The Hennessy Hammock is the most innovative solution to lightweight, comfortable camping on the planet.

At last, you will never need to find a level camp site. No more roots, rocks or puddles coming through the floor of your tent. No more aching muscles and stiff joints from sleeping on the hard ground. And no more carrying a heavy tent.

Hennessy Hammocks have a size and weight for every purpose, a complete line of specialty hammocks, including jungle hammocks, winter hammocks, and hammock accessories. All Hennessy Hammocks include attached mosquito netting, detachable rain fly, support ropes, tree huggers to protect the of the bark of trees, and stuff sack with set up Instructions on back. To find the right hammock for you, see our hammock comparison chart and info pages about simple set up tips and staying warm and comfortable in your hammock.

Hennessy Hammocks are most comfortable when suspended off the ground as a bugproof enclosed bed or folded into a chair or lounger for relaxing around camp. When there are no trees or other supports, they are superior to a bivy sack when set up on the ground as a tent.

Experience a level of comfort on the trail almost as good as your bed at home and maybe even better. The Hennessy Hammock is a totally new design for camping hammocks with patents in the U.S., Canada and internationally. It has been tested in Canada, the U.S., Central and South America, and Africa and used in some of the most extreme conditions and hostile environments in the world. The patented asymmetrically shaped hammock supports your back like a quality mattress off the ground. You will wake up in the morning feeling great. Some owners of Hennessy Hammocks claim that they come home from their adventure feeling better than when they left.

The Hennessy Hammock is just as a comfortable for expeditions into the Amazon jungle or on an African Safari as it is in the back yard or out at the cottage. The Hennessy Hammock brings truly new features to camping hammocks with a range of models for every purpose - from the new racing models weighing as little as 15 oz.(including the support ropes, bug-screen, and detachable rain-fly!) to ultralite camping hammocks which are still under 2 lbs.!
