Whether you’re on a tropical beach or in your own back garden, these suspended swaying beds are ideal for reading, relaxing or simply nodding off on a sunny day. Traditional versions will need to be suspended between two strong, mature trees or fence posts, but you don’t need to miss out if you have a tree-free garden. If you hope to take your hammock beyond the garden when camping or even use it for sleeping outdoors, look for one made from a cotton polyester mix, without wooden spreader bars at each end, so it will pack down easily into a bag.
