Best Overall Portable Hammock
Kootek Camping Hammock
Pros Very comfy considering durability Comes in two sizes (large, medium) Multiple colors Comes with tree straps Cons Some reviewers note seams are not durable enough Has ripped on multiple reviewers
If you could grab just one of these picks from our list, we would tell you to just get this: the Kootek Camping Hammock, easily our pick for best overall. This rig has it all: it’s compact and lightweight, has a quick and easy setup process, comes with a travel pouch that doubles as a multifunctional side pocket, and it has a substantial max weight threshold.
But the list doesn’t stop there—this hammock’s middle name is durability, being made from 210T parachute nylon material and triple interlocking stitching. This fray-resistant material is strong enough to handle all weather, yet is soft enough to feel like you’re lounging in silk. One thing to keep an eye on is the stitching. We have seen reviews of seams eventually wearing down over time.

Most Comfortable Hammock
Eno SuperNest Hammock
Pros Feels like lying on a cloud in the breeze Quilting adds extra comfort and breathability Comes with two removable plush pillows Dual hanging pockets for storage Fits with ENO’s SoloPod XL Stand for permanent hanging Cons Very expensive Much heavier than other hammocks Does not come with straps
Hear us out on this hammock before you scoff at the price and scroll onwards. The whole point of a hammock is comfort from a suspended elevation—to dangle and swing gently in the breeze. The Eno SuperNest Hammock takes that experience to the next level.
Artistically stitched and crafted using wave-like quilting, this plush hammock truly takes your comfort level beyond expectations. While other brands tend to fold up like a burrito, Eno’s utilizes a 3D-contoured design to improve stability and safety. But, can something this soft, beautiful, and additional hardware take a beating? Yes it can, thanks to its marine-grade finish to resist rust and erosion. Don’t think of this as expensive—instead, think of it as an investment in the best hammock naps you’ve ever had.

Best Portable Stand Hammock
Tranquillo Uniki Foldable Hammock Stand
Pros Can use it anywhere—no anchor points needed Less than 30 seconds setup time Breathable 2-layer polyester material No-tool assembly Cons Only a single user design Needs stable and even surface Pricey Some reviewers feel legs need better reinforcing Not lightweight or backpack-able
The beauty of a portable hammock is being able to take it with you on whatever adventure you choose to partake in. The issue tends to arise if, where you’re going, there are no trees or anchor points. The solution: a foldable stand hammock like this beaut from Tranquillo.
With most stand hammocks, they tend to be permanent and immobile. An option like this one is not only foldable, but also lightweight and packable, too. A strong and sturdy electrostatic powder-coated steel frame holds 550 lbs while the ball bearings offer a smooth and quiet swinging experience.

Best for Backcountry Hiking and Camping
Firiner Camping Hammock
Pros Mosquito net is built in Rain cover can double as a stand alone tent Comes with straps, carabiners, ropes, and stakes Affordable vs. similar style hammocks Very lightweight for the price Cons Longer setup time Material is a littler thinner than similar hammocks Rain tarp does not handle heavier rainfall Lacks long term durability
Enjoying a quiet hammock session in the middle of the woods is perfect right up until all the mosquitoes show up and ruin all the fun. The solution, the Camping Hammock from Firiner. With a built-in zippered mosquito net, you can truly enjoy the great outdoors bug-free.
But this hammock takes it a step further helping you to battle all of the elements, including the beating heat and rain.

Best Max Weight Capacity Hammock
Covacure Camping Hammock
Pros Maxes out around ~770 lbs 2 stabilizing sand peg lines helps getting in/out of hammock Built-in mosquito and bug net is breathable Third lightest of our hammocks featured Cons Slightly longer setup time than others Sand pegs have a tendency to not stay in-ground Tree straps are not ideally durable for max weight bearing
For those seeking the best built-tough hammock that can exceed typical weight limits, Covacure’s can quite literally take the weight and then some. With the ability to bear the brunt of almost double the average hammock, this bad boy maxes out at around 770 lbs. With something this durable you would expect it to weigh a ton, but thanks to 210T parachute nylon, it is the third lightest hammock on our list.
Our only true marks against this pick are a slightly longer setup time, which is nothing when utilizing the sand peg lines, and we wish the straps were stronger to keep up with the hammock’s strength. Overall, it’s an excellent pick and the only thing we can’t guarantee is that the trees you choose can handle the 770 lbs.

Best Upright Hammock
Yellowleaf The Vista
Now 38% Off
Credit: Retailer Pros 12 lbs overall weight is amply portable Can “swing” back and forth in the upright sitting position Assembly takes less than a minute Woven mesh is breathable Cons Only a max weight of about 330 lbs Swaddling position can be restrictive Requires a stable surface for set up Backpack is on the larger side Very expensive, even for a stand hammock
Sometimes you want a hammock to help you enjoy a view and you need to sit upright. These upright hammocks, or hammock chairs, hang from a bar and still require a single anchor point. This makes them very unportable. The solution? The Yellowleaf Vista portable hammock. The Vista is a system that utilizes a jet-grade aluminum frame with four legs to provide a stable base on the ground.
Unlike our best portable hammock stand, the U-shape of the frame allows the handwoven hammock to slip on to create a nice upright seat. When you kick up your feet and recline back, the hammock swaddles you for a cocoon-like experience thanks to its woven yarn material. While its the most expensive hammock on our list, it offers the most unique hammock experience as well.

If you love bringing Fido with you whenever you go hiking or when you head out to the parks for some adventurous camping, make sure you bring this hammock along for the journey. This is your perfect companion for snuggling up with your favorite furry K-9 companion.
A simple internet search will yield tons of numerous pics of pooches enjoying the comfort of this Eno DoubleNest Hammock with their hiking pals. While other brands are great for duos, this model is durable enough to allow your pups to enjoy it as well, even with their paws and claws. How so? The heavy-duty yet extremely soft FreeWave fabric is strong enough to resist paw scratches, yet soft enough that both of you will enjoy its lightweight breathability. One Men’s Health editor has had the SingleNest, made from the same material, for three years and it’s shown no signs of wear with regular use. They also attest that the FreeWave material is just what you want from a hammock—it doesn’t rub against the skin and it doesn’t get too hot.
