Read More Perfect for outdoor lounging, these hammocks are the ideal summer addition for your backyard. Tessa Flores is a Staff Writer for HuffPost covering a number of shopping topics and lifestyle trends. Fortunately for us all, free-standing hammocks are totally a thing and they might just make the perfect backyard (or wherever else) addition to your summer. Most stand-alone hammocks feature their own secure frames or stands to which you attach the hammock. Some can be permanent fixtures once assembled, while others offer the benefit of portability, making them great options to take with you camping or to the beach. We gathered a selection of free-standing hammocks at every price point and need — because why should the backyard tree-havers have all the fun? This double hammock is the highest-rated free-standing option on Amazon and is made with a tightly woven, durable cotton fabric available in 19 colors. The snap-together steel frame is also adjustable to customize how high or low you want the hammock to sit. Promising review: "I've been sleeping in this hammock every night for 5 years straight while weighing around 160lbs. I no longer sleep on a mattress because the hammock gives me better quality sleep, keeps me from sleeping on my stomach, and is washable. After 4 years, one of the loops that hooks on to the frame split apart but still holds on to the hook just fine. It is very sturdy and machine washable. Some knots at the loop may come apart after extended use. If there are noises coming from the frame when sitting or getting off the hammock, simply pour some oil or wd-40 on parts of the frame that are not painted on because the metal tends to rub each other. I highly recommend this product." —Roman This hammock comes in two sizes so you can lounge solo or with friends. The sturdy metal frame is rust resistant and works indoors and outside. Installation is easy and can be done by one person, which means your perfect hammock experience is right at your finger tips.

It was easy to assemble, feels sturdy, and comfortably fits two people without wobbling or tipping.
