The world's most simple contraption for lazily reclining — the hammock — is one of the few things in life that recalls only good memories.

Your current abode needn't have outdoor space to enjoy the comfort, relaxation, and undeniable good vibes of a hammock year round. In fact, this adult cocoon is often easier to set up indoors — slung between two beams or posts or hung from the ceiling — and can be taken down in a jiffy. Still not convinced?
