Rope Hammocks

For comfort, coziness, and down-to-earth luxury in the great outdoors, a rope hammock beats fancy patio furniture every time. It’s the classic hammock for unforgettable summers, the backyard retreat that everybody wants to savor. And at Hammocks.com, it’s also the best deal you’ll find anywhere online. Here are some of the reasons why our rope beds are best for backyards.

Why rope?

Rope hammocks are the best choice for durability, and for breathable comfort in warmer climates and seasons. A rope bed’s open weave is perfectly designed to catch whatever breezes come your way, and to provide maximum airflow during sultry summers. Simply put, rope will keep you cool as can be—though a little shade and an ice cold drink won’t hurt, either.

Another reason why people prefer rope is its instantly recognizable style. Rope is the most traditional hammock material, and the sight of that bright white crisscrossed weave evokes lazy day relaxation like nothing else can.

Finally, a well-maintained rope hammock will provide excellent durability and value. Choose a weather hardy rope material and give it suitable protection from sun, rain, and snow, and you’ll enjoy many seasons of hammocking bliss.

Rope types

Cotton is a natural material that provides exemplary comfort and breathability, though it’s more vulnerable to fading and moisture. Polyester is fade- and weather-resistant, and modern polyester ropes can rival cotton for comfort. But if you want superior comfort and softness combined with all-weather, quick dry performance, DuraCord hammocks are without equal.
