Hello fellow rantards, I am considering purchasing a hammock for my back yard. I have a couple of large and well-spaced trees upon which to secure this proposed hammock.
Any recommendations on hammocks? GFing myself isn't a recommendation, BTdubs.
I want a large one, capable of two people. Any preferences on whether to get one of those cord/string hammocks vs solid fabric ones? Any good brands? Any shitty brands to avoid?
TIA.

From what I understand..Cuban hammocks are like Cuban cigars..good luck 
eta: For real though, Venezuelan hammocks are supposed to be top notch, but I realize that's not very informative or helpful..

The cord ones are less comfortable, IMO

Not so much. Also, the fabric ones are hotter than the corded ones. Whatever you decide, make sure to get one that includes the spreader bars. My wife's sister gave her one that was fabric without the spreader bars and it was like being wrapped up...and incredibly hot.

Steer clear of the banana variety. They're uncomfortable for everyone involved.

Get an Eno double. easy to put up and take down. ENO website

The DoubleNest reigns supreme. It's our bread-and-butter. It's your all-access pass to relaxation. Big enough for two and palatial for one, the DoubleNest still manages to stuff easily into its attached compression sack. Take it anywhere, set it up in seconds flat, lay back and…Oh, did you want to join me? I've got room for one more…

If you're leaving the hammock up permanently i wouldnt go with ENO. They are great hammocks but they're more made for camping trips.

I have a Pawley's Island hammock and I love it. It has a somewhat portable stand rather than hanging it between two trees. I keep it in the garage in the winter, and the backyard the rest of the year. I've never had the cord/string variety so can't comment. Mine is a padded canvas type material.

There's the Hammock Hut, that's on third. There's Hammocks-R-Us, that's on third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There. That's on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the hammock complex on third.
