What is the difference between hammocks with and without spreader bars?
The Spreader Bar hammock is a very decorative hammock because of its beauty and size. We suggest it for gardens and terraces. A spreader bar is also necessary in any hammock that you plan to install in a conventional low off the ground hammock stand, because if you stretch a hammock tight enough to keep it off the ground when you are in it, you will find it difficult to get into, and uncomfortable. The bar keeps it open so you can use it. Some couples also prefer the flatness of it for use by two people. Spreader bar hammocks are generally considered to be less comfortable than the Mayan, Nicaraguan, and Brazilian styles that we specialize in. These designs go back three thousand years to the ancient Maya, and are considered to be the most comfortable in the world. Orthopedists and Chiropractors recommend these hammocks for people with back problems, as does Dr. Tommy Hamaca!
