The Many Varieties of Hammock Swing
If you took a quick glance at a hammock swing, you might think you were looking at some sort of medieval torture device. You probably wouldn’t get a sense of someone relaxing outside with a lemonade and reading a good book.
Instead, you might think the person was going to be strapped to a machine that was designed to bend limbs the wrong way. Interestingly enough, this type of hammock is actually very comfortable despite the first impressions you could get when you first see it.
The hammock swing comes in several different designs. Some of these designs, particularly the simpler models look like a rope weave hammock or a cloth hammock folded in half with a sort of basket in the middle, where the person can sit. These hammock designs are often the least expensive, but are still quite comfortable.
The particular hammock design that looks like a torture device is sometimes referred to as an “air chair.” These designs consist of an actual bucket seat made out of cloth combined with an elaborate system of cloth coverings, rope supports and wooden bars. Rather than being a single piece of fabric, this “air chair” is similar to a floating adjustable chair with a foot rest.
Additionally, a number of hammock swing designs appear to be chairs rigged up by roping. These models are often called “hammock chairs”; and are generally composed of cushions upholstered with some sort of synthetic fiber, such as polyester or acrylic.
Hammock swing designs will range in price from around $50 up to $200. The most expensive hammock swings are generally called the “air chair,” which can often cost as much as $200. Less expensive designs include simple “hammock chairs,” “Mayan hammock chairs,” which are brightly-colored folded models, and “Brazilian hammock chairs,” which are also brightly-colored, but have a cloth backing. These models can often be as cheap as $50.
