I hoped to enjoy this hammock and expected that since it's made of cotton, it would be resilient, enveloping and comfortable. However, it is extremely small and narrow, so you have to balance your body in it or you will surely fall out. It does not have any give so it is not comfortable. And it does not envelop you because it is not wide enough. The color is far brighter on the photo than in person. I wish it had been as described, as it seemed like it was going to be a great hammock. But I wouldn't recommend it.
