Hammocks aren’t just accessories to a relaxing family holiday; they can improve your mental
and physical health as well as help you be a clearer calmer person.

Cure insomnia
A study at the University of Geneva in Switzerland found that swaying gently in a hammock
can help with and in many cases cure insomnia.
Sleep deeper
The gentle swing helps the brain reach deeper levels of sleep, making sure that you get the
full benefits of your afternoon nap.
Fall asleep faster
Not only do hammocks make you sleep deeper, they help you fall asleep faster than in a
traditional bed.
Contribute to reducing stress
Napping regularly in a hammock helps you forget about the world’s worries and considerably
reduces stress levels.
Ideal sleeping position
When you lie down in a hammock, your spine aligns perfectly.
When the spine, head and tailbones align during a hang, you will wonder why you ever
sleep in a regular bed.
Helps cure a sore back
Hammocks have zero pressure points.
The vertebrae, head and tail bones align correctly, and no place of your body has more
pressure than another.
Improves cognition
Regular hammock usage improves brain activity and cognition.
Hammocks are used to treat students with learning disabilities.
Helps with meditation
Swaying in a hammock makes the brainwaves stronger and synchronized, helping you
reach the state of meditation.
