Swing State

The Finest Hammocks Known to Leisure

Lying perfectly still with your eyes half open. That’s something you’re good at. And we bring it up because... well, here’re five things that you can lie perfectly still on with your eyes half open. They’re hammocks. The very best hammocks known to man.

SWEDE-EST THING

A Floating Orb of Comfy

Looks Like: The hammock Charles Eames would’ve designed in the year 2057.
Feels Like: Being cradled under an angel’s wing... made of perforated Swedish fabric.
Use On: Sunny days. Its semitransparent canopy blocks 86% of harmful UV rays. Yes, that’s a majority.

FOR THE BIRDS

A Human-Sized Bird’s Nest

Looks Like: A Hershey’s Kiss.
Feels Like: Sleeping inside of a levitating wicker tepee.
Use On: A branch strong enough to support a 188-pound, electrostatic-powder-coated relaxation pod. You’ll know it when you see it.

PLY HARD

A Hammock Made of Wood. Trust Us...

Looks Like: Levitating Jenga blocks.
Feels Like: Something way more comfortable. The plywood conforms to your body, and you can add on a holder for an iPad. Or an iPad-shaped cocktail.
Use On: Any surface calling for a chaise lounge. So yeah, any surface...

THREE’S COMPANY

A Hammock with Friends

Looks Like: Three hammocks strategically arranged beneath a cabana. Because that’s exactly what this is.
Feels Like: Your standard hammock. Except with the added benefit of shade. And neighbors.
Use On: Twins.

FUR SURE

A Hammock That Could’ve Eaten You

Looks Like: A coyote. Well, the fur part, anyway.
Feels Like: A coyote. Well, the fur part, anyway.
Use On: A late-summer camping trip. Or any area that’s adjacent to a fire pit.
