The hammock has always been a symbol of leisure, relaxation and easy living. The exact origin of National Hammock Day is unknown, but it is known that Hammock day is not a day for work. Hammocks were originally developed by native inhabitants of Central and South America for sleeping. The first hammocks were woven out of bark from a “hamack” tree, hence the name. Later this material was replaced by many different fibers that were more abundant.

Hammock’s are used all over the world and for many purposes. Not only can you use a hammock as a great afternoon lounge spot, but many people use hammocks as their everyday bed. In fact, hammock’s are proven to help people fall asleep faster, as well as improving sleep quality. The gentle rocking motion of a hammock encourages a deeper state of sleep than sleeping on a stationary bed. Now, who wouldn’t be interested in that? As if that wasn’t enough, here is a list of six benefits of sleeping in a hammock:

1. Faster Sleep
2. Zero-Pressure Points
3. Deeper Sleep
4. No More Bed Making
5. Hammocks Are Good for Your Health
6. Comfort
7. If you think about it, hammocks have a smaller eco footprint in comparison to a tent or another form of camping shelter. Less fabric and materials go in to making a hammock than most other shelters or sleeping systems out there. Not to mention if you sleep in a hammock, off the ground, you are saving the vegetation below, as well as protecting yourself from the elements, bugs and wildlife.

So when July 22nd rolls around this year, and every year, take a few minutes to sit back and unwind on a hammock. Let the benefits and relaxation take over your busy mind and just simply “hang out.”

Happy National Hammock Day!

The Beach Bum Dad

If your dad loves the sun and sand, he’s going to need some sun protection. While sunblock is a great idea, it is less than impressive as a gift. Grand Trunk’s Parasheet is a great gift to give to your dad. Unlike the usual beach towel, the Parasheet allows you to fill the corner pockets with rocks or sand so that it doesn’t fly away. 

The Chill Dad

After  a long day of work, most dads just want to relax. The Grand Trunk Double Hammock is a durable and comfortable way for your dad to relax outdoors. Our hammocks are high strength and come with nautical strength carabiners.

The Outdoorsy Dad

Props to this special kind of dad! He’s the one that taught us how to pitch our first tent and build a fire. We recommend the Uinta Quick-Set 4 Man Tent for your outdoorsy father. This tent is a total game-changer. This tent’s easy set-up will ensure that your father spends less time figuring out his tent and more time having a beer around the campfire.

The Travelling Dad

For the dad always jetting off on vacations or business trips, the gift of comfort is the most valuable. The Grand Trunk Hooded Travel Pillow serves a lot of comfort as well as convenience. Whether its a plane, train, or automobile, your dad can get some shut eye in peace thanks to the memory foam lining and fleece shell on the Hooded Travel Pillow.

There are many kinds of fathers out there – but none as special as your own. Find him something he’ll genuinely enjoy this year! We hope you find the perfect gift for your dad – no matter what he’s into.

Happy Father’s Day from Grand Trunk!
