A long, lazy summer afternoon lounging in a hammock is my idea of heaven. Thankfully, the days of the
plain braided rope hammock are gone and I can now do it in style. There are a variety of great designs: luxury, free-standing, and even eco-friendly (a hammock made from recycled seat belts. How cool is that?) On the go? Buy one for your dog to enjoy in the car.
Since hammocks are a seasonal item, get something bright and festive. A few smart buying suggestions: make sure your space is large enough to fit a hammock. If not, look for one with a stand. Then lie down, relax, and enjoy the lull.
