Kelsyus Portable Hammock
Comfort on the go has usually meant taking along an uncomfortable plastic chair as a means to relax. Wouldn’t you prefer to lie back, put your feet up and relax in luxury? Portable hammocks make this possible by packing a real hammock in a foldable, portable design. These hammocks are supported by a sturdy steel frame which can fold up into a compact carrying bag. Although compact, these hammocks fold out to accommodate a full-sized adult. Users get to lie back, relax and rock in the breeze. Conventional portable seating like beach chairs and loungers don’t offer the body-conforming comfort that a hammock can.
How Does It Compare To A Regular Hammock?
Portable hammocks have all the comfort of a standard hammock but can be moved from place to place. The design of a hammock consists of a fabric sheet supported by each end. The fabric conforms to the body’s curves, evenly distributing weight for a “floating on air” experience. Users can rock from side to side and spread out to their full length. Portable hammocks pack tightly into a carry bag and can be set up in minutes. They’re great for lounging at the park, beach or even your backyard.
Canvas
The canvas of these hammocks is usually constructed from polyester with PVC reinforcement for strength. At each end there is a nylon stabilizing strap to keep the canvas from enclosing the user. The canvas has a loop on each end which gets attached to the frame during each use. Canvases can either be made from polyester, of have a mash backing. Mesh-backed canvases allow air to flow underneath your body, keeping you cool.Polyester is weather and fade resistant, and cleans up easily with soap and water.
Hammock With Storage Rack
Frame
The metal frame is what makes the hammock’s portability possible. A hollow steel tube frame is equipped with joint that allow it to fold up. Once open, the frame locks into position, capable of supporting hundreds of pounds. No complicated assembly of the frame is needed for every use, simply unfold and lock the one-piece frame to set it up. The accordion style structure collapses into a compact shape designed for storage in a shoulder strap carry bag (most manufacturers include this). The steel of powder coated with a weather resistant paint to protect the frame no matter the weather conditions.
Additional Features:
Storage Rack:
A storage rack is always handy, especially if you’re relaxing on the go. Some of the higher end portable hammocks offer a storage compartment underneath the canvas. This can be used for food & drinks, carry bags, portable radios or anything else you can think of. The storage rack folds up with the rest of the hammock for storage. As shown in the picture above, storage racks are an excellent way to keep your possessions close at hand which is especially important in public areas such as beaches.
Pillow:
If your portable hammock doesn’t come with a pillow, you may want to invest in a small inflatable one. Some portable hammocks come with a handy pillow to rest your head/neck upon. While the curvature of the hammock provides excellent body support, some people need extra support for their heads. Inflatable pillows go great with portable hammocks, in that they can be deflated and stored in the same carry bag as the portable garden hammock.
Carry Case:
A comfortable carry case is essential when transporting a portable hammock. A large shoulder strap, preferably padded, should be attached to the bag. It should also be adjustable so that both the kids and adults can carry it with ease. Exterior zippered pockets are an added bonus if you can find them.
Conclusion
Portable hammocks are revolutionary in that they allow users to sprawl out in comfort anywhere they choose. A soft canvas backing provides a soothing place to rest and nap in areas that would otherwise be uncomfortable. Scrap that beach towel and try out a portable hammock! If the sun becomes a problem, getting in your eyes and baking your skin, try bringing along a pop up gazebo to snooze under.
