In order to enjoy a hassle-free hammock camping at home, you must buy the right hammock that is suitable for you and your home. If you look around, you will find that there are a wide variety of hammocks available on the market. Hammocks vary in price, material, weight, and build quality. But generally, there are two major options for you to choose: one-person and two-person hammocks.
You should opt for the two-person hammock if you want more space and don't mind the extra weight that comes with it. You will get superior comfort while sleeping in a two-person hammock. Or you can go with the one-person hammock which tends to be less spacious but is lightweight compared to most two-person hammocks. If you are limited to budget, you can start simple and just buy a hammock and straps.
2) Finding the right spot to hang your hammock

After you're done choosing the right hammock for your stay indoors, you should now look out for the best spots where you can hang your hammock. If it's your first time using a hammock, be sure to read the manual properly before doing anything. The wall and the staircase are some of the places where you should be able to hand your hammock. You can install lag hooks on your wall that can compensate for the camper’s weight. Once you’ve secured your hammock to the wall, we recommend testing its weight capacity.
Unique placement can make all the difference. But if you don't want to drill holes in your wall, consider getting a sturdy stand to hand your hammock. With a hammock stand, you can easily hook & unhook your hammock. We recommend getting yourself the Lazy Daze Hammocks Space Saving. It can hold weight up to 450 pounds and costs approximately $129.
3) Extra activities

But if you don't like the idea of just sleeping in your hammock then you should consider buying books to read or planning a movie marathon to watch all night long. Most of the time you can stay inside your hammock without feeling the need to do anything else. But there may come a time when just sleeping in a hammock might sound a bit boring to you. So, in that case, planning extra indoor activities should come in handy.
