Cross hammocks - the name already says it - differ in their changed hanging direction compared to conventional hammocks. One no longer swings over the head-foot axis from left to right, but over the left-right axis in the direction of the head and foot. This difference has an impact on the design, ergonomics and possible uses. At the beginning of the development was an innovative idea, which is at odds with the commonly known concept of a hammock. Consequently thought through to the end and transferred into a product range, a new outdoor product was created, which can of course also be used indoors. Only high-quality high-tech materials were used, which give the cross hammock stability and durability.

Design

Each Cross Hammock cross hammock is made of specially shaped and elaborately processed hammock fabric made of ripstop nylon. On the left and right sides, 20 suspension cords are attached, which are bundled by two Evo-Loops. The loops are in turn connected to each other by a ridgeline, creating an approximately equilateral triangle of forces that is attached to trees or other suitable fixed points via straps.
Using about 30% less material than classic hammocks, Cross Hammocks are the lightest hammocks on the market.
The main difference between the various models is the mosquito net, which is missing on the standard model, is firmly sewn on the Protection model and can be zipped off on the Versatility and 2 in 1 models. The mesh models also have a higher head and foot section. Compared to the standard model, from which you can easily see the surroundings of the hammock in all directions, the all-round visibility is somewhat limited in these models.

Ergonomics

A fundamental difference of the Cross Hammock from the normal Gathered End Hammock is the straight lying position, which allows a relaxed rest, but also makes sleeping in it very comfortable. Moreover, it is possible to turn from one side to the other without any problems as a 'side lounger'. The Cross Hammock cross hammock makes all the movements and at the same time, due to its geometry, prevents you from sagging banana-shaped. In addition, the length of the ridgeline and the position of the head section can be adjusted via Whoopie Slings so that the Cross Hammock can be optimally adapted to individual needs and circumstances.

Possible uses

The uses of a cross hammock are almost unlimited. You can hang it in the apartment - and you will discover how much even children like to swing and play in it. It is excellent for relaxing in the park - whereby the small necessary tree distance allows suspension solutions that would be impossible with a normal hammock. However, the Cross Hammock unfolds its full comfort in demanding outdoor use - a four-poster bed if necessary even in ice and snow!
