We conduct rigorous testing on all of our hammocks to ensure that they can support more weight than their advertised capacity. However, we still advise using the weight capacity as a guideline when making your purchase. Our hammocks are classified into three categories: single (for one person), double (for two people), and family (for 2+ people). If you're ordering a hammock and fixings or stand together, please make sure that their weight capacities are appropriate for your intended use.
