What could be better than lounging somewhere on a secluded island deep in the South Pacific, with nothing more than a hammock strung between two palm trees allowing you to take in the sun and gentle sea breeze? Nothing, really. So we asked ourselves: what’s the best way to enjoy a little piece of this heaven in the comfort of our own homes? The answer lies in the Fatboy Headdemock. What’s a Fatboy Headdemock you ask? Simply put, it’s a hammock on steroids. This isn’t one of those little nets that you string up between a couple trees, only to hop in and find yourself balancing precariously between life and death. The Headdemock is a huge piece of pvc-coated nylon – extremely durable and impervious to less-than-desirable weather conditions – and capable of holding either a pair of adults, numerous kids, an adult plus a couple children, two adults plus a child… you get the idea. The point is, it provides a fantastic amount of support, all without the nagging feeling that you’re about to plunge to your doom.
Adding to its security, the Fatboy Headdemock ships with a heavy duty, interlocking tri-piece powder coated frame. While you’re more than welcome to use the Headdemock with any supports you’d like – a pair of trees, etc. – the included frame allows you to use your Fatboy anywhere – on a deck, by the pool, even inside, if you’d like. When attached to the frame, the Fatboy Headdemock is exceptionally stable, and provides the perfect platform to relax in the gorgeous summer air. Topping it all off, the Fatboy Headdemock is available in a your choice of eight colors, ranging from more traditional black, taupe and sand on to the more spirited turquoise, orange and lime, with pricing set at $399 for any.
I own the Fatboy Headdemock in taupe, and after trying mine, several members of my family and my eMercedesBenz colleagues loved it so much they bought their own. In selecting a color, the colors found on the the Fatboy site are pretty accurate – if anything, they actually look better in person – so if you like the color on your screen, you’ll love it in real life.
