Folding Beach Hammock.

For me this hammock stand purchase was a medical device of sorts. I suffer from ulnar nerve entrapment (a kind of sleeping problem where sleepers badly reposition or crush their arms while asleep creating nerve damage).

So sleeping in a hammock without a bar (I use with an adventure ridge double travel hammock from Aldi's) helps reduce injury while sleeping as rolling over on myself is one issue. In a hammock you swing instead usually and it's harder to pin your arms under your weight.

But the other stands I'd found were huge, took up way too much space indoors & can't take when traveling. I love this moon-shaped folding stand!!! I use it every night and I love that it rocks a bit on both axis, I have found this one the most comfortable of all those I'd tried.

I've learned to just readjust the nylon straps (they slip further through the buckles after a time) or, reverse in case I have gotten into upside down.

When company comes, I simply fold flat and slip already fully assembled into the narrow area behind my bookshelves, (no need to set-up every night). So as a bonus since this is actually my bed, I've now serious extra floor space in my 1 bedroom HUD apartment!

With the summer coming up, I started looking for a new way to relax at the beach. I looked into foldable beach chairs, but having owned one, they are only comfortable to sit in for an hour or two before they become uncomfortable. There are no real options to be able to stretch out and really relax. This is when I started to look into portable beach hammocks. There are different styles, most are squared off and/or collapsible, but from trying one out, not very comfortable. I did some deep research and came across a style of portable beach hammocks that instead of being squared off and collapsible were able to be assembled piece by piece and was the shape of an orange slice. Yup, orange slice. Completely unique. I had never seen a portable hammock at the beach or anywhere, that could be pieced together and had that crescent moon shape. I looked online to find a supplier for the hammock and check out the prices. I searched long and hard and only came up with a couple different places that carried the hammock. I did some digging and found boatstogo.com. I had never heard of the company so I looked for info on the business. Boatstogo.com had some amazing reviews and some extremely satisfied customers. Not only that, but the same hammock that I was researching was ½ the price of the two other retailers that carried the exact same item.

I emailed boatstogo.com regarding the availability of the hammock and was pleasantly surprised to get a reply within 45 minutes. 45 minutes, I have tried to correspond with other companies and it has taken hours if not days. Nice work boatstogo.com. Elliot was the contact that replied to me, completely professional, friendly and helpful. I placed an order, hoping the product quality matched the service quality of boatstogo.com.

One week later, at my front door was the package from boatstogo.com (I knew the day it was arriving because boatstogo.com supplied me with tracking info immediately when the item shipped). It was packed well, no damage to the hammock, not as much as a scratch. The hammock arrived in its own carrying case that you can sling over your shoulder. It was lighter than
the usual chair I drag with me to the beach. I brought it with me on vacation and finally had the chance to set it up and give it a run. I took all the parts out and decided to see if I could figure out assembly without looking at the supplied directions. Piece of cake, I had it set up within 10. Strong aluminum shell, 8 pieces that click together, 2 bolts that you use to connect the end aluminum pieces and hang the supplied hammock with and the hammock itself. I sat down in the hammock and yes, I fell out of it (my mistake for setting it up on a hill…). I moved the hammock to flatter ground and sat in it (you can use it as a seat), then stretched out and laid back in it. Holy wow, it was like a little slice of heaven. You can lay back and ties the accompanying rope to a stationary object to rock the hammock or hang your foot over the edge to do the same. It was so relaxing, solidly constructed and well made.

I have brought it to the beach with me and have already had a half dozen people ask about it and where they can get it, boatstogo.com. I have also bought a second one for my girlfriend, who is in it whenever I am not. Boatstogo.com covered all the bases to make me feel like a appreciated customer. They were fast and accurate with correspondences. They were friendly and professional. They supplied a product that is of the highest quality (and ½ the price of the other supplier). They really know how to take care of their customers and the experience I had prompted me to buy from them again. A phenomenal company and I would recommend you look into boatstogo.com for your boating (or other product) needs. Thank you for making this purchase so easy boatstogo.com!
