Handwoven Hammock by Yellow Leaf Hammocks - Double Size, Fits 1-2 PPL, 400lb max - Weathersafe, Super Strong, Easy to Hang, Ultra Soft, Artisan Made - Color: Stripe Navy Blue - White

So, I wanted to write a review because I have been searching for the PERFECT plus size hammock for quite awhile. I’m a 5’5” female and I weigh 250lbs. I also have a 5 year old and toddler who like to hammock with mom, so I’ve been very particular about finding a durable hammock I feel secure in 🙈. I will say, I bought a cotton hammock from Amazon that had been great to us for 2 seasons but we left it out in the weather and it molded. It was fairly inexpensive and comfortable but you did feel like you were submerged in it which was okay sometimes but not always what I wanted. With that said, I bought an eno double nest. I was so disappointed. The only thing I liked about this hammock was the convenient way it would package back into itself and it was very light and already hand the carabiner clips attached. It was super roomy, but laying down in it was like being in a covered pot. It is supposed to be breathable but I found it so much less appealing than my cheap cotton hammock. The edges were so taught that it was almost painful to get out of. Now on to the yellow leaf. I saw them online and laughed out loud at the price. $200-300 for a hammock?? I was intrigued though. I thought, what could be so great about this that it’s so expensive? I realize it is made by hand and appreciate this but I still couldn’t fathom paying that much money. Well, wouldn’t you know, they’re on Amazon! I decided to buy the single hammock just to see if it was really too good to be true, I could send it right back after all. It came and I wasn’t sold. Maybe a lighter smaller person would have had a better experience with this model. It is a weave of hundreds of strings of yarn. If you pull it is is super strong and firm, but stretched to the side it opens the weave and gives you more give and room. Right where you sit would be so taught it would almost go up your crack if you didn’t roll from side to side to pull the middle apart. I decided to send it back and try the family size. After all, it was pretty cozy after you worked yourself in. Laying down, I could wrap the hammock around me like a cacoon but it didn’t overtake me in a regular position and it was actually quite heavenly feeling. But maybe where I’m not used to this style of weave, I didn’t really like that you could see my body through it. It didn’t feel like I had a lot of privacy to hide the wobbly bits. Family size arrived today and oh my word. It is perfect! Absolutely perfect. It fit me like a glove. It had just the right amount of give and it had so much more fabric that the weave wasn’t stretched out on the sides so I didn’t feel completely exposed in the smaller size. The annoying taughtness in the center was gone! I could lay sideways and the edges didn’t ride up on me so I was able to look out into the yard. It is so comfortable and fluid. It feels delicate and strong at the same time. I’m curious how it might hold up, but despite the $300 price point, I have decided to keep this one because I found my perfect hammock and hopefully we will have a lot of years together. One thing I do want to add. There are Mayan hammocks available for a third of the price. I am curious how those would compare to this. I might try one of those and re-review, but as of now, this hammock gets 4 stars because it’s not really affordably practical, but truly it is the perfect hammock 😁

Apparently I prefer a hammock with a rope weave and wooden bars. With this style, all the tension is in one stripe down your back and not enough on the sides. I didn't feel like I was going to fall out of it, but overall it wasn't super comfortable so I returned it. BUT if you like this style, this was definitely well made and well packaged.

The media could not be loaded.  I love that it’s so soft and comfortable. I definitely need another one because as soon as someone gets out someone else is already jumping up to get it. I would definitely recommend this hammock.

I have this hammock set up on a hammock stand I already had. It wasn’t quite long enough for the stand, so I grabbed some chains meant for hammocks to extend and it works perfectly. The colors are beautiful, it’s incredibly comfortable and the you can wash it. Just make sure you tie up the ends so they won’t get tangled, and that you tie a very tight knot. I tied mine but it must have untied near the end because it got a bit tangled. I was super lucky and able to work the tangles out after letting it settle overnight on the stand. I also haven’t had any issues with tearing, and I’ve worn buttons and zippers on it. I do get out of it slowly, but other then that it may just be luck because it is made with what amounts to think embroidery floss.

Absolutely AMAZING!!!

End of summer update. This is a soft and breathable hammock but my worries that the material is weak proved true. By the end of summer it is falling apart, I've had to tie many strands back together. We took it down when not in use and treated it well, the small cotton threads are just too fine and too fragile. If they would make this with a uv resistant nylon it would be a winner, as is the price value is too low.We are hammock enthusiasts who have 8-10 of various styles. The ones we love were woven in the jungles of Belize but that person moved.These are a great design and hand nice. The material is very soft and comfortable making the experience very nice.Now my concerns, the material is not a nylon yarn and is pretty thin. They market these as good for outdoor sun and rain use but looking at the material I expect maybe a summer out of it. That's disappointing given very high price. If they make it a season and are in good shape I might buy more,otherwise I'll look elsewhere.

I love that this hammock is generous in size and that the fabric breathes. When I swing in it, it stays cool. The quality is top notch and I don’t worry about fraying or breakage. I’ve used it comfortably with my 15 year old so it can easily hold two full size people. Everyone in my family loves it.

I’m devastated, I absolutely loved this hammock! Spent a fortune on it and after a few months of light use the threads are breaking and unraveling. I tried to patch one spot then 2 others began. I messaged the company directly but haven’t heard back yet. Hopefully my hammock had a defect of some sort and they will replace it 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Great

this is an amazing hammock! super soft and comfortable. it will be enjoyed for many years.
