Lazy, relaxed rest in warm or even in hot weather is invariably associated with a hammock, an adaptation that was invented many centuries ago by Indians and successfully adopted by European sailors. The habitual elongated form of a rectangular cut of fabric, whose ends are tied to two supports, has long undergone changes. What are the only varieties of hammocks now offered by manufacturers! One of the most comfortable is a hammock in the form of an armchair.
What is a hammock in the form of an armchair?
Armchair-hammock for dacha can be advised in the first place to those summer residents who prefer rest in a sitting position. The fact is that visually such a hammock resembles an armchair suspended at a certain height. Equipped with a mattress or a dense fabric, this hammock provides the opportunity to sit with maximum comfort in the shade of a tree or house.
What are the hammock chairs?
Today's range of offered chairs is amazing. Variations are in fact quite a lot, it remains only to choose the most suitable for yourself. Suspended hammocks-armchairs have a soft design that adapts to your body. If you like softness, give preference to models with a mattress.
A hammock chair made of cloth is also convenient, but will require the use of an extra pillow for convenience.
Frameless armchairs-hammocks are usually fastened to supports using reinforced yarn-ropes and a wooden bar that are able to withstand the weight of a person.
Frame models are considered a more reliable option, because the weight of the rest is distributed not only to the fabric, but also to the base part. The frame can be very diverse, if we talk about the material. For its manufacture, metal or wooden slats, rattan, are used. The basis is fixed to the fabric, most often synthetic, for example, nylon and polyester, demonstrating good resistance to stretching and to weight.
A special color has a woven hammock chair hanging. On the frame is fixed a network of strong threads of special weaving. The most popular form of this kind of hammock is round. The hammock chair from the hoop allows the body to pleasantly "fall through" and enjoy a slight wiggle. And the round frame can be arranged exactly. In models with a hoop at an angle, the shape is more similar to the hemisphere.
In addition, on sale you can find a hammock chair with one precise attachment or two. Products with a lower price require additional equipment for hanging, for example, a hook in a ceiling, tree or pole. Expensive armchairs-hammocks are already equipped with racks.
How to choose a hammock chair?
Two main parameters, which are very important to pay attention before buying a garden accessory, are reliability and convenience. If you want to become the owner of a hammock, which by faith and truth will last for many years, give preference to models with cloth or weaving, capable of easily withstanding up to 150-200 kg of weight. Inspect the attachments (hooks, carbines, rings) that must be made of a reliable metal.
Convenience is a fundamental factor. Imagine how unpleasant it is to be swaddled in a cocoon hammock or vice versa, it's banal to fall from it because of an unsuccessfully tailored design. That's why by buying try out a similar model, posted for clarity.
Conveniently provides and properly selected fabric. The most pleasant feeling is cotton. By itself, this material can not be called an ideal of reliability, but the mixture with synthetic threads is much better. Polyester is also a great option, nylon is somewhat stiffer.
Wicker armchairs-hammocks look very nice, but for comfort we recommend choosing models with a mattress .
