Paid: Under $40, AliExpress.us (search: outdoor camping hammock)
Solid, packs small, and cheap enough that I bought two more.

Who it's for
Dock naps, camping, and anyone who wants a hammock without a furniture budget.
Who should skip
People hunting a stand-and-cushion backyard hammock set, not a packable camping one.
I love the idea of a hammock. I love the idea of having the time to take naps in a hammock. Bliss. So I needed to find a way to have a hammock on the dock — enter the outdoor camping hammock I bought off AliExpress.
This is a great item: very solidly constructed, packs away into its own small self-contained pouch, and can be easily strung up using the built-in straps and clips. Comfortable to lay in, and it comes with a built-in bug guard that zips closed. I trust it enough to dangle over the river in it, even in colder temps. I liked it enough that I bought two more.
It's a bargain under $40.
The Mrs. Questionable Test.
Perched precariously over open water in a canvas hammock that her husband purchased from a Chinese retailer for less money than typical manicure isn’t Mrs. Questionable’s idea of a good time. Consider this product tested by a party of one.
Pros
- Solid construction
- Packs into its own pouch
- Built-in straps, clips, and bug guard
- Under $40
- Hasn’t failed me yet
Cons
- It's a packable camping hammock, not patio furniture
- Your Questionable Kids will find a way to put a hole in the mosquito netting if you upgrade to that option
