Summer is almost here and now’s the time to prep your outdoor spaces for warm-weather fun. Beyond ensuring that you have a place to eat and maybe a couch for lounging, the other key piece of relaxation is a hammock.

Hammocks come in so many different shapes, sizes, and materials, the choices can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, we’ve scoured our favorite stores to find the best hammocks out there. From macramé hammock chairs to playful hammocks for kids, here are 19 different hammocks guaranteed to make your summer easy and breezy.

Affordable

On a budget? A hammock is a great option for those that have small spaces or can’t afford a larger outdoor sofa. Look for sturdy stands and well-reviewed fabrics.

Vivere Double Hammock with Steel Stand

This well-reviewed hammock accommodates up to two adults, can be used inside or out, and is available in four different fabrics: breathable cotton; woven, fade-resistant polyester; weather-resistant Sunbrella fabric, or an affordable mesh. The stand also folds up into a carrying case to take with or store in smaller apartments.

Boho-chic chairs

If there’s any time to add some Bohemian style to your home, the hammock is it. Intricate weaving, tassels, and a bit of wicker make these hammocks shine.

Fun, classic, and neutral

You don’t have to get fancy with your hammock, especially because a neutral color pallette just looks good in an outdoor space. Creams, ropes, and wooden stands help these hammocks stand out.

Modern chairs

Don’t love the shabby-chic look? Opt for a more modern aesthetic with these streamlined chairs that function as fun seating and hammocks in one.

Hammocks for kids

Children love hammocks, and the options below can be used inside or out as a place to play and a spot to relax for the younger set.

Camping

Whether you sleep in a tent or not, a hammock offers a great place to hang in any landscape. Bonus: You’ll still have a place to lounge even if the terrain is rocky.
