You can be green even when having one of the laziest afternoons. Kick back and enjoy summer in the Ultimate Hammock. What makes it an eco product? The hammock is made from recycled soda bottles. You can recycle plastic bottles all you want, but unless consumers like you are going out and buying products made from that old stuff, the process doesn’t work.

What’s cool is that this material is actually perfect for a backyard hammock. It will repel water so you’ll always have a dry seat and it won’t deteriorate in the sun. And most importantly, it feels just as soft as cotton so you can really relax and enjoy nature. Even the wooden pieces, which are made of white oak, are treated naturally with linseed oil and they’re Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified.

If you’re going to hang your hammock between two trees, be sure to select them carefully. Look for trees that are big and strong enough to support the weight of whoever may pile on the hammock. Generally, you’ll need a trunk that’s at least 6 inches in diameter. You should also look for any signs of decay or weakness because you don’t want to risk injuring yourself or a tree.
