    Couples Hanging in Armchair Hammocks - Talladega National Forest

    Had a chance to test out some Armchair Hammocks on a trip to Alabama's Talladega National Forest with several couples giving it a try. Thought I'd share...

    Both hammocks were hung from the same trees (approx 8" and 16" round)

    Also tested some side sleeping...

    I'll keep posting as the prototypes get better and closer to the final design.

    As always, I'm happy to answer questions and/or get feedback!

    This is the first I've seen of your concept. The dogs are cute. It looks like everyone is having fun.

    I notice that feet are hanging off the end. Is that intentional? How does it feel?
    I sew things on youtube.
    I don’t sew on commission, so please don’t ask. Thanks.

    Everyone was having a good time... The dogs especially love hiking! The little one can go 10 miles and still runs to the car at the end.

    The design is intentionally 5 inches shorter than your height. Your feet are lower than your head and supposed to hang free supported under your calves. It has a wide hem to firmly support and not cut into them. I like the freedom it provide and in practice your feet are covered by your top quilt or sleeping bag but still free to move side to side (see the side sleeping shots).

    Nice!! I like those. Is this a design you're going to offer for sale?

    I'd like to do a kickstarter later this year to get funding for the first production run. Right now and am trying to finalize the design and decide on single or double layers, weight, and insulated options. I've been really slow to release in that I don't want the design to fail with someone in it. Dutch's fabrics have been helpful in solving that problem.

    I'll be selling some custom armchair hammocks soon and I'll post on here when that happens. Thanks for the interest!
