Double Hammocks

A double hammock gives two people room to share, or one person room to spread out.

Shop Double Hammocks - Spacious Comfort for Two

Relax with a double hammock, made to give more room to couples, friends, or anyone who likes space to stretch out. Use it in the garden, at the beach or at camp, depending on the model.

The main double on this page is the Flat Hammock, with 55 inch (139.7 cm) hardwood spreader bars and hand woven ropes, listed for two people. Check each product page for sizes and materials.

Why Choose a 2 Person Hammock?

A double hammock gives you more room than a single.

  • Roomy - Space for two where the listing allows it, or for one person who likes extra room.
  • For Couples or Solo Loungers - Share it, or have the width to yourself.
  • Outdoor Use - Use it outside in fair weather and bring it in when it rains.
  • Different Ways to Hang - Trees, strong posts or a stand, depending on the model.
  • Style - See the product photos for the look and colours.

How to Set Up Your Double Hammock

Follow the instructions for your model. In general:

Step 1: Choose a Suitable Location

  • Outdoors: Hang between two healthy trees or strong posts, or use a stand.
  • Indoors: Use fixings into a solid beam or joist, or a stand. We do not sell fixings or offer installation.

Step 2: Check Weight Limits

  • Make sure the hardware and anchor points can take the combined weight of two people, and stay within the listed limit.

Step 3: Set the Right Height

  • For most double hammocks, hang it about 1.2 to 1.5 m (4 to 5 feet) up, at an angle of about 30 degrees.

Step 4: Relax & Enjoy

  • Test it gently first, then add pillows or blankets if you like.

Frequently asked questions

DO DOUBLE HAMMOCKS SUPPORT SLEEPING OVERNIGHT?

Some people sleep overnight in one. Outdoors you will want a rain fly and an insect net. Our Hammock for Camping comes in a Large (double) size.

IS A HAMMOCK FOR 2 PEOPLE GOOD FOR SUNSETS AND STARGAZING?

Yes, it is a nice spot to sit out in the evening. Pick a double if two people will use it, and check how many people the listing allows.

CAN TWO PEOPLE READ OR CHAT IN A 2 PERSON HAMMOCK?

Yes, if the listing allows two people and you stay within the weight limit. Our Flat Hammock and our Stand with Hammock are both listed for two people.

WHAT SIZE IS A DOUBLE HAMMOCK?

Sizes vary by model, so check each product page. Our Flat Hammock has 55 inch (139.7 cm) hardwood spreader bars. Where a listing does not publish a length or weight limit, email us and we will find it.

CAN A HAMMOCK FOR 2 PEOPLE BE USED IN PARKS?

Often, but rules differ, so check with the park first. Hang it with wide straps around healthy trees. Spreader bar hammocks are heavier to carry than nylon camping hammocks.

WHERE CAN I HANG A 2 PERSON HAMMOCK OUTSIDE?

Between two healthy trees, strong posts, a pergola that can take the load, or on a stand. Measure the space first, and bring the hammock in when the weather turns.

IS A DOUBLE HAMMOCK GOOD FOR READING OUTDOORS?

Yes, many people use one for reading outside. A spreader bar hammock like our Flat Hammock stays open, which makes it easy to sit in.

HOW DO YOU STORE A HAMMOCK FOR 2 PEOPLE OFF-SEASON?

Clean it, let it dry fully, then fold it and keep it somewhere cool and dry, out of the sun.

IS A 2 PERSON HAMMOCK GOOD FOR FESTIVALS?

A light nylon double can go to a festival if there are places to hang it and the event allows it. Spreader bar hammocks are bulkier. Check the event rules first.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A DOUBLE HAMMOCK OVER A SINGLE?

More width to share or to spread out on your own. It is a bit larger and heavier to pack. Always check the listing for how many people it is rated for.

IS A 2 PERSON HAMMOCK SAFE FOR TREES?

Wide straps spread the load and are kinder to bark than thin rope. Pick healthy trees and move the hammock now and then.

CAN I USE A DOUBLE HAMMOCK TO SLEEP OUTDOORS?

Some campers use a hammock in place of a tent. You still need a rain fly and an insect net for shelter. Check that the listing allows two people before sharing.

HOW DO YOU FOLD A 2 PERSON HAMMOCK FOR STORAGE?

Make sure it is dry, gather the fabric and roll it up. On a spreader bar hammock, roll the fabric around the bars. We do not quote a time.

Yes, if the listing says it takes two people and you stay within the weight limit. Our Flat Hammock is listed for two people.

CAN I USE A DOUBLE HAMMOCK ON MY BALCONY?

Yes, if there are strong fixing points or room for a stand. Measure the full length first and check your building's rules.

HOW PORTABLE IS A HAMMOCK FOR 2 PEOPLE?

Nylon doubles pack small. Spreader bar hammocks like our Flat Hammock are bulkier and suit the garden more than the trail.

IS A 2 PERSON HAMMOCK A GOOD GIFT IDEA?

It can be. Check the space they have and how they will hang it. We do not sell gift cards.

IS A DOUBLE HAMMOCK GOOD FOR UNWINDING?

Many people like one as a place to sit back after a busy day. We do not make health claims for our hammocks.

WHAT IS THE BEST POSITION TO LIE IN A 2 PERSON HAMMOCK?

Lie at a slight angle across the fabric rather than straight along it. Most people find this flatter. On a spreader bar hammock you can lie straighter, because the bars hold it open.

CAN I USE A DOUBLE HAMMOCK WITH KIDS?

We do not sell any hammock as safe for children. If a child uses one with an adult, keep it low, stay within the weight limit and supervise at all times.

IS A 2 PERSON HAMMOCK EASY TO CLEAN?

Yes, with strong ceiling or wall fixings or a stand. Fixings are not included and need a solid joist or stud. Ask a builder if you are unsure.

DOES A 2 PERSON HAMMOCK SWAY LESS THAN A SINGLE?
