If so, an image might immediately flash before your eyes of the eponymous main character, private investigator Thomas Magnum, Hawaiian shirt, dashing trademark moustache and all. Why this digression on the ideal world of childhood television, you may ask? Simple: we\u2019re talking about hammocks! And when it comes to this topic, that TV hero immediately comes to mind: I see him happily lounging in a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/hammocks\/\">hammock<\/a><\/strong> while sipping a cocktail from a pineapple and smiling at the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A comfortable overnight stay in a hanging sleeping area is, however &#8211; especially for hammock camping on outdoor tours &#8211; not as simple as the Hawaii-based TV detective makes it look. Whether it\u2019s <strong>mosquitos, the cold or that you\u2019re lying in the wrong position<\/strong>, many factors can interfere with sleep in a hammock. So this offers a few pointers&nbsp;on how you can make yourself really comfortable in your hammock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-hammock-is-the-most-comfortable\">Which hammock is the most comfortable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we thrust ourselves into the hammock like a bearded Stoick the Vast for a well-deserved slumber, though, it\u2019s important to first clarify which type of hammock provides the most comfortable forty winks.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/exped-hammock-suspension-kit-haengematten-aufhaengung-bf.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/exped-hammock-suspension-kit-haengematten-aufhaengung-bf-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Exped - Hammock Suspension Kit - hammock suspension\" class=\"wp-image-24488\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Special suspension straps help fasten the hammock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the <strong>uncomfortable candidates<\/strong>. <strong>Rod hammocks<\/strong>, that is, models where a spreader bar stretches the sleeping area, are perfect for reading and hanging around in the garden, but not to slumber in for a longer time. Because your body weight is not distributed over the entire sleeping area but is instead located at individual points on the suspended surface, it becomes uncomfortable after a while and causes unpleasant muscular strain in the neck and back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rod hammock is also<strong> open at the sides<\/strong>, so you quickly grow <strong>cold<\/strong>. For the restless sleeper, it also harbours the danger of you <strong>rolling out<\/strong> in the night. Another disadvantage that stops you from getting a good night\u2019s sleep: the strong tension of the sleeping area means that every movement transforms into an annoying wobble. Another kind that is uncomfortable for long periods of time is the large-meshed <strong>rope hammock<\/strong>. If you lie in them for a long time, individual ropes press into your skin uncomfortably, even if there\u2019s a blanket underneath you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a <strong>comfortable hammock to sleep in<\/strong>, it\u2019s best to reach for a <strong>hammock made of a solid material<\/strong> or a <strong>fine-meshed rope hammock<\/strong>. Versions made with a solid material are stable, comfortable and keep you warm underneath. Fine-meshed rope hammocks fit to the body really well and ensure great ventilation from the bottom and the sides \u2013 perfect for humid nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-well-hung-how-to-hang-your-hammock-correctly\">Well hung \u2013 how to hang your hammock correctly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can doze comfortably in your hammock, it must be hung up. This doesn\u2019t take much more than <strong>two trees, stakes or similar<\/strong> set the right distance apart. The right <strong>distance<\/strong> means between <strong>3.5 and 5 metres<\/strong> \u2013 the length of the hammock itself plus about a metre at each end. Of course, the branches or trees that you\u2019ve sought out for yourself should be neither rotten nor should they house woodworms, and they need to be strong enough to bear your body weight for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To attach the hammock, there are special <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/sea-to-summit-hammock-tree-protector\/\">tree protector straps<\/a> <\/strong>and<strong> suspension straps<\/strong> that prevent damage to the tree bark. The two attachment points should be located at the same height so that the hammock ends up hanging horizontally. For the suspension height: the higher the hammock hangs, the cooler it will be. If a humid summer\u2019s night is in store, go ahead and hang it a big higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, the straps are hung between 1.7 and a maximum of 2.0 metres high. Make sure that when you attach the hammock, it <strong>doesn\u2019t sag too much<\/strong> &#8211; remember that there\u2019s still your own weight to come! When it comes to the curvature, if your hammock looks like a banana, then you\u2019re on the right track. This results in a roughly 30\u00b0 angle, which allows a comfortable lying position and ensures the right tension under load. When you\u2019re inside it, the sleeping area should hang approximately 50 cm from the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-me-gusta-the-right-way-to-lie-in-a-hammock\">Me gusta! \u2013 The right way to lie in a hammock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the hammock is hanging comfortably in the air, it\u2019s finally time for a cosy slumber! But how? There is a pervasive clich\u00e9 about hammocks that they are at best only good for a short midday siesta, and that <strong>a restful sleep in one is practically impossible<\/strong>. It will quickly become clear that this preconception is actually a misconception \u2013 provided that you sleep in the right position.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Schlafen-in-der-Haengematte1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Schlafen-in-der-Haengematte1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"How do I sleep in a hammock?\" class=\"wp-image-36507\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Finding the right position is not so easy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Lying in the right position is crucial<\/strong> to ensure that neither back nor neck pain mess up the next day of touring. The sleeping position we\u2019re familiar with from our matrasses at home, where you\u2019re aligned parallel to the sides, will quickly lead to discomfort when sleeping in a hammock, because the back and the neck area are forced into a strenuous curve. A <strong>small but important trick<\/strong> provides relief and, in the best-case scenario, a sleeping position that is better for your back, more comfortable and healthier than on the old matrass you\u2019ve got at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lay yourself<\/strong> in a slightly diagonal line in the hammock, with your feet a little to the left or right and your head in the other direction. This position ensures an optimal distribution of weight over the sleeping area and thus that the hammock has the perfect tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, the fabric will adjust perfectly to a lying position that is relaxing and good for you back. People in many South and Central American countries spend practically their entire sleeping careers lying like this in a hammock. More and more people plagued with back pain in Europe are also finding relief sleeping in a hammock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you\u2019re afraid that you\u2019ll get seasick sleeping in the sack, I can give you the all-clear. A study by the University of Geneva has proved that <strong>gentle swinging or rocking movements<\/strong> leads you to <strong>fall asleep more quickly<\/strong> and sleep more deeply \u2013 even for people who have trouble sleeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-camping-under-the-stars-the-hammock-replaces-the-tent\">Camping under the stars \u2013 the hammock replaces the tent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s undeniable that the idea of exchanging a musty, man-made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/tents\/\">tent<\/a> for heaven\u2019s tent on multi-day tours, and being rocked to sleep in a comfortable hammock has a certain allure. If you do choose <strong>hammock camping<\/strong>, you can also save a bit of weight since the tent is left at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, even a very practical consideration calls the tune when opting for a hammock. If you\u2019re going out into heavily wooded or uneven terrain, it\u2019s sometimes hard to find an even surface for a tent. A hammock can be<strong> lashed up quickly and easily between two trees<\/strong> or another suitable option for attaching it, and your tent alternative under the twinkling starry firmament is ready! Ok, so maybe that\u2019s a bit romanticised, and gnats, mosquitos and similar creatures might have a thing or two to say. Not to mention that a night-time rainstorm isn\u2019t exactly conducive to a good night\u2019s rest, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you can get tarps for <strong>weather protection when you\u2019re in a hammock<\/strong>. These are waterproof awnings that are stretched over the sleeping area. Just like the hammocks themselves, tarps come in all kinds of shapes and materials. From tarps made of silicone-treated nylon or extremely lightweight, high-performance laminate, through to low-priced tent tarpaulin, the market has everything on offer to protect you from the elements. The latter option is, however, not exactly portable, since they are relatively heavy and require quite a bit of space in your backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-weather-and-mosquito-protection-in-the-hammock\">Weather and mosquito protection in the hammock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For light showers, asymmetrical, rhomboid tarps are recommended. These parallelogram-shaped tarpaulins are ideal for stretching over a diagonal lying position and have great ventilation. The disadvantage is that these tarps give up ship in heavy downpours or storms. Diamond-shaped or square tarps stay dry even in heavy rainstorms, and are really simple because they are only anchored at two points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In strong winds, though, rain can blow in at the sides. Bigger tarps remedy this, but they also add more weight to your pack. Six-corner tarps offer amazing weather protection, but they are complex to put up because they need six clamping points. All-round, four-season tarps can be closed at the sides and attached close to the ground, ensuring comprehensive protection from the elements. However, these are comparatively large, heavy and difficult to attach. We\u2019ve taken <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/set-up-tarp-without-hardware\/\">a closer look at tarps<\/a><\/strong> in another article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hammock-mosquito-net\">Hammock mosquito net<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re going touring where biting bugs will make you lose sleep, you need to take a suitable<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/mosquito-nets\/\">mosquito net<\/a><\/strong> with you. There are special hammock nets for this that are stretched around the whole sleeping area and are closed with a drawstring or zip. Some models might need some additional tensioning first, and then you\u2019ll be well-protected from aggressive, winged troublemakers.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Schlafen-in-der-Haengematte2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Schlafen-in-der-Haengematte2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"How do I sleep in a hammock?\" class=\"wp-image-36508\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A special hammock sleeping bag protects you from the cold!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-heat-insulating-hammock-accessories\">Heat insulating hammock accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If an <strong>extra bit of warmth<\/strong> is needed, there are hammocks with slots for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/sleeping-mats\/\">sleeping mats<\/a>, or self-inflating <strong>insulating hammock pads<\/strong>. Of course, it is possible to use a sleeping bag in a hammock, but it will soon get uncomfortable. The thermal performance will also suffer: because of the large surface pressure, the insulating material cannot trap much air, so thermal bridges form easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s really cold, there are what is known as <strong>underquilts<\/strong> for hammocks. These are blankets and quilts filled with down or synthetic fibre, which are hung beneath the hammock. This means that nothing gets flattened, and the hammock is insulated from the bottom and sides. Together with a normal quilt for a blanket or a sleeping bag if necessary, you can thus even camp in a hammock <strong>in frosty minus temperatures<\/strong> \u2013 depending on the kind of underquilt and your own limits, too.
