Spreader Bar Hammocks
Spreader bar hammocks are a popular choice for shoppers who want a flatter, more open hammock feel. The spreader bars hold the bed open, which makes these styles easier to get into, more airy around the face, and well suited to reading, relaxing and stretching out in the sun.
This collection brings together hammock-only styles, stand bundles and larger outdoor options so you can compare what suits your space. Whether you are shopping for a backyard, deck, covered patio or poolside setup, this page is built to help you choose the right size, hanging method and style.
Why choose a spreader bar hammock?
- A flatter, more open hammock feel
- Easier entry and exit for many shoppers
- More airflow around your upper body
- Great for reading, lounging and sunbathing
- A structured look that suits decks, patios and pool areas
Which setup suits you?
Hammock only
Best if you already have suitable fixing points or want to hang between trees or posts.
Spreader bar hammock with stand
Best if you want a freestanding setup and do not want to rely on trees or permanent fixing points.
Single spreader bar hammocks
A practical choice for solo use and smaller spaces.
Double spreader bar hammocks
A good middle ground for extra room without stepping up to the largest size.
King or family-size options
Best for shoppers who want a roomier feel or a larger backyard setup.
How to choose the right one
The most important thing with a spreader bar hammock is fit. These hammocks usually need proper tension and a longer footprint than traditional hammocks, so it is worth checking the total length, stand compatibility and available space before ordering.
- Check whether the listing is hammock-only or a full stand bundle
- Choose your size: single, double or king
- Measure your space before ordering
- Review the weight capacity on the individual product page
- Check the material and care requirements
- Decide whether you need tree straps or a hammock stand

Frequently asked questions
What is a spreader bar hammock?
It is a hammock with bars at each end that help keep the bed open and flatter than a traditional gathered-end hammock.
Is a spreader bar hammock better than a traditional hammock?
That depends on how you like to relax. Many shoppers choose spreader bar hammocks for a flatter, more open feel for reading and lounging, while traditional hammocks feel more wrapped and cocoon-like.
Do I need a stand?
Not always. Some buyers hang their hammock between trees or posts, while others choose a stand bundle for a freestanding setup.
Are spreader bar hammocks good for small spaces?
They can work in some smaller outdoor spaces, but you need to check total length and clearance carefully because spreader bar hammocks usually need more footprint than traditional styles.
What should I check before ordering?
Check whether the listing is hammock-only or includes a stand, then confirm size, weight capacity, material and setup suitability on the individual product page.

Comfortable cushion, great service!
I ordered a new cushion for my very old and tired egg chair. I was delighted the cushion turned up in only 3 or 4 days, and it looks great. Perfect timing for spring - I can now retire to my comfortable chair with my book in the sunshine. Very pleased!
Hideout hanging tent
My son absolutely loves his hanging tent, he is in there all the time, and it has been a great space for sensory regulation.
