Let's face it. Hammocks are super relaxing. I strung the Brazilian Hammock up between two trees and it provides an ideal mid-afternoon nap. Or, sit on it sideways and makes a great seat for reading. Moreover, I'm about 350lbs and it is super sturdy. Honestly, never had a Brazilian Hammock before but the way it wraps you up is great and the wind still passes right through. My kids live it, wife loves it.
