ENO DoubleNest Hammock

The ENO DoubleNest Hammock is the family hammock that actually works. Unlike typical camping gear that feels like a compromise, this one delivers real comfort for two people—or one adult and curious kid lounging together—without sacrificing portability or durability.

What makes it special for outdoor families:

Lightweight and packable: Stuffs into a stuff sack smaller than a water bottle. Your 6-year-old can help carry it on the hike in.
Real weight capacity: Holds up to 400 lbs, so parents and kids can actually relax together without worry.
Backyard-ready: Two trees? You're set up in minutes. No special knots required—just the provided carabiners.
Durable nylon construction: It'll survive seasons of use, weekend trips, and the occasional twig snag.
Built-in bug net option: The Atlas bug net (sold separately) transforms it into a genuine sleeping solution for camping trips.

We love watching kids discover the magic of hammocking—that moment when they realize they can read, nap, or just exist suspended above the ground changes how they see outdoor time. It's meditative for parents too, which matters.

Fair cautions: You need appropriate trees (ideally 12–15 feet apart), and the learning curve for perfect angle and height setup takes one or two tries. The fabric is nylon, not ultralight, so it's not ultralight backpacking gear—but it's not meant to be.

For families seeking a genuine connection point in nature that works across seasons and actually gets used, this is it.

Why The Barefoot Bub recommends

The DoubleNest delivers real comfort and genuine utility for families. It's portable enough to become a regular part of your outdoor routine—backyard afternoons, camping trips, or just hanging out together—without the weight penalty of traditional camping furniture. Kids and parents both love it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a parent and child really both fit comfortably?

Yes. The DoubleNest is designed for two people up to 400 lbs combined. One adult and one child (ages 4–8) fit naturally with room to move. Many families find it their favorite spot for reading or talking together outdoors.

What trees do we need?

You need two healthy trees roughly 12–15 feet apart. The included carabiners adjust to fit different trunk sizes. Test the trees' strength before hanging, and avoid thin saplings or dead wood.

Can we use it year-round?

Absolutely. The nylon fabric handles spring, summer, and autumn well. Winter use works too, though the cold makes the fabric stiffer. Pair it with the optional bug net for overnight camping trips.

How long does setup take?

Once you've done it once, setup is under 2 minutes. Your first time may take 5–10 minutes while you find the right height and angle—which is part of the fun with kids.
