I am pretty clueless about what to get and want one before the summer is over. :-) Originally, I was going to get a basic rope hammock but came across the PBK Chesapeake Hammock and stand. I love the wood stand and the red floral print matches our patio furniture. Though, I hate that I can't try it out to see if it is comfy. http://tinyurl.com/gsoo9.
In comparing rope vs. quilted which one is better? More durable?
I am not sure if the PBK one is a two person size which I'd very much like.
Also, the wood stand would need to be store away which would be difficult with our lack of storage. So I'd like to look at metal stands too.
Do you have one you love? Any suggestions on where to buy one and recommendations would be appreciated.
TIA.

I have a quilted hammock/metal stand that I got at Target a few years ago and I LOVE it! They are Pawley's Island Brand.
Mine is a green stripe and green metal stand but I think it is blue stripe now (ETC that it's blue at Target, not that mine changed blue! ;-) ). My target had the stand and the hammocks for 50% off the other day (SE Michigan). I think this made the quilted hammock about $60 and the stand about $50 but honestly I just noted they were 50% off more than anything--since I bought mine 3 years ago full price! It is a double--which I would never get anything less.
Quilted vs rope, I like the quilted, sometimes I think it MAY be a little warmer to lay in (less airflow) but it seems like it is more comfortable. I like to lay with DS (1 next week) so I like that his arm leg can't drop through.
HTH!

I have this one. Not what I pictured having, but honestly, we love it. It is soooo portable!

Thanks. I checked out our local Target and they had the Target brand rope hammock for $25. All the stands were sold out which was a bummer. I'll have to look around for one. Not sure if I'll keep it but figured the price was too good to pass up. :-)
