There are countless brands in the hammock game today, which is both a blessing and a curse. On the bright side, competition, at least in theory, begets innovation. A drawback of such a wide selection, however, is that it is a whole lot more difficult to separate the high-quality hammocks from their less impressive counterparts. Fail to adequately research each hammock you consider purchasing and you may well end up with one that is unsuited to your needs.

The Utopia Home Supreme Nylon Hammock is one of the few hammocks available for less than $20 that promises to hold up under semi-regular use and we’re going to be examining why you should consider it ahead of your next camping trip in this article.

Despite its low price, the Utopia Home Supreme Nylon Hammock boasts a wide selection of features and a high maximum capacity, which we’ll discuss in detail a little later on. Available online since July of 2017, this hammock is likely to remain one of Utopia Home’s most popular products for many summers to come.

The Utopia Home Supreme Nylon Hammock generally sells for under $20, so it’s a great choice for cash-conscious campers. Similarly, it is worthy of your consideration if you are looking for a hammock to hang in your backyard during the summer months.

While this hammock boasts many of the features you would expect to find on a more expensive model, it is important to remember that it is not intended for regular heavy-duty use or use in extreme weather conditions. If you’re an outdoors enthusiast and embark on a camping trip a couple of times a year, you should resign yourself to spending a little extra for a more resilient hammock.

When you purchase the Utopia Home Supreme Nylon Hammock, you will, of course, receive the hammock itself. You’ll also get a set of adjustable straps, allowing you to hang the hammock with ease. Attached to the hammock you will find a bag into which it can be folded, along with the aforementioned adjustable straps, for maximum convenience during transportation.

The Utopia Home Supreme Nylon Hammock features two solid steel carabiners and a pair of tree-friendly straps to ensure easy installation and continued stability. When properly erected, the hammock itself boasts a maximum capacity of 400 pounds, meaning you and your camping partner could conceivably spend the entire night on it, no tent needed.

This is made possible by the hammock’s nylon 210T parachute fabric construction and Utopia Home’s triple interlocking stitching. To add to its convenience, the Utopia Home Supreme Nylon Hammock requires only moderate maintenance and can be easily hand washed using warm water.

If you are a casual camper, you likely have minimal experience with hammocks and aren’t entirely certain how to install one in your backyard or chosen camping spot. In order to familiarize yourself with the workings of this hammock before purchasing it, we suggest you watch the below tutorial. In it, you will be shown how to safely erect the Utopia Home Supreme Nylon Hammock – or, indeed, any hammock – for a safe and stable night’s sleep.

If you’re a more hardcore outdoors person and are searching for a hammock that can withstand regular use in a variety of conditions, you should forgo the Utopia Home Supreme Nylon Hammock and instead consider the Skeeter Beeter Pro Mosquito Hammock from Grand Trunk. This is a professional-quality hammock and comes loaded with the features to prove it.

A product of one of the most reputable names in the industry, the Grand Trunk Skeeter Beeter Pro Mosquito Hammock promises protection from mosquitoes and the various viruses they carry, as well as double-sided zippers, easy installation, and 100% parachute nylon construction.

Of course, as a professional-grade hammock this model sells for quite a bit more than its Utopia Home alternative. If you want to add the Grand Trunk Skeeter Beeter Pro Mosquito Hammock to your camping arsenal, you should be prepared to spend upwards of $80.

The Utopia Home Supreme Nylon Hammock may not have all the features of its Grand Trunk counterpart, but it still boasts a great deal more than the average $20 model. Its triple interlocking stitching and nylon 210T parachute fabric construction work together to ensure it will hold up under regular use throughout the summer months.

Similarly, its dual adjustable straps allow it to be raised and lowered according to the preferences of the camper, so you can share it with family members or friends if necessary. The hammock’s integrated branded carrying bag makes it perfect for backpacking or festival use, while its tree-friendly straps mean you won’t have to worry about your camping trip negatively impacting the environment.
