that I never realised I needed but so happy to own.
From opening the box, the build quality of the hammock and frame are evident. Solid, fairly heavy metal poles that fit together confidently, within 10 minutes it was built. Each pole slots in to another and is held in place using a threaded hand tightened bolt (and a further sign of excellent customer service, spare ones are provided). The hammock slings over each end and on to hooked bolts threaded through the frame. Whilst at first glance these bolts seemed perhaps the filmiest part of the setup but once in the hammock, there was no concern. The hanging height of the hammock can be adjusted by moving the hooked bolts up or down the frame as desired. The rubber feet on the base prevent it from slipping around and the whole thing even comes with a heavy duty carry / storage case. To top it off the cotton hammock itself can be tumble dried if needed.
It does take a bit of practice getting in and out if your not so nimble and the whole thing can tip if you try and get in too far towards and end. It advertises as being able to support up to 450 pounds in weight and while I’ve not tested it to it’s limits, it has had two adults or several children in it and it felt perfectly safe.
