Choosing your hammock
Compare sizes, comfort, capacity and options for your home or outdoor space.
Can I buy just one hammock directly from CIELO?
Yes. You can buy a single hammock for your home directly from our online store.
If you need help choosing, contact our team on WhatsApp with details of your space, preferred material and intended use.
Which CIELO hammock is the most comfortable?
Comfort depends on your preferred feel, the size and weave, and how you like to relax. For a soft, breathable feel indoors, consider our OSO® Cotton hammocks.
Compare the model’s dimensions and recommended occupancy to find the right fit for you.
Which hammock should I choose for indoor use?
For indoor spaces, consider OSO® Cotton, traditional cotton or our cotton Crochet hammocks. Choose by the dimensions, feel and recommended occupancy listed for the specific model.
Which hammock should I choose for a patio or garden?
Our DuraSun® collection is recommended for regular outdoor use, including patios, gardens and hospitality spaces. Check the specific model’s dimensions and care guidance before choosing it for your space.
What is the difference between hammocks with and without spreader bars?
A traditional hammock without spreader bars has a flexible weave that wraps around the body. Spreader bars hold the resting area open and give the hammock a different shape and appearance.
Check each model’s installation requirements when deciding which design suits your space.
How do CIELO hammock sizes differ?
In our traditional hammock range, size differences mainly relate to the width and amount of weaving. Other designs can have different proportions.
Compare the resting area, total length and recommended occupancy on each product page. Use the measurements for your chosen model when planning your space.
How much weight can a CIELO hammock support?
Use the weight capacity stated on the specific product page. A rating for one model does not apply to the entire collection.
The suspension hardware, supporting structure and installation must also be suitable for the intended load. Stay within the limits of the complete hanging system.
Can two people share a hammock?
Some models are designed for more than one person. Check both the recommended occupancy and the weight limit on the product page.
The combined load must remain within the limits of the hammock and the complete hanging system.
What if the hammock I want is unavailable?
Contact our team on WhatsApp with the product name and your preferred color or size.
We can review available alternatives and confirm whether a new production order is possible, including its estimated lead time.
Materials & outdoor use
Understand the fibers, weaving techniques and care considerations behind each collection.
What materials are CIELO hammocks made from?
Depending on the model, our range includes OSO® Cotton, traditional cotton, DuraSun®, nylon and natural henequén.
Crochet describes a textile technique rather than a fiber. Check the product page for the exact material and its intended use.
What makes a Crochet hammock special?
Our cotton Crochet hammocks feature intricate handwork and a decorative finish suited to interiors. Their appeal lies in the detail and character of the textile.
Explore the Crochet collection and follow the material and care guidance for the model you choose.
What is a henequén or sisal hammock?
Our henequén hammock uses a plant fiber associated with Yucatán, with a firm, textured feel and a distinctive natural appearance.
Its texture differs from soft cotton, so consider how you want the hammock to feel and where you plan to use it. Check the product page for the exact material.
Can I leave a nylon hammock in direct sunlight?
Nylon handles moisture well, but prolonged sunlight can fade and weaken the thread over time.
For regular exposure to sun and weather, consider DuraSun® and follow the care guidance for your chosen model.
Can I use a cotton hammock outdoors?
Cotton hammocks are recommended for indoor use. You can enjoy yours outside temporarily and bring it indoors afterward.
Protect it from rain and prolonged sun, and let it dry completely before storage.
How long will a DuraSun® hammock last outdoors?
DuraSun® is designed for outdoor use, with materials selected for resistance to sun and moisture. Its service life depends on exposure, frequency of use and care.
Follow the care instructions for your model and contact our team on WhatsApp to confirm any written warranty that applies to it.
Hanging & setup
Plan your hanging space and check supports, stands and installation requirements.
How do I hang a CIELO hammock?
Start with the instructions for your specific hammock and review our hanging and care tutorials.
- Check that the supporting points are suitable for the hammock and intended load.
- Use suspension hardware and fasteners suited to the supporting structure and installation surface.
- Confirm the model’s spacing and hanging requirements before use.
If you need help assessing the setup, contact our team on WhatsApp with the model, measurements and photos of your space.
How much space and hanging height does my hammock need?
The required distance and height depend on the hammock’s total length, design and suspension setup. To help assess the fit, contact our team on WhatsApp with:
- The model name.
- The distance between the intended support points.
- The available hanging height and photos of the space.
Can I hang my hammock between trees?
Yes, provided the trees and suspension setup are suitable for the hammock and intended load. Use appropriate tree-friendly straps or suspension and follow the model’s hanging instructions.
Review our hanging and care tutorials before setting up.
Can I install a hammock on concrete or wood?
CIELO offers hanging hardware for concrete and wood. Compatibility depends on the hardware, fasteners and supporting structure.
Use a kit suited to the surface and have a qualified installer assess the support when needed.
Will a CIELO hammock fit my existing stand?
Compatibility depends on the hammock’s total length and design, the stand’s attachment points and its rated capacity.
Before buying, contact our team on WhatsApp with the hammock model, the stand’s measurements and capacity, especially when choosing a hammock with spreader bars.
Can a hammock chair be hung from a ceiling?
A hammock chair needs a supporting structure and suspension system suitable for its specific model and intended load.
Have a qualified installer assess the ceiling structure and fasteners before installation.
How should I lie in a traditional hammock?
In a traditional hammock without spreader bars, a diagonal resting position can help open the weave and provide a comfortable resting position.
Enter gently and follow the instructions supplied with your model.
